Comment Starlink for the next decade (Score 1) 66

Great, it will sure be great to see how this money helps the cable/telco companies profit statement. Meanwhile, I expect to be on StarLink or similar 10 years from now. (I'm 4 miles out of town and my development is 1500 feet from dark fiber). Starlink now on about 50% of the houses in my development.

Comment Consultant Travel (Score 1) 32

As a technology consultant for my current customer I had to travel a lot pre-covid.. nearly 120 days a year, but I have had other customers that didn't make me travel at all. I think travel will change, I still think I will travel, but I could see it dropping to once a month instead of 3-4 times a month. I think the trickiest part for some people has been if their home is work from home friendly. People with a lot of activity at their homes.. people coming and going or kids have a really hard time working at home and the productivity shows it. People who have good working environments in many cases are more productive at home than in the office.

Comment Re:I would love this. (Score 2) 133

As someone who used to travel for work (pre Covid) and having to carry two laptops and usually an iPad if there was a way I could get the phone to be able to be plugged in to "dock" and allow me to use it as a desktop would be something I have been asking for for a few years. The iPad with the magic keyboard is not a bad half way step. The screen is probably the biggest limiting factor at this point, it can only be so big on a phone, but when doing desktop work you really need something bigger.

Comment Current Weather Clock with Radar Map (Score 3, Interesting) 328

I connected the 7" raspberry pi touch screen and then created an electron app that shows the current time and weather for my area. http://kdekorte.blogspot.com/2... I've updated the code so that it looks a little bit better now and has a few more features, but that blog post is the gist of it.
