I love my Pinecil V2. It was cheaper than my 40W entry level Weller station and heats up way faster. I run it off my Anker USB power supply and also my Anker USB power bank. The power bank only outputs 30 or 40 watts though so I might upgrade that in the future. High wattage power banks are expensive though :/

TIL that whales were saved from massacre when kerosene appeared (1860s) because, until then, whale oil was widely used as illumination fuel. in c/[email protected]

It was used in automatic transmission fluid until the 1970s.

What's your unconventional productivity hack/tool in c/[email protected]

I've been into typewriters for a while which is a good way to write distraction free, but also have gotten into older word processing devices and electronics.

Alphasmart devices and Palm PDAs are great ways to write distraction free but also with some of the convenience of word processing.

TIL Morrissey wrote a novel that was published in 2015. It got a ton of negative reviews and won the "bad sex award for love scenes" that year. in c/[email protected]

This better be satire.

Google’s Pixel 9 lineup is a Pro show in c/[email protected]

I just upgraded to a Pixel 7 Pro recently. Previously I had a Galaxy S8 that worked fine for about 7 years. It was really just showing its age. It still holds a charge halfway decently.

Might try installing GrapheneOS on it at some point.

It feels fairly high quality though and I'm hoping I'll be able to get 7 years out of it like the Galaxy.

When is it next being acted on? I'd like to actually mail a physical letter explaining my concerns. Maybe they'd like it since they're dinosaurs.

It's so dumb that Windows hides file extensions by default. They could just flip a toggle.

I don't pay for Nitro but I don't have a problem for people that do. Servers aren't free so it's that or ads.
