  • Touchscreens Are Out, and Tactile Controls Are Back

    Jump

  • A big selling point for Android is that it isn't controlled by a single manufacturer (in contrast to Apple). Yet they all seemed to converge on the same design so the choices are quite limited.

  • I want my fucking buttons back. Not only easier to type on, but on-screen keyboards eat so much of the screen real estate. Give me a slide-out keyboard.

  • Most "SUVs" are actually crossovers. Which are just hatchbacks, wagons, and non-sliding door minivans. Take an Impreza hatchback and lift it 3 inches, and suddenly it's an "SUV."

    But yeah, sedans w/trunks are becoming a bit of a rarity.

  • Yay, I never left having physical controls for things like HVAC controls and volume.

    Touchscreens are great for context-sensitive controls, but less so for things that should be accessible at all times and usable without looking.

  • fall back

  • We even passed a bill where I live (Washington state), but Congress hasn't approved it so we're stuck. Wonder what would happen if we just did it anyway. What is the U.S. government going to do, send the cops after our state legislature?

  • Back on Standard Time

    Jump

  • I have a north-facing apartment, and the super-early sunset makes me sad.

  • Good way to send small messages between devices ?

    Jump

  • I use Beeper to aggregate messaging from various platforms and for easy availability of text messages on my PC. It has a specific "Note to self" section that I've found useful for messaging myself.

    At its core, Beeper is just a Matrix client with some pre-packaged bridges for common services (including SMS, MMS, RCS messages). You could probably do the same thing with an Element client.

  • They also keep taking away features, like removable storage (microSD) and headphone jacks. There's a few phones that have them, but it gets more difficult to find them as time goes on.

  • Lexar doubles up the NM790 series SSDs max capacity to 8TB — new drives spotted at retail for approx $1,000

    Jump

  • I have a "not Lexar" 8TB NVMe that I've had for almost 3 years with no trouble. Should I be worried? Or is Lexar just bad?

    Incidentally, looks like the price has barely come down on these since I bought.

  • Cognitive Biases

    Jump

  • Is there a "positivity bias" counterpart to "negativity bias"?

  • Half as Hot

    Jump

  • Reminds me of a time one of my friends was happy that it was going to warm up and said something like "it's going to be twice as warm tomorrow". It was going from maybe 20F to 40F or something.

    That led to an interesting discussion.

  • Generative AI Is Coming To Your Home Appliances

    Jump

  • I'm not personally interested in the tech, but I could see it being relevant if your refrigerator is connected to the internet and you are at the store. You could find out whether to buy more or not.

  • Completely foreseeable response to a greedy mtx cashgrab on a single-player game.
