    HPR4143: Learning to touch-type using the Dvorak keyboard layout

    After 40 years of 'hunt and peck' typing I finally bit the bullet and learned to touch type, using the Dvorak keyboard layout.
    I found plenty of online tools and listings of software designed to help, and I cover some of these in this episode.

    HPR4140: Battery and Charging Technology 2024

    HPR4140: Battery and Charging Technology 2024

    It is obvious to most people that we need to stop burning fossil
    fuels to prevent even worse global climate change. Options like solar
    panels and windmills are options for providing clean renewable
    electricity, but since so much of our fossil fuel use is for
    transportation, we need to make strides in improving batteries and
    charging. Fortunately there have been some very positive developments
    that will show up within just a few years

Love this idea

Keep it up

Andrew Erickson ,

This is real Open Source

With a different host every day, you get people's once every few month bit of tech awesomeness every day, not oh no we have to do a show, let's throw something together. Great job on this show community. Way to go open source podcasting.

Mixed bag, at best

Some of it is moderately interesting from time to time. But after just listening to a guy (probably drunkenly,) ramble about installing an SSD and 16 gigs of RAM into a decade old MacBook for 18 minutes straight, I can't recommend. (Real hacker stuff, that...) There's plenty of better podcasts that are more consistent and technology-focused out there.
