There are e-ink phones. They don't run regular Android though, with Google Play, just the open source version with some Chinese marketplace. I have followed one (now dead) e-ink phone on indiegogo (forgot the name, sorry), and they wro

All bigger programs I have seen that used literate programming were unreadable and I always wished they used something else when reading the source code. Maybe I saw bad examples though.

Well, what are you going to do. Not use Windows? Linux still barely works in 2022 (and if one distro will become really popular, with a big investment of money like Ubuntu did once, they will ad ads, like Ubuntu added Amazon), and MacOS w

It's also available on certain sites . Although I haven't figured out how to ...install the latest version, it seems more complex than the one before.

ChromeOS is basically just Chrome. Given that most of the time, I just run Chrome and Electron apps, it makes sense.

Windows LTSC is a secret escape hatch of sorts. But it’s basically impossible to buy for small numbers of computers legally. And when it’s possible, it’s crazy expensive. (no, those licenses on eBay are not legal.) Also the base Windows is

Yes, for a simple, singular query, like a search. It's not meant to be a longer (or more structured) input. There are "message boards" that hack around it and try to make it a text input, and it feels like that, a hack.

I switched from Google Sheet to Excel when I needed to actually do some work on phone. Google Sheets are surprisingly bad on phone. I wanted to "just" do drag-to-fill (or whatever is the name... that + thing that appears when you

Main problem of Gemini is that it's read-only, by design. The author of the protocol didn't want to add forms etc, as that adds complexity; but as a result, there is no way to write things. There are no discussions or a way to c

Yeah so in case of Tor, people use DDG which is the default. And DDG, being bad and handling SEO spam worse than Google, often returns wrong onion address. (Which happened to me several times.) And you cannot really check if it's the c

This is definitely not for me. In 2022, having LCD display, huge bars and just one camera, when Android phones give me for the same price much better display and cameras, not worth the money. But it's fine, if I was in the business of

not really though? Look at figma; look at stuff like Miro. Even Google Docs are getting better. Discord came out of nowhere and now owning its space. The one that has stagnated is GMail I guess; I think they have too much legacy stuff that

Honestly? It's Chrome (and, by extension, Electron) being relatively good as a "native platform" that killed "native apps" on Mac. (And I guess Windows/Linux too, I don't know.) Ironically Chrome got its s
