#TERMIUS KINDLE BLUETOOTH#

Now this Bluetooth keyboard doesn't fit in a pocket, but it's also pretty darn cheap, enough so that I'm not going to be devastated if I lose it or spill a beer on it. We want something that you can keep in a purse or a pocket. Mostly it's the calculator-sized screen (and the perceived bulky size) that's scaring me away. See the FreeWrite products, which somehow don't quite fit the bill for me, despite almost exactly delivering on our dream product (full-sized keyboard, e-ink-like screen, and supreme battery life). We'd extensively discussed the need for a mobile keyboard writing thingie early in our courtship, and we even entertained the idea of building it ourselves (hint: I'm still entertaining this idea). I'd purchased it as a gift for Carly, so that she could write stuff on the go (very much the same need I'm talking about here). Luckily, we had this little Bluetooth cutie tucked away in a closet. You never know when inspirations gonna strike (usually, for me, around midnight, when I've already gone to bed), and while I'm reasonably fast thumb-typist, I just don't feel the flow feels on the phone keyboard. That's something for the Geniuses, if they're willing indulge an admittedly long in the tooth 2016 MBP (I'm doubtful).Д«ut I did want to be able to work on edits for my book on this trip. Even more damning, I recently discovered that opening the laptop screen beyond 45 degrees results in the black screen of death.

Firstly, my alu-min-i-um portable computer is just plain heavy and bulky, and I was adamant that we were going carry-on only on this voyage. So, I'm usually a laptop-bringer on any trip. Somethings always missing from the app, and if you really want to get all fiddly, which I usually do, they kick you out to a crappy webview anyway. Given the choice between doing something semi-arduous, like checking in for a flight, on a phone app vs the website (on a desktop/laptop), I always choose the latter. Instead, it's usually just a vehicle for social media nightmares.

You kinda forget that your phone is a computer, personally-speaking.

It's downright cute, aside from the legs. But this keyboard-to-phone takes the cake.

Not enough? How about this: I just SSH'ed into a Raspberry Pi on my home network using Tailscale via the Termius iOS app to restart a YouTube-playlist-to-podcast-feed Docker container.Дon't get me wrong - the other stuff is pretty magical, too, especially Tailscale. I'm typing this post on my iPhone in the Obsidian iOS app using a Logitech K380 Bluetooth keyboard and I feel like a 90s computer hacker.
