    Time for an opinion question (and please, no arguing in the comments, I just want to solicit some opinions):

    Do you think that Apple's iPad Pro + Apple Pencil (and whatever Samsung's equivalent is/will be) will eclipse Wacom and similar "graphics tablet" products?

    Web designers need to know of this exchange between my parents:

    Father: Ah - they've updated their web site!

    Mother: Oh no.

    Father: It looks good ...

    Mother: Can you find the things we need?

    ... (long pause) ...

    Father: No ...

    If mental health reporters get it wrong as often as their tech reporters do, we'll be back to treating mental illness patients the same way we did in the 1800s again in no time.

    @bthall In the old days, latency issues were often caused by either the temperature (<60F) or by low battery charge. I had an electronic Bible in the late #1980s / early #1990s where those two things caused lots of lagging.

    @zordon I agree.

    #Liberapay has opened up a whole world for me in terms of thinking about patronage models. A follower-proportional patronage model, for instance, might allow one to support creators who are more or less niche/popular, with more money being given to the smaller producers and dynamically scaled back as they gain greater prominence.

    A base take of only 1¢ per week, per supporter scales very nicely once supporters are in the system.

    @bthall -- The argument that paid content is of better quality was all but chucked out the window.

    The primary ones making that argument these days are newspaper / magazine companies. Today, there are better arguments for paying for interesting content one regularly accesses, such as rewarding the creator and avoiding the undesirable side effects of advertising-supported sites/media.

    It seems that those who work on desktop environments and supporting software can't win. Whatever they do, there's always a large group of people shouting at them.

    An interesting story/article describing how much information can be obtained through very basic traffic analysis of a "smart" home's IoT devices:

    https://gizmodo.com/the-house-that-spied-on-me-1822429852

    Someone with more experience could derive far more information.

    1. The House That Spied on Me
      from Gizmodo
      In December, I converted my one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco into a “smart home.” I connected as many of my appliances and belongings as I could to the internet: an Amazon Echo, my lights, my coffee maker, my baby monitor, my kid’s toys, my vacuum, my TV, my toothbrush, a photo frame, a sex toy, and even my bed.

    @bthall Additional pressure + microUSB connection usually means that something will get bent and stop working soon.

    That's not the BN we used to know.😞

    @bthall Really? Several years ago, I got a Nook Glow for one of the daughters-in-law. She never even created a BN account. She filled it with the ebooks she already had.

    Maybe they've changed. That sounds eee-ville to me.
