  • Why “especially if you’re not i the US”?

    I’m not in the US, and switched to kobo a couple of years ago, but i’ve had to keep buying books from amazon, sine the kobo store is just realy bad (missing a lot of books, even popular once), and there are few others who offer ebooks here.

    The quality of the devices seem not the greatest either.

    Bought a kobo libra first and it lasted just long enough for the warranty to expire before it just fully died. Replaced it with a kobo libra colour, and had to replace it three times before I got one that didn’t have pin holes on the screen where light shone through.

    Meanwhile my 9 year old kindle oasis works just fine, it has just gotten slow and the battery is worse, which is why I replaced it with kobo.









  • Yeah, I’m in the same boat.

    I’ll have a lot of tabs open with documentation and such as I’m working on things, but at the end of the day they are all either bookmarked if I need to continue the next day, or closed as I close my browser.

    Then we have people like one of the consultants we have, that has 100+ tabs open, in several browser windows (different profiles), at all times. I wonder how much money we’ve wasted on him just by waiting for him to find the right tab when he wants to show us something in meetings…


  • Since no one told me this, I will trek people:

    If you go for codium, be warned that one of the big points of vs code, extensions, gets a lot more of a hassle.

    One of the things you lose is access to Microsofts extension store, and they’ve added their own instead, and that one is missing a lot.

    If you want extensions from the Microsoft store, you need to download them manually from the website, and keep them updated manually.





  • No, they don’t default to the entire profile.

    They default to what is called “known folders”, which is things like the documents, pictures, desktop and and other folders (in effect, the bunch of folders that default show in the left side navigation in Explorer)

    The Appdata folder is not included, and that is where these save files and configs belong, and not saving there, and using the documents folder instead, is old and lazyness by the debs.
