    You have to keep in mind that the tech at the time was pretty revolutionary, but dated now. The e-ink display was legible in the brightest daylight and it had a battery life of 7-10 days depending on the model. I liked the minimalist styling of it, and hope they continue with a future model.

    I’ve always been curious to know how it would have evolved if it hadn’t been killed off. A newer version would hopefully take advantage of color e-ink displays and have some of the features current smart watches have. But honestly, they could make the Pebble Steel again with updated parts and I’d buy it in a second.






  • Cut out my mother a few years ago and I’m doing pretty great. No more anxiety at family gatherings or random guilt tripping phone calls. It’s amazing the behavior you recognize when you’re no longer subject to it.

    She was/is very manipulative and I’m hoping that my siblings eventually figure it out too. Two of them are firmly on her side while the other 2 remain neutral. I’ve explained to them my situation and they’re all old enough to do with that information as they will.

    There’s no chance for reconciliation and I’m ok with that. This is the most I’ve been at peace in my life, so no regrets.





  • I’m definitely a Linux novice, tried it on and off over the last decade and currently dual boot Mint on my laptop. I love Mint, it’s been the easiest version of Linux by far.

    Now the bad, DaVinci Resolve Studio just does not play nice. I know this is more of a Resolve problem, but still, it doesn’t connect to my NAS efficiently. As an editor, this is a deal breaker. I hope it gets fixed in the future.

    Second, it won’t even see my Bluetooth keyboard, once again, probably something to do with the hardware, but it works on everything else, even Android. I also have weird issues with my wireless Xbox controller in that the trigger buttons don’t register in games. Still trying to troubleshoot that.

    I still try to use Mint as often as I can, but there always something that keeps me from switching fully.
