  • Vim hasn't been able to copy to the clipboard since I switched to Wayland. Now it can and hopefully will do so in general as I have unnamedplus enabled, making the system clipboard the default one.

  • full Wayland support (including clipboard support)

    Woohoo! This limitation has significantly reduced the utility of vim for me in recent times, so it's great to see

  • I don't have a specific recommendation, but I believe the key words to search for these days are "Digital Audio Player".

    I've been following the open hardware Tangara for a while, but they're between production runs right now so you can't buy from them (you might be able to build your own though, the design is all there)

  • Ode to the AA Battery

    Jump

  • One problem is many devices don't have a proper BMS integrated into the charging circuit, that will cut power before the battery is below a critical threshold. Li-ion cells start to have problems below 3V, and often suffer permanent damage below 2.5V.

    This is a problem with rechargeable AAs too, though less common maybe? Many kids toys and cheap decorative lights will drain a AA to dead in my experience. I've had to reintroduce disposable batteries with the rule "no microcontroller, no rechargeable"
