I've added an all new section on Hotwire Native to "Master Hotwire". I've put over 70h into making it the fastest way for experienced Rails developers to get up to speed with Hotwire Native. But I'll leave the old price until the end of the week: masterhotwire.com

Thing is there will be many people within the CBS finance team who could verify the shows profitability. Shocked if true.

So the Thinkpad T490 (32gb/1tb) arrived with Win 11 Pro installed.

Iโ€™ve installed Ubuntu 25 (dual boot) all setup with for Ruby dev in about half a day.

My only gripes would be the speakers sounding terrible and a trackpoint that just is not recognised. Otherwise the machine is really great.

eBay is awash with cheap decent spec Thinkpads. I need to investigate the various model lines.

Advise please. Iโ€™d like to trial developing (Ruby) on a Linux laptop.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a cheap laptop and a distro?

Iโ€™m a newbie to Linux so nothing too complex that might scare me away. Many thanks.

Today I took a Hidden London tour of Holborn tube station. Super interesting and totally worth the 70-80 minutes, so much so Iโ€™m hoping to do the Dover Street hidden tour soon. Visit the London Transport museum website for more info.

I thought I might start an irregular post series called Shite AI.

#1. The loose fruit/veg scales in my local supermarket now have an AI camera attached in order to automatically determine which produce is being weighed. Weighing produce now takes 2 to 3 times longer. Thanks AI.
