Snap! The US only keyboard is a bit of a pain, and the trackpad sometimes glitches, but when travelling light this is excellent. https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/05/gadget-review-chuwi-miniboo...

How many times do we have to go through this? Humans invent a new technology and think it applies to everything! Imagine the brain as a complex series of clockwork mechanisms… Society can be modeled as a complex series of hydraulic tubes… C

People like reading. You could summarise all of Ender's Game in a couple of sentences but, guess what, that wouldn't be particularly pleasurable. Not everything has to by hyper-efficient. More importantly, not everything has to be

Yes. Everyone has a story about being stuck behind an irate American who can't understand why their currency isn't accepted abroad. I've seen it in the UK - when a tourist tried to leave a tip in dollars for a bemused waiter.

That's the same as MS Tag (dead). Anything which involves an online lookup is always going to suffer from a single-point-of-failure. QR Codes work even if the publisher shuts down.

I despair at some of the comments on posts like this. "Mozilla needs to attract new users!!" Mozilla proceeds to add new features which new users might like "No! Not like that" Like, what do you actually want? A browse
