    Obsolete Amazon Kindles? Minnesota man loads them with books for Little Free Libraries (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Little Free Libraries are for more than printed reading materials. Users of the streetside stations give and receive all manner of non-reading merchandise, such as homemade trinkets, canned goods and garden seeds. This all occurs with the blessing of the nonprofit, St. Paul, Minnesota-based Little Free Library. So Abe Eyman of St. Paul had an idea: Why not outfit old Kindle-style e-book readers with dozens of books and give away the e-readers in Little Free Libraries? The timing for such a maneu

    Adapters, monitors, mouse: Key gear to go with your MacBook Neo (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Apple has a hit in its MacBook Neo, which at $699, is its most affordable laptop. And I meant to keep it affordable by kitting it out with bargain or refurbished accessories such as external displays — some found right here in the Twin Cities. Sometimes one external display will suffice. Fetch a cheap one at Repowered, on St. Paul’s Vandalia Avenue, where a small retail store offers recycled and refurbished computer products at a reduced cost. I found this bargain: Expand your horizons with OWC’

    The MacBook Neo is my new favorite Apple Mac. What do others think? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    The Neo’s cool color options — “citrus” (green), “blush” (pink), “indigo” (blue) and silver — are part of the appeal. The Neo’s low price comes with a few compromises. Its keyboard does not light up. Its speakers sound muddy. Memory tops out at a paltry 8 gigabytes. On-board storage tops out at a mere 512 gigs for $799. Some features might give prospective users pause, though they aren’t defects. For instance, the Neo uses an A18 processor, which is the same chip found in the iPhone 16, instead

    Buy Nothing Project: Members give and receive. No cash ever changes hands (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    ST. PAUL, Minn. — My tech-gadget giveaways have made me a neighborhood rockstar. The cardinal Buy Nothing rule: Everything is free. My Amazon Kindle Oasis e-book reader? It’s free. My Logitech MX Mechanical Keyboard? No charge. My Google Pixel tablet with companion speaker/charging dock? Es gratis. “I actually got a (high-tech) baby scale from you when I was pregnant,” Sacha Brown of St. Paul told me in a Facebook comment earlier this month, to jog my memory. “It came in handy because my son had

    More families in this city are using ‘cargo bikes’ to haul groceries and children (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Patrick Stephenson is, like many parents, in a rush to pick up his kids at summer camp at day’s end. What’s a bit different from the norm: He isn’t driving. He puts Iskra, 8, and Zosia, 6, on the back of his Tern GSD, a specialized bicycle commonly known as a cargo bike. The kids are the cargo in this scenario, once they’ve donned their helmets and perched in familiar form on the bike’s back bench. “So I load ’em up, unlock the bike and then we get on the road,” said Stephenson, of St. Paul, Min
