If you’ve ever tried dragging a too-large speaker—or worse, relied on your phone’s tiny audio for sound projection—you should appreciate this sale on the Skullcandy Terrain Mini: It's palm-sized, no-frills, and currently on sale for $34.99 down from $39.99 on StackSocial , with free shipping in the U.S. That price drop isn’t jaw-dropping, but for under $35, you’re looking at a IPX7-rated waterproof speaker that won’t be damaged if it's dropped in the pool this summer. The Skullcandy Terrain Mini has Bluetooth 5.3, so the connection holds steady within a 33-foot range. The battery is said to give you 14 hours of playtime, which should cover most day-long adventures or at least a solid workday playlist without needing a recharge. When it does die, it uses USB-C, which is thankfully included in the box, so you won’t n...

Harper Is an Offline Alternative to Grammarly for Obsidian

Image
Obsidian is my favorite productivity tool. I use it for all of my writing, as a journaling app , and to replace multiple productivity tools . There's a big downside, though: no grammar checking tool. Grammarly is the best known grammar checking tool, but there's no way to add it to Obsidian. I also wouldn't enable it even if I could. Grammarly processes text on their own servers, which is a potential privacy issue and also generally inefficient. This is why I've come to love Harper , a free and open-source alternative that runs entirely on your device and can be added to Obsidian in a couple of clicks. Harper isn't just an Obsidian tool—there are also plugins for WordPress, Visual Studio Code, or any developer tool that supports the Language Server Protocol. If you'd like to see Harper in action before installing, there's a live demo on the Harper homepage —just type whatever you want and watch the recommendations. The Harper plugin for Obsidian can easil...

X is About to Be Blocked in Brazil

Image
Brazilian readers might soon have some difficulty finding this story, at least if they rely on Elon Musk's X for their news. That's because a judge has officially ordered a ban on the social media platform in the country, following a months-long battle over the limits of speech on the the site formerly known as Twitter. Conflict between X and the Brazilian government kicked off in April, when Musk unblocked certain popular accounts in Brazil that the government had previously ordered blocked in the country for spreading misinformation . The order came in the wake of far-right riots Brazil faced on January 8 of 2023 , and it's suspected that the targeted accounts were linked to the unrest . The Brazilian judiciary has spent its time after the riots cracking down on disinformation online, calling it " a singular threat " to the country. Musk, for his part, restored the banned accounts just one hour after they were taken offline. In the time since, the billionaire...
