Interesting, do you know if that applies to the fruit colored models or the later white ones? I disassembled a white iBook G4 ages ago and it was a real mess to take apart.

Loss of the primary content creators is serious, more than I think most realize. Without active serious creators you end up with nothing but an endless feed of endlessly recycled memes. Reddit was already trending that direction anyway with

It sounds like you're maybe not using virtual desktops, in which case I would strongly suggest giving that a try. Moving windows between desktops is faster than switching to/from fullscreen and in many circumstances you can have j

It won't let you type, but you can interact with most inactive windows on macOS by holding down Command and left/right clicking. Very useful for selecting text in an inactive window and copying it without first bringing the window

Well, it is simplistic from a certain point of view. If we rewind to the mid-to-late 80s with the Lisa and original Mac, which do you think most users at that point would find more simple and natural: windows that act as analogues of phys

Based on seeing how most longtime Windows users use Windows. I rarely see tiling used, it’s almost always maximizing. Even on gigantic monitors and web pages with an 800px central column, they maximize. The Windows users I encounter IRL ten

I believe probably the issue with this is that there are only a tiny handful of devs with 3+ monitors hooked up who could develop a dock/taskbar with such features and test that it works as intended.

The idea behind macOS window management is to not manage windows at all, instead letting them exist at sizes that fit their content in whichever position they land on your desktop, stacking and overlapping like papers on a desk, letting rel

Windows-style snapping can also be extremely irritating with how easily accidental snap-proposals are triggered when moving around windows that you don't want snapped or maximized. I would say that when using Windows (or Linux DE wit

Silence is a big point for me. With the Deck right now if you don’t want to hear its fan you’re going to be running old titles with the SoC locked at a low TDP which is very limiting.

In addition to rent seeking and bureaucracy, attempts to expand ground infrastructure are plagued by obstructionism by the giant telecom incumbents, not only in the form of legalized monopolies for some areas, but also by such underhanded m

As someone who owns both a MacBook and a ThinkPad, while the construction of ThinkPads (at least "real" ThinkPads, not in-brand-only models) is solid they often leave something desired in terms of case flex. I'm comfortable h

I wonder if make and model of SSD factors in. Generally I've only purchased SSDs that have been proven reliable and don't try to cut costs by going for cheaper options with mystery meat controllers or cut rate NAND. As far as fail

It's something they started focusing more on I want to say some point in the early-mid 2000s. The innards of the PowerMac G4 towers and PowerBook/iBook G4s weren't very nice looking, and the latter were an absolute nightmare

They do, but it's uncommon. Having been using SSDs since at least 2011 or so, they've had a vastly better track record for me than HDDs have. In fact I have yet to see a single SSD of mine fail, whereas plenty of my HDDs have corr

In my experience the issue with Flutter apps is though they aren't too bad on Android, they have an odd off-putting feel to them on iOS, more than is typically visible with competing cross-platform UI frameworks.

It certainly feels that way. Scams and fraud grow more common and brazen by the day.

I won't deny that as a possibility, but the majority of my Reddit usage has been during its mobile-dominant era so it's not as if low effort mobile posts are unfamiliar.

I think there's some group who's always disliked mods, but I don't think that dislike is necessarily universal. Speaking personally I've had maybe one or two bad experiences of mods in the ~11 years I've used Reddit

Also, lurkers would have nothing to lurk around if it weren't for heavier posters, many of whom use third party apps to paper over the various papercuts of posting with the official site/client.

“Fun” is subjective. I love programming for example but most people would find it to be somewhere between dry and mind numbingly boring, which isn’t good or bad, it just is . Same for MMOs or sewing or chess or what have you.
