    Woohoo! This limitation has significantly reduced the utility of vim for me in recent times, so it's great to see

  • I don't have a specific recommendation, but I believe the key words to search for these days are "Digital Audio Player".

    I've been following the open hardware Tangara for a while, but they're between production runs right now so you can't buy from them (you might be able to build your own though, the design is all there)

    As a heads up, like so many other technologies the middle has fallen out of the market thanks to the proliferation of smart phones. You'll be paying a lot for anything decent from what I've seen

  • Ode to the AA Battery

    Jump

  • One problem is many devices don't have a proper BMS integrated into the charging circuit, that will cut power before the battery is below a critical threshold. Li-ion cells start to have problems below 3V, and often suffer permanent damage below 2.5V.

    This is a problem with rechargeable AAs too, though less common maybe? Many kids toys and cheap decorative lights will drain a AA to dead in my experience. I've had to reintroduce disposable batteries with the rule "no microcontroller, no rechargeable"

  • Trump Named Delcy Rodríguez Venezuela’s Interim President and a US Partner in Governing the Country Two Hours Later, She Publicly Rejected Washington, Called It an Aggressor, and Reaffirmed Loyalty to

    Jump

  • The article title (now?) has a second line which IMO is important to include in the headline. The whole title is currently:

    Trump Named Delcy Rodríguez Venezuela’s Interim President and a US Partner in Governing the Country

    Two Hours Later, She Publicly Rejected Washington, Called It an Aggressor, and Reaffirmed Loyalty to Nicolás Maduro

    From the article:

    US president Donald Trump said that Delcy Rodriguez had been sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and had agreed to act in partnership with Washington—effectively allowing the United States to run the country.

    “In essence, she is prepared to do what we believe is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” Trump said.

    Less than two hours later, Rodriguez, who had previously served as vice-president under Nicolas Maduro, delivered a televised address to Venezuelans in which she made clear that she regarded the United States as an illegal occupier whose actions must be rejected.

    “We are determined to be free,” she said. “What is being done to Venezuela is barbarism.”
