For me the downside is the precedent it sets. Yes, most of us agree getting rid of TikTok is a good thing, but how long until they start banning other sites “for the children”? How long until they target federated sites they can’t control “for the children”?

To top it off, it doesn’t solve the data harvesting problem their so scared of with TikTok. They only care about that one because the data is going to China. Instagram and others can stay because they are American companies spying on citizens.

The recent macbooks are heading back in the right direction.

I think a lot of the complants come from wanting a portable computer/setup, and having a hub or a bunch of adapters takes away the portability.

I think the ideal I/O for me would be;

• Power
• 4x USBc (displayport, high speed, etc.)
• 1x USBA (flash drives are still mostly A, and if you have a wireless USB mouse, not needing an adapter or dealing with bluetooth is great)
• 3.5 headphone/mic combo jack
• Ethernet
• HDMI, at least until more monitors have USBC inputs, although having an adapter cable isn’t too bad.

This is where I like framework approach with the customizable IO, but I think they need to shrink the blocks to give 6-8 ports. 4 is simply not enough, with one used up for power.

The one with the lightning connector that none of their new devices have and there’s a million 3rd party options for old phones?

Gee what a surprise they don’t want to make them anymore!!! /s

Don’t over think it, call is the Augmented Reality Sunlight Absorption Headset with AI.

I know their article is bogus, but I could see some one trying claiming this…

“Omg this peanut butter didn’t say it contained peanut butter, so I thought it was safe for little Billy. Now he’s dead and its all their fault for not labeling the peanut butter properly”

the 3rd road; Be awkward by making random noises.

Linux … you guys make money spying?

Probably 10 minutes, but by that point they had to double down for the shareholders and as long as everyone copied, they were good.

As someone who needs GPS a lot for work, having it on the large display is very nice. I think the sweet spot is around 7 inches; big enough for maps, but leave enough space for everything else.

The best is when they display the “next step” right on the dash. Too bad my work vehicle doesn’t do that.

Happens to me all the time too, I’ll open it via the notification and it just won’t show up.

Or I’ll delete an email about 5 time until its finally gone.

So they are replacing windows mail with Microsoft outlook, which was replaced by windows mail years ago (well not really 100% true, its fun to think of it that way)

Although, to be fair, maintaining two mail clients is pretty stupid.

If they can stop pushing all the separate half baked “new”/"beta/“work” versions of mail and teams, and just update them so everyone’s on the same garbage apps, that would be great.

Its a similar problem with Proton for me. Proton doesn’t even let you sync to 3rd party cal app on the free tier.

If you’re going to paywall basic functionality, that just prevents me from trying it for a while and eventually become so tied to it, it’s difficult to break free. Google had the right plan from the get-go.

That lawsuit could hold up in court, and I wouldn’t be mad. Fuck MS

Same, oddly enough the app name and icon didn’t change for me. Still K-9 in app settings too.

Have you looked into GL.inet’s offerings? They use openwrt as their base and build off it.

Many are mesh capable and have a USB for easy network storage.

Yoi jist don’t inderstand modern artucles?

I remember trying to convince a book sub that “two weeks” is not enough time to stop putting everything behind a spoiler tag/spoiler free titles.

Their argument “don’t come here and you won’t be spoiled”

Meanwhile, Reddit is like hey you want to read this random post from a sub you unsubscribed from last month when the new book came out? its called “thoughts on Wally-Woo’s death”

Perhaps, but for the price of those flat non-rgb or mechanical things they should either shine my shoes or provide some kind of utility, such as a headphone jack.

Or on the keyboard?
