We need to bring them back honestly. I want more useful offline tech.

... Look, I get it, this device was funded over Kickstarter, it's incredibly niche with small production runs and a lot of custom designed pieces, and it simply can't benefit from the economies of scale that devices from bigger co

What drew you to the Jelly Comb keyboard in particular over others? And what model of Onyx Boox do you use it with?

AlphaSmarts are certainly intriguing devices - but flawed in many ways. Most notably, all models' internal storage was non-persistent. If your batteries died, poof, everything gone. The LCDs simply do not lend themselves to the same am

And if that information is hosted in another state? Or even another country? The only possible way this could apply or make sense is if all your abortion resources are hosted on servers in Texas, they all get taken down by the state, and th

What's your point here? That corporations who don't have to worry about the costs of proprietary software can deploy such without concern?

Same. Even if I get an ad for a product that actually interests me, if it's interrupted my experience against my will, I will seek out their competitor to buy the same product lmao. "Okay, that's cool, I want this, but not fr

Really? A state law preventing abortion after 6 weeks will somehow restrict speech online about abortion... Sure.

The fact that we're no longer shocked and aghast at the idea of Microsoft pushing advertisements to the desktop - but rather that those ads have bugs in them - shows how far the Overton window has shifted. Boiling the frog.

The main reason I use PayPal is because they provide detailed records and invoices of online purchases in a single easy to see place, with simple options for disputing charges or getting refunds if I don't get what was purchased. It wo

This is awful behavior, and I'm not trying to diminish that in any way, but... Who sticks with the OEM software? One of the first things I do with any x86-based system is wipe the drive and install a fresh copy of Windows or a distro o

That's exactly the logic Amazon uses for their Fire tablets. You can get them cheaper if you agree to have ads baked into the lock screen at a firmware level.

I have a phone capable of 4K60, and I never use it, unless my goal is to fill up my phone's storage as quickly as possible. And I've seen reports that the M1 can handle RED RAW 4K footage with just 8G of RAM, and only stutters on

Oh, it's painfully obvious that it's intentional, and that's what makes it truly infuriating. I can tolerate a genuine mistake from a developer, no biggie, we're all human, yadda yadda, I * cannot* tolerate Zuckerborg c

If you're editing very high bitrate or high resolution video - or both. 16G is perfectly adequate for 1080p video around 30MB/s, which most people's video will be.

It looks cool, and that's the only nice thing you can possibly say about it.

I will say I find the inconsistency in whether a game will obey the physical Silent switch on iOS to be annoying at times. I'll know I have my volume turned up but oh, this game is being silent because Silent is on. At the very least

Developers stubbornly refusing to utilize the tools provided by the operating system because they think they can do it better (90% of the time they can't) is one of my greatest pet peeves. You should ONLY ever use your own engine for t

You would describe the way things are now as "working" and the way things were under Trump as not?
