  • Amazon announces first Kindle ever with color screen, retailing for $279

  • I mean, in general it’s pretty neat. When I was 12 or 13 I had a kindle touch with 3G and since I didn’t have a phone or computer I used the kindle touch to read a lot on wikipedia (it didn’t work for everything, I think. Just a handful of selected sites). Also, it generally costs extra when you buy it, just not monthly.

  • Normal tablets don’t have e-Ink screens and for reading electrophoretic displays are vastly superior to LED/LCD screens.

  • Some Kindle devices come with a built-in „free“ cellular plan. Maybe it was that?

  • Second this. Airplane mode is on and books are sideloaded. However, if it hadn’t been a present, I‘d probably have gotten a Tolino (German/European e-reader brand that is identical with kobo) because they support epub directly (and yes I know the Kindle technically does that, too, now but wordwise n stuff only works if you convert them to kfx)

  • You‘re a step too far again though. The average newbie would insta-panic by the thought of using the terminal. Needing a command to install drivers or to update is already too hard.

    Arch based distros like Manjaro, endeavorOS or even SteamOS, for that matter are great (have used manjaro myself in the past until I settled for fedora/nobara) and the AUR can make acquiring software a lot easier. However, the moment something breaks, a newbie will be lost and the Arch Wiki won’t save someone who doesn’t know what to look for in the first place.

    If anything, my recommendation for absolute beginners (as long as their hardware isn’t state of the art or they want to game, primarily) would be Mint. It’s easy to set up, has a nifty (and graphical) driver installer, has a default DE that is close enough to windows as to not confuse someone who hasn’t used anything else in their life and also, it shares enough DNA with ubuntu that most tutorials out there work without having shit like snap in there.

  • Sure but it’s not a rarity that forum answers expect you to be very familiar with linux file structures and terminal commands. If you’re a beginner who runs into an issue (as beginners do), you oftentimes need to find a tutorial and then tutorials that explain the tutorial. It gets even worse if you’re not on a debian/ubuntu based distro (although, to be fair, if you’re a newbie, that’s sorta asking for trouble).

  • Cats love having affairs. My mum’s cats most certainly get some food and attention from a neighbour sometimes.

    But talking to the owners definitely can’t hurt.

  • What does work are anti flea drops you put on their neck, where they can’t reach. Lasts a month or so and kills fleas and ticks. My mum’s cats are outside a lot and they never have fleas or ticks, when my mum doesn’t forget putting the frontline drops on.

  • Yea. I like my MacBook and I like macOS (yes, I know, shame on me). But in a few years, when Apple eventually stops supporting it, I can just put Linux on it and keep using it (or give it to a relative who just needs a working computer). It’s good hardware and in true Apple fashion, it will probably outlast its software. I also have an old Core 2 Duo unibody macbook laying around and while it is possible to put the latest macOS on (thanks hackintosh community), Linux is a much better experience and the MacBook is sturdier and has a better trackpad and keyboard than most new laptops, even many that are much more expensive.

  • Tbh, I was kinda hoping for someone with better biology knowledge than me to correct me. Thanks.

  • Doesn’t matter which way you turn it, the result is the same. As you count it, your first hole is nostril to nostril. I count mouth to anus as hole one and then add the left and right nostrils as secondary and tertiary orifices. Having a nose ads two holes to the total count. If you had no nose, you‘d have one hole, if you only had a nose, you’d also only have one hole.

  • Nose is two. Your butt isn’t one. Or rather, your mouth and nostrils would be the entrance and your butt is the combined exit of those three holes. If you don’t count the nostrils, you only have one hole. A hole always goes through something, otherwise it’s just a cavity. And also, holes only count from one side. Your butt and mouth are the same hole, just from different ends.

  • No, since you have a nose. Topologically, people have 3 holes.
