Hey, a Cessna 150 is cool airplane! I started my training on my local airport 152. I think Aviation101 uses one of those for his YouTube channel.

Thanks for the feedback. There are other general purposes ePaper devices out there meeting that need (TRMNL comes to mind). I wanted something smaller for my desk that looked like a cockpit instrument. That's why I created this.

I am curious to see if there is more general use demand for this form factor.

Apple M5 chip 9 months ago

Apple has also seemingly stopped caring about the quality and efficiency of their software. You can see this especially in the latest iOS/iPadOS/macOS 26 versions of their operating systems. They need their software leadership to match their hardware leadership, otherwise good hardware with bad software still leads to bad product, which is what we are seeing now.

FYI, I spent some more time troubleshooting and might have found the root cause. I had switched to 1Password 8 Beta before it was released because I enjoyed the updated UI. Once version 8 was officially released, I switched to the Stable channel, but the desktop app was stuck on the old beta version. So, beta was old, but the extension kept getting updated likely causing the bad behavior.

I uninstalled the macOS beta app and reinstalled the stable version. It seems to be working fine for the last day or so.

I have enjoyed how quickly 1Password was adopting new technology and features while still staying stable. It just worked. Lately, that hasn't been the case. Recently, the browser extension, which is my main interface for 1Password, has been acting up.

I use browser extension in Edge on macOS. I am on a page signing up for a new website and want to save credentials. It doesn't. Keeps erroring out. Disabling and re-enabling extension, and then refreshing the tab finally fixes it. I reached out to customer support and they told me to sign out to force refresh the cache. I did it, but the problem wasn't fixed.

1Password needs to fix the bugs that their customers are already reporting, instead of alienating their users with telemetry. I don't think the learnings from telemetry will be worth the damage it will cause to their brand.

  Some may ask why we didn’t announce these role reductions with the ones we announced a couple months ago. The short answer is that not all of the teams were done with their analyses in the late fall;
I am torn on this. How does the decision to have at least two layoffs affect employee morale? Is that not worth waiting?
CircleCI Layoffs 4 years ago

I don't know about CircleCI specifically, but generally, pre-IPO companies are pushed to reinvest profits in favor of aggressive/continued growth, instead of profit. Most companies intentionally overspend, but now that the investments are drying out, they are changing their posture. So, I would guess it's the former, i.e., letting people go to reduce the risk of running out of money.

At the same time, depending on how the business is doing, some investors might look for exits too instead of plateau or later raising another round. So, it could be both.

Even if there was a manual, the darn things keep changing and every unit has it's own set of quirks! =) Sometimes it feels like there is no quality control. You would think that by now someone would require a mandatory recall program, but it hasn't happen yet...

I only have one, but I have heard that a second one could be a hit or miss. In some cases, it will help fix the first one, but in other cases it has resulted in getting spoiled itself.
