Really? Are you in a particularly noisy 2.4GHz environment? I've only updated one of mine so far but it's been perfectly serviceable after.

I mean, are we surprised? Google's product expertise is in discontinuing products after all.

If you don't mind the extra latency that comes with color e-ink the Boox Nova Air C will do exactly what you want. They're the only color Play capable Android option at the moment. Personally I'm giving color e-ink another ge

That scene change seems like a missed opportunity to use a quiet bell/gong or other small audio cue. I feel your pain there though, I bought a new ereader this year and a goodly number of the books I've read since have had issues

We recently bought a brother aio to replace my mom's previous HP Deskjet aio, zero issues with it from phones, laptops, desktops, etc. I'd still recommend them in a heartbeat.

UBI would go a long way towards pulling the very poor up out of the cycle of "I'll take whichever bad choice is least bad right now because I'm desperate."

This seems vaguely familiar, I wonder where I've seen another dominant browser vendor engage in anticompetitive behaviour before?

Yeah, jxl support is a huge win for anyone working with large quantities of jpeg files; aka basically everyone now that we all have smartphones with cameras and jpeg is the default format. Jxl is a huge upgrade for simpler images as well,

The explanation is pretty plain: google controls the webp format, jxl competes with webp.

by arglebargle123 4y ago
There's not much to tinfoil hat about here, Google is killing jxl in favor of a format they control: webp.

Two things: Telegram hit that critical mass of users early on that ensures there are enough reasons to use telegram that new users sign up and stay, and the client itself is a solidly good user experience. Contrast that with something like

I've been pushing people to use Element (matrix) rather than Telegram whenever possible but Telegram has that critical mass and beats Element's usability by a mile.

Speaking of RimWorld - is the engine extensible enough to implement the dwarf fortress ruleset? That's the graphical upgrade I really want.

For that to be viable people need to A: not leave academia with 5-15y of debt as a matter of course and B: housing suitable for young families needs to, I don't know, actually exist where the decent jobs are. Until those changes happen

Well I certainly didn't have "Tumblr becomes culturally relevant in 2023 after adding federated content cross-compatibility with foss platforms" on my bingo card, but here we are I guess.

I've found that the correct answer for non-technical people is a Chromebook. They're the most bullet (or idiot, depending on how much you like them) proof option.

Yeah, you're probably right. When you start factoring in inattention and insufficient physical conditioning to control the bike (ebikes can weigh significantly more than a regular bicycle) it might even be lower.

It was 10 downloads per day from the website and then a further 10 from the telegram bot too.

Another commenter posted about this in a separate top level comment already but it's worth mentioning here as well since you mention speed. The people who routinely hit 25+mph on a regular road bike know how to handle one at those spee

I've used it for months and I still couldn't tell you exactly how it works. Open efforts like Mastodon desperately need simple infographics to explain the service to newcomers or you'll end up with a bunch of ex-twatter use

The obvious solution is to have the tesla tweet at the child to get out of the way, or at the local fire department that there's a bbq'd customer who needs assistance.

Re: reading: try KOReader. It was a straight upgrade from the reader app on my Boox device and I wouldn't switch back if you paid me. I only dip into the stock apps for note-taking now, all of my reading happens in KOReader; It took re

I've used AliExpress off and on since maybe 2015 without incident. I tend to avoid ordering things between November and mid February due to the western holiday shipping crunch followed by the Chinese new year. Other than that my experi
