Hands free reading for lazy bookworms
There are three places where I read a lot. My table while eating, my bed (usually eating as well) and on the John (after eating). I usually struggle in my bed and at my desk because I can't get the damned book to stay open, or at least be readable while open. So far I've actually placed my laptop on the book, but here's a cool solution, the BookGem!
It's a simple book stand that has an easy to use mechanism for turning the pages. You still need to do this yourself, so this is not yet perfect, but it is much simpler than lifting the laptop, turning the page (adding half a pound of grease to the book), carefully positioning the laptop back and resuming the lovely meal.
The handy tool is small enough to put in your pocket (although you will look a bit weird) and is sturdy enough to hold most books. It is available through Bookgem/a> for a quite attractive $15. I really am thinking of placing an order, if someone has used one of these please do share your thoughts.
Cleverly designed, this diminutive device is replete with intelligent features: a little pull-out stand supports the book, two sturdy clips hold the pages in place, a pair of pull-out legs holds the book upright on a table. Best of all, spring-loaded page holders on either end make for simple page-turning without the need for repositioning the text; you just grip both holders with one hand and squeeze.
The site offers a discount if you order multiple book stands. They can be purchased directly on site or through Amazon where they are offered as well. The manufacturer notes that it may take up to 21 days before the item arrives in certain locations as it is send from the USA.

If Nothing OS is nothing more that an overlay with Google still in the midst….then I ain’t interested.
Another unrelated comment older than the article. Pathetic.
it is becoming mindbogglingly annoying indeed…

Apple was forced to add USB-C to a phone and the maccultists start talking about “revolution” and “paradigm shift” (as if USB phones had never come out before). It’s so ridiculous it’s reminiscent of comedians doing the “stepped on a water hose” stunt – that was at least somehow funny a hundred years ago.
Reading this on a site that used to be a technical resource is especially ridiculous.
How pathetic
“An iPhone 15 with a USB-C port will mean more than you think”
That Apple can finally stop hindering progress if spanked hard enough ?
I’m thrilled to see Instagram taking steps to enhance the user experience with features like Live Activities. This update is a game-changer, especially for those who frequently upload content on the platform.
The ability to track upload progress in the background is a simple yet incredibly useful addition. It not only keeps users informed about the status of their uploads but also allows for a more seamless experience on the platform. No more constantly checking if your post has successfully uploaded or worrying about interrupted uploads due to a weak signal.
As an active Instagram user, this feature is a relief. It showcases Instagram’s commitment to improving user satisfaction and addressing common pain points. It’s all about making the platform more user-friendly, and this feature certainly accomplishes that.
I can’t wait to try out Live Activities and enjoy a stress-free posting experience. Kudos to Instagram for continually innovating and making our social media lives easier!
Keep up the great work, Instagram, and thanks to ghacks for keeping us in the loop with the latest tech updates!
