Maybe so. OLED comes with a risk, but I've run mine at 70-75% brightness with no issues. I probably drive mine ~2,500 hours per year, so if we make it 4 years that is a huge win in my book for something I stare at all day long.
Plus, coding at night on OLED just makes me want to write more code. It's great.
I made the switch on a new project and I don't regret it but it's still early days software despite the marketing. Concurrency control is fantastic, but it doesn't always work. I've woken up to see all threads occupied with a job that should be concurrency of 1.
I've also run into issues where a db connection pool is filled up and solid queue silently fails. No error or logs, just stops polling forever until manual restart. Far from ideal.
But, I can live with it. I am going for minimal maintenance, and the ability to run solid queue under puma inside rails on cloud run is just so easy. Having ~3 solid queue related issues a year is acceptable for my use case, but that doesn't mean it will be ok for others.
I spend a lot of time out of reception and starlink has been fantastic. So much so that I leave it on anytime I'm driving where I have cellular reception because it's just consistently good. I get ~100Mbps whether it's a forest service road, ATV trail, or on the highway through curvy mountain passes.
I'm on the 50GB plan so doubling for free is very nice, but it looks like they yanked the ability to optionally purchase additional high speed data for $1/GB. Maybe it's still there?
