DevFeed: [Happy New Year, the keyboard and cases are here!]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2021-12-31T00:00:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [Community blog on PINE64]() Topics: [Pinephone-Pro](), [Pinephone](), [keyboard]() Tags: [battery](), [camera](), [firmware](), [keyboard](), [peripheral](), [pinephone](), [pinephone-pro](), [screen](), [speaker](), [torch](), [usb](), [wireless]() ### AI overview Pine64 announces that the PinePhone and PinePhone Pro keyboard case, along with add-on cases, are available in the Pine Store. The keyboard case features a 180-degree hinge, rearrangeable keycaps, open firmware, a 6000mAh battery, and USB-C peripheral support. ### Source excerpt The PinePhone & PinePhone Pro keyboard case and add-on cases are now available in the Pine Store! Go to store About the keyboard case The keyboard case works with both the PinePhone and PinePhone Pro and features a clam-shell design. It uses pogo pins located on the phone's midsection and attaches by replacing the default back cover. When folded, the phone's screen and the keyboard rest securely against each other. The hinge features a 180° design, which not only allows for two-hand typing on a surface but also for comfortable thumb-typing when fully extended. The etched keycaps can be easily relocated for alternate layouts such as AZERTY or QWERTZ. The keyboard case runs an open firmware, which means that anyone with the know-how can alter existing functions or add new ones. The bottom (keyboard) and top (phone) sections of the assembly are well-balanced thanks to the large, 6000mAh, internal battery capable of charging the PinePhone (Pro) during operation. The internal battery effectively triples the phone's battery life. The internal keyboard battery can be manually toggled on/off and the keyboard's battery charge level can be read in the supported OSes; the keyboard remains functional with the battery fully depleted. You do not lose access to the PinePhone (Pro)'s USB-C port, speaker, microphone, or any external features, such as volume and lock buttons, with the keyboard attached. There is also a cut-out for the camera, torch, and headphone jack. The USB-C port on the keyboard is capable of powering both the keyboard and PinePhone (Pro) simultaneously. This means that you can plug in a USB mouse, a USB-C dongle, or some other peripheral while the phone and keyboard's internal battery charge. Please keep in mind that the keyboard case transforms the PinePhone (Pro) into a PDA, which means that taking calls will likely prove awkward without a wired or wireless headset connected.

Blank slides were used while telling personal stories, while text slides displayed quotes and key takeaways. The author reports that audience attention shifted toward the speaker and that body language, tone, and speech pace became more important, while noting drawbacks such as reduced visual guidance and greater reliance on speaker preparation. ### Source excerpt My talk at the International Women's Day event, organised by Women Techmakers gave me the chance to share my story about public speaking and also to try something new: using blank slides. Screenshot from my Google Slides The time allocated for my talk was 25min + 5min for Q&A. Since this was a non-tech talk that didn't require much visual support, I decided to combine text slides with blank slides. You can find the final deck here. My strategy was this: Use blank slides for the moments when I'm telling my story. Like this, the focus of the audience is on what I'm saying. Use text slides only for quotes and main take-aways. These would only appear in the key moments of my presentation and the audience should focus on them. The effect of the take-aways is now amplified, since these are the only parts that the audience both hears and sees. Usually in my tech talks, I tend to have one slide per idea. So I kept the same approach now, even if my slides were blank. This also gives me a sign of when I should have a small break in my speaking flow. There are a few possible downsides: The IT audience is used to talks where they always have a visual guidance, so having a black screen all of the sudden can be a surprise. I saw this effect when rehearsing my talk with a friend. But, after the initial surprise, I could see that my strategy is working: he was only looking at the slides when there was something there and the rest of the time, his attention was on what I was saying. If the audience gets distracted by their phone when they're trying to pay attention to the talk again, it will be harder to grasp the context because of the lack of visual aid. To diminish this effect, the time between text slides was only a few minutes. Talk time! How did things go? From a speaker's perspective: Given that the slides are blank, I had no more support for what's coming next in my talk. I had to rely either on the speaker's notes or on knowing the talk really well.

The article highlights a talk on tested backups and recovery, and mentions a lightning talk about pgloader. ### Source excerpt PostgreSQL Conference US took place in New York City and I had the pleasure to be a speaker there. I presented there a talk about why You'd Better Have Tested Backups. The important bit is that backups are not interesting, recoveries are. Also the only way to make sure a backup is successful is to be able to use it for recovery. ## Android Meetup at WeWork Chelsea Covers Support Design Library and Debugging DevFeed: [Android Meetup at WeWork Chelsea Covers Support Design Library and Debugging]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2016-01-21T19:55:38Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Touchlab | Enterprise Mobile Innovation & Development]() Topics: [Android](), [debugging](), [Toolbar]() Tags: [android](), [community](), [debugging](), [samsung](), [speaker](), [speaking](), [toolbar]() ### AI overview A recap of an Android meetup at WeWork Chelsea featuring talks on the Android Support Design Library and debugging.
