Yeah. It’s not that hard.

I just did with that.

Also what are you typing blindly where punctuation actually matters?

I can blindly type with an on screen keyboard, it’s not that hard. What’s wrong with your phone where taps aren’t registering? And poor text prediction would be the same on physical vs on screen KB.

My old Pantrch Duo would frequently ignore physical key presses where it tactically clicked, but failed to actually bottom out enough to register. And I have that issue all the time with mechanical keyboards where the tactile bump happens before the key actually gets registered. Not an issue for typing, but for gaming I do it often.

It’s stinky and smelly and smells bad.

IMO early digital cameras are the best. 640x480, no dynamic range, red eye galore.

CRD put it best:

Nothing is as eye pleasing as a cat photographed with a really bad camera and this thing is firing on no cylinders

SK 8xing production is impressive. I know open ai bought ~40% of microns memory production. So increasing production by only 20% is pretty low. But like you said they had horribly low (for them) ram prices for a few years so they’re just trying to avoid that.

Sk must be banking on Micron not matching the spike.

The atom is only gone in name. It’s now just “intel processor”. The N100 CPUs are in a ton of neat machines. And the E cores of Intel CPUs are just Atom cores.

Windows 8 also had to run on atom CPUs with dire CPU performance and even more dire memory configs. So even once it was booted it needed to be relatively slim and quick. I actually preferred it at the time because it was faster than 7.

I’m not, but unless I call the phone support I can’t get my windows to activate.

Yeah it took me a bit after 7 came out. But having all my excel windows in one group is way more efficent than two excel windows over here, one in the middle, and a 4th way off at the end of all my windows.

It’s a USB connected video adapter. Not USB C DP alt mode. USB USB.

At the best of times it’s solidly OK. At the worst of times it’s absolutely horrendous.

I had a few issues with 25H2 on release, but they’re largely fixed now.

24H2 and 25H2 are the same thing, it’s just enabling a few different changes. But things like the new obnoxiously ugly start menu have started showing on my 24H2 machines so I don’t really know what the difference is.

Exactly. I have tons of cheap (when new) laptops that still work perfectly. But that’s because I baby them. If I treated them like how I treat my ThinkPads or MacBooks they’d have been broken in a year or two. Plus who actually wants to type on a laptop that’s flexing more than the keys are moving?

Well if it’s anything like their previous models then it probably feels like it’s a toy. I remembered playing with a display model when I was thinking of buy it and was amazing by how flimsy it was.

On paper they seem like good laptops. But in practice?

That reminds me. I was working on 3d printing an attachment to launch bottle rockets (and possibly roman candles) off my drone. I should finish working on that.

Unironically the laundry detergent. Legos are cool for the 30 seconds you’re building them, then they just take up space. Plus they’re just the perfect item for me to feel absolutely terrible about giving away/throwing away.

Are you spending them on things you were already going to buy, or are you buying frivolous stuff?

You probably can, just nobody bothers to do it. My Subaru has installable apps. Hell older Hondas (and possibly current ones) just run android. You can even get to the regular android UI on them.

That’s nothing to do with android auto/car play and entirely down to the manufacturer of your car being an asshat.

Is it a Mazda? Mazda is one of the worst about this. I think they’ve gotten better in their latest cars, but that doesn’t fix the existing ones.

…no they can’t. Do you realize just how thick modern camera bumps are? Even not including the bump phones nowadays are thicker than phones 5 years ago.

The iPhone X was 7.7mm thick. The iPhone 17 pro excluding the bump is 8.7.

Phones 5 years ago have lightyears worse cameras than phones today.
