TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus ZDNET's key takeaways The TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus is available for $249. This tablet can switch from full color to an E Ink-like display with the press of a button, it has 256GB of storage, and an eye-catching matte display with 120Hz refresh rate. The Nxtpaper 11 Plus can get heavy when you use it one-handed and doesn't include a case or stylus, though you can buy them separately. $249 at Walmart I test a lot of tablets, and admittedly, the design aspirations of many of the

Files by Google will finally be able to natively display text files (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-29 10:20:00

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s file manager for Android is working on integrating a viewer for text files. Evidence first appeared in Files by Google version 1.8436.793259964.0-release but the tool is not yet active. When available, it should let you view text files and copy data out, but won’t support editing. Android, as a platform, was never designed to be one-size-fits-all, and that’s a huge part of its appeal. Some users will go their whole lives never thinking twice

OneNote finally gets "paste text only" feature on Windows and Mac

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-11-29 10:10:39

OneNote is a powerful note-taking app, but that doesn't necessarily mean it has all the features you want. One of the missing features is 'Paste as text only,' and it's finally coming to OneNote. In a blog post, Microsoft confirmed that it's testing the ability to paste text only (plain format). Right now, when you copy content from a web page or another app and paste it into OneNote, it retains the formatting. This means colours, fonts, and text styling are copied and moved to OneNote when y

A Global Look at Teletext

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-29 22:01:23

Brief explanation Teletext is a weird technology. Although often ridiculed as completely archaic, it’s very popular in many countries still today. It seems like the public broadcasters in Europe just can’t get people to stop using it, no matter what new services they provide. You most likely know teletext in the British version, with blocky text graphics in few colours, that came intertwined with the analogue TV-signal. This is called World System Teletext. But that was only the beginning. T

AI must RTFM: Why tech writers are becoming context curators

news.ycombinator.com Fabrizio Ferri Benedetti 2025-12-02 00:04:40

AI must RTFM: Why technical writers are becoming context curators I’ve been noticing a trend among developers that use AI: they are increasingly writing and structuring docs in context folders so that the AI powered tools they use can build solutions autonomously and with greater accuracy. They now strive to understand information architecture, semantic tagging, docs markup. All of a sudden they’ve discovered docs, so they write more than they code. Because AI must RTFM now.
