I know it's not exactly the point, but would you mind sharing what specific mic and headphones you went with for this? It can help to get a sense of what to look for to create a similar setup.
Yeti blue mic and phillips fidelio headphones. This was just the "standard package" that company recommended for new hires and we were given a one time setup stipend for what they cost at the time. I didn't shop around and haven't changed anything since, there may be better options now.
I have the mic on an arm to cut down on bumps and typing transmitting through the desk, but I find it doesn't have to be right in my face. I have it above the monitor, out of view of the camera. YMMV depending on room echo, my walls are bookshelves which is pretty good as treatment.
How do you configure wifi connectivity in koreader to make this useful? koreader seems to prefer keeping wifi off unless you do an action that needs the internet. Do you leave wifi on, or just periodically turn it on manually to sync?
That happened Friday. SIVB was no more at the time of the first announcement. I believe JPM will buy the husk late Sunday or very early Monday, but Twitter has different opinions. We’ll see.
So you are granted a number of shares valued at $X. Then you can’t sell those shares until they vest, by which time they may have gained or lost value.
If you're the kind of person who likes the ability to tweak your environment and get things set up just right for you, I'd recommend getting a Kobo and putting KOReader[1] on it. It has the classic OSS problem of bad defaults, but it's very flexible and can be a uniquely nice experience once you get it configured in a way you like. It's mostly written in Lua and has responsive maintainers, so if you're a developer you can extend it even further.
It has great PDF support, including good reflow and note taking support (highlights and text notes). And export support to text/json/html/Readwise.io for those notes.
It also has the best UI I've seen to visualize the structure of a book you're reading.[2]
The biggest downside is that you have to do more file management of your ebooks, since it isn't hooked into a nice cloud like Kindle. I use Calibre for this, and set up an OPDS server for some basic cloud downloading.
You can also put KOReader on Android devices (or jail broken Kindles). Personally I'm not a fan though. It like every other open ePub reader I've tried also has limited to no support for ePub 3, so no vertical writing, no right to left page turns in manga, etc. I'd rather use Kobo's renderer than KOReader, better UI and better rendering IMO.

Is there an open issue for that feature gap in KOReader? I'm always curious whether it's just "we haven't gotten there yet" versus "we don't want to do that"
No. Those figures are pretty "standard". Neither AMD or Intel have "invented" an OOO processor. Those figures mean nothing. Are the standard "big" boxes in any modern processor. The key details are inside.
Is Snipd able to do audio transcription for private feeds? Private “podcasts” are my main way I listen to audio books. I tried Snipd last year and it seemed to struggle with private feeds at the time. I was sad, since it’s exactly what I’m looking for (especially if it ever gets Apple Watch support).
We do not yet have AI features for private feeds. But we do have it on the roadmap.
Depending on when you tested it last year, you were probably not even able to add your private feeds. In the meantime, you can add your private feeds and listen to them, just like any other podcast app. You can also create highlights, but without the transcript or any other AI features.
I've added your vote to this feature request to increase its priority.
