   I prefer PC gaming, but I can see the value of a system that works out of the box with fixed specs that the game developer has to take under account to ensure a playable experience.

   I've encountered some games where the default controller was downright broken and horrible. I'd expect the game developer to provide an good default controller layout of the box, as that's what I'd expect from a console

   Why spend more money on mobile data when I can cache as much data as possible? I have a complete archive of Wikipedia (Kiwix EN all maxi) I can query from anywhere in the world, I have Organic Maps with as many maps segments I might need, I

   I buy my games DRM-free as much as possible. It means I'm mostly buying old games, but that's alright for me.

   Agreed. Your not supposed to even touch your smartphone while driving, how is operating your car touchscreen-based head unit any safer?! Dials and buttons provides a tactile feedback that allows you to keep focus on the road and can be oper

   I still use it once in a while when I don't want to bother converting non-base10 units, like to know the date in 90 days, or how many hours in x days, etc.

   And Signal forces you to use your phone number as your identifier, which can be traced relatively easily to a person or at least a geographical position by the authorities. The content of the message might be encrypted, but metadata can pro

   You can likely recoup the initial cost somewhat quickly with that kind of hardware though.

    Personally I'd be okay of the paywalled content was labelled and could be filtered if desired. Quality journalism deserves to be monetized, and it wouldn't be fair to outright forbid links to those, but a bit of transparency when

    I think they're withholding features for the next iteration because there's no incentive to them to release a device with all the bells and whistles unless competition pushes them to. There's more money to be made like that.

    I retrofitted a WWVB clock movement in my kitchen clock. It's quite nice not having to set it up when changing the battery or when DST shows up.

    Using the redesign while logged out is an abysmal experience, you can't even read all the comments. I get they want users to create an account and engage, but putting content behind a login screen as an incentive is lame.

    Pi Imager has some nice Raspbian-specific advanced features hidden behind a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+X), which can be useful if you plan on deploying a headless system. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi

    Just in case you're unaware, Onyx is well-known for violating the GPL license and not releasing their source code. Something to consider.

    They're also well-positioned and pushed the eInk based note-taking line of products ahead of what we currently had. I certainly do hope they remain a viable business and keep iterating.
