Just curious. Proton takes all of that effort out of the equation, plus I’m willing to bet there aren’t as many driver problems, if there are any at all.

Discrete video or no. That’s also fine, but a lot of vendors provide this option.

Yeah, but not as a user-serviceable module that can be replaced with minimal effort. I think you’re grossly oversimplifying this point.

Are you on Windows or Linux on the 16?

Apple doesn’t provide board-level schematics so that anyone with a good supplier and a steady hand with a soldering iron can fix their motherboard, though. You also can’t replace parts nearly as easily, even on older MacBooks. Swappable ports also help, so that if HDMI or displayport get replaced you can change to the new standard.

Accessing the RAM, wifi, and SSD are only 5 screws away, and they give you a screwdriver in the package.

Basically, Framework has provided so much information that you could practically build one from scratch yourself with enough determination and self-loathing.

I’m fairly confident that it’s a change in Flatpak itself rather than any one specific Flatpak, since all of my apps now use the same new screen sharing interface. Difference is that it actually works in those apps.

Screen sharing with Discord no longer works, but I think that’s from an update to Flatpak because it was also happening at the end of 39’s lifecycle.

It’s the final laptop in the same way that Theseus’s boat was the last one he ever bought. You can replace bits piecemeal, but at some point you’ll end up with enough leftovers for a whole new laptop.

That said, I have an Intel one and it’s a fantastic laptop. Also, not only are the motherboards capable of running on their own outside the laptop, but they’ve partnered with Cooler Master to make little cases for them so you can turn old mobos into mini PCs.

Yeah, that’s what I’m referring to. I’ve never successfully turned on hardware acceleration when running Windows guests, and I don’t think Gnome Boxes even exposes the option.

It’s got really good hardware graphics acceleration.

If 1000 satellites is all it takes to “erode the atmosphere” to a point where earth is uninhabitable, we’re already fucked a thousand times over.

To add on to what everyone else is saying, compared to the Apollo capsules, Starship is fucking HUGE. Apollo 11’s capsule was 10 feet tall by 13 feet in diameter. Starship is 180 feet tall not including the launch vehicle.

Edit to add: Mercury was literally just an ICBM with a dude strapped on top, with Saturn V being based on that design. We’re only now beginning to make designs that are actually made just for space travel.

I’m not OP. I’m just chiming in with info I gained from selling TVs for several years.

Yeah, but LCDs miss out on the ability to go greyscale to save even more power in emergencies. Due to the way LCD screens work, the same trick would likely increase the amount of power draw it incurs.

The battery life and black levels are always going to be better on an OLED, no matter what you do to the LCD. There’s no chance of backlight bleed on OLED screens, either.

I mean wifi tethering. Sure, I could set up Tasker to turn it on once it detects that I’m in the car, but I’d personally rather save myself the effort.

Yeah but one of the reasons to pay for Tidal is the sound quality, and bluetooth sounds objectively worse than streaming directly on the car. Also, how am I supposed to maintain a wifi connection while moving? I’m not about to tether my phone every time I get in the car.

Just so you know, you can do Spotify and Tidal now with premium connectivity, too. Tidal is basically the only reason I have it, because the speakers are good enough for the sound quality difference to be noticeable. I agree with the rest of your points, though.

What smells like copium in here?

YOU MEAN I HAVE TO PUT MY SHOES ON MY FEET MYSELF‽ UTTERLY UNUSABLE!

-Mr_Blott, probably

Yeah but at least our smugness isn’t based off 30-year-old information, unlike yours.
