Ladies, gentlemen, none of the above. We have come full circle. The mainframe + Terminal combination is back

Haha, love the Microsoft joke. Very accurate

Nice, the cheapest model with a 13th gen Intel starts at 779 USD, and the AMD variant starts at 799 USD. Still expensive, but a lot more affordable than the last time I had a look.

ELI5: They can now make the fluffy white plastic go back to liquid very well, and they don’t even need too much work for that.

TL;DR: Pyrolysis with a yield of 60 percent styrene monomers.

Is this the one with the competing standards? Are we having a meta meme now?

Such a fun phone, I absolutely love it. It does everything a modern mid to lower mid range phone does. But typing is heavy. I put a custom Thumbkey fork on it, and now it’s… okay :D

I guess, the browser is kind of the replacement for the OS in OP’s case, which is again, a nonfree OS/browser.

AFAIK macOS doesn’t care if you add another partition in diskutil and install Linux on that through the usual live ISO’s. But please make sure you:

• Don’t delete your main OS (make a Backup!)
• Install Linux with (U)EFI compatibility
• Don’t touch any recovery partitions
  • Don’t mess with the Mac’s EFI/ESP partition

is the author seriously complaining about 3 mm added thickness on one side of a 2 kilogram notebook, or am I missing the joke here?

Haven’t clicked mine in ages. Does it still work?

to be fair, the first colour picker isn’t too bad, it it?

Answering the question you meant to ask, blueray is a physica… just kidding.

LocalSend is basically like bluetooth file sharing over WiFi. Bluetooth, especially the fallback 2.0 is notoriously slow and short ranged. The situation got better with BLE, 5.0 and Long Range. Still, both devices need to speak BT. Ap*le’s iOS is well known to ignore BT file sharing capabilities while implementing own proprietary solutions. On desktop, the situation is still bad. I once tried to send a file between two Windows machines via BT, and it was a horrible user experience. LocalSend (and similar) fix this by implementing cross platform apps and using readily available API’s to share files with few clicks and reasonably high speed between a plethora of devices. I guess, if you don’t have the aforementioned problems, you won’t need LocalSend et al.

Really great software. Works like a charm most of the time, the apps are quite okay, sends files locally. The first low-barrier solution to share stuff between wildly different devices since e-mail.

AFAIK there is none.

That will be getting a problem in the future. People will start putting highly sensitive and confidential information into ChatGPT and the like. And of course they’ll use this data. Industrial espionage might get as easy as asking a common LLM for help with a specific problem.

more like intentionally installed malware but yes, 100 % this
