One Windows shortcut that I use habitually is Ctrl + left or right arrow keys and optionally with shift in order to navigate by or select entire words at a time instead of single characters.

I’ve looked into MacOS approaches to achieve the same functionality in the past, but I never seemed to find anything of use. I’m wondering if anybody here would be aware of a solution.


Option-Left/Right to move by word; Command-Left/Right to move to the beginning or end of the line.


This is my favorite DIY robot arm at the moment. The parts seem to be fairly high quality, and it has a leader / follower arm option if you build a second one:

When looking at low cost arms I check how it connects to the mount. If it hangs on just a servo it will be very wobbly. Most mentioned in this thread are. For this price or bit more you can get a way better arm on ebay with big ball bearing on the base for stability. I got a kit for $60 or $80 recently. No servos, full metal. It's easy to add servos and put together, for now I have other arms assembled ;) No steppers because I want them to be cheap and imprecise for ML project.


Just got for $40 on amazon cheap arm with servos and bearing at the base. "Robot Arm Kits for Arduino Coding". Not that I need it, just like putting things together. Arduino not included, but I have it already. Let's see if I can use Raspberry Pico instead.


A company called TechEmpower used to run periodic web framework benchmarks and share out the results using nice dashboard. Not sure why they stopped doing these.

I’ve backed this product, the Flux Keyboard, on Kickstarter - it allows for the type of dynamic changes that the author is describing in case others are interested:

Similar setup to the Optimus Popularis around 2011

Before that they had some designs with little displays in each key, instead of a big display behind all of them


Reminds me of the 2600 back covers. There is something of the phreaking / phracking culture to this.

Instead of disposing of or recycling sub-standard chips, Intel used to repurpose some into keychains.


As others have said, RoundUp / glyphosate doesn’t always handle these tougher plants. I’ve had good results with Crossbow: https://www.winfieldunited.com/products/herbicides/crossbow/...

Not sure if that is readily available in all regions, though.


I realize this is mostly focused on XG-PON, but I’m curious if this is as much of an issue with WDM-PON that’s in use by some providers (Google Fiber is one, I think).


No, you don’t need ABM. See my earlier message about Apple Configurator.


Most of us aren’t looking to use a freemium saas product that is hamstrung by a 3 device limit.


For those looking at using this at home with their family, I think it’s possible with a little effort. Jamfnow is free for three devices, and you can use Apple Configurator to setup the iPad in supervised mode. I haven’t tried multiple profiles myself, though.

Edited to add a link (no affiliation with Jamf, just a user): https://www.jamf.com/products/jamf-now/


How does this work then? Do you give Jamf then control over your Apple device?


That’s the case with any MDM solution. Whether you use Intune, XenMobile, Jamf, etc. you are using that service to install a validated management profile on your device. Nearly every major institution does this. Personally, I picked the free Jamf solution so that I could better control my kids’ devices. It’s more complicated than Apple’s Screen Time solution, but there is so much more that you can govern with the management profiles.

What I would love to see is a robust FOSS MDM option. There seem to be a few out there, but I’m not sure how well they’re maintained.


I’m not sure supervised mode is enough tbh.


Supervised mode comes courtesy of Apple Configurator (free). MDM comes courtesy of Jamf Now (also free for three devices, for now). The combination of the two should be sufficient.
