One cool thing about the Samsung s-pen is it can select any text on the screen (drag while holding the pen button)

They're still very much alive! The main change has been the glut of free file hosting and cloud drives which negate the need for torrents.

Asking for a M.2 slot idk but you're ignoring the entire thinkpad line here.

There's also a class of people who can just filter out all those distractions much better than many of us, and have a high tolerance for slowness.

They started monetizing it by paying people to write answers, so it's now full of blogspam.

I hear you. Hopefully with the Deck getting more popular, developers will be forced to ensure compatability.

A lot of your issues come from using a Google phone (Nexus/Pixel) rather than a different brand such as Samsung. Samsung can do external display mirror over USB, or let you use your external USB monitor as a second display (wirelessly

The Steam Deck is Linux and runs a large majority of games. You can do it on your laptop with Proton. It's amazing. Even weird stuff like Mass Effect Remastered (which requires EA Play client) works on Linux now.

Yeah you sound like someone who should not be using Windows in any way shape or form. The telemetry and lack of control? Try Linux out.

How robust is this watermark? I assume resizing and cropping won't remove it, but perhaps getting an AI to redraw it or shrinking and AI upscaling would.

There are ten choices, so getting the answer right 20% of the time is very plausible.

Oh it does that too! It hides the names of businesses so I can't click them!

I really wish I could be that organised.

I did, but the enforced boundary between work and home is very important to me.

People get really defensive about remote work I guess? It wasn't just walking, there was also social isolation and being excluded that made it unbearable. And no real boundary between work and home. If you're doing an hour driving

No I hadn't realised that. Thanks!

Idk I loved my hour of walking every day. My mental health tanked when I became full remote.

I worked for a company that used TSV for huge datasets. It was extremely efficient, far more so than any database.

You have to do a ridiculous amount of exercise compared to you know, just not eating another snickers bar.

Disposable e-vapes are planned to be banned literally next week... My region's water company has paid huge fines for dumping sewage, which are invested in improving natural water quality...

While AAA games do tend to be bloated with extra content, it is all optional. The main quests usually take only 10-20 hours. Also, the current trend is to make games more accessible and actually better for casual gamers. Most games now have

If you mean the framework, a) it's not out yet b) it's not 850usd in my country (try double that, after adding ram/disk/modules). But it is a very nice laptop for sure. The others are things like Razor Blade and ASUS Zep
