  • Really good, but I did have to remove the screen protector as I was getting line jitter with it on.

    Palm rejection is better than I expected but not as good as an iPad.

    I've been using a Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus. Pressure sensitivity and stuff works out of the box, no additional drivers needed or anything.

    Krita is excellent.

  • You're Being Lied To. The EV Market Hasn't 'Stalled'

  • I can't imagine a future of non-electric cars (assuming cars remain the dominate form of transportation in the US because we suck). They're so much better than ICE cars and it's not even close.

    I've owned a Spark EV and a Bolt EV, basically the cheapest EVs you can get, and they're two of the best cars I've ever driven. Driving a family member's brand new ICE Kia felt like going back 50 years. It's so slow, it makes so much noise, it feels like a boat, ugh.

    If I had twice the budget for a car, I'd get an Ioniq 5 or 6. If I had quadruple the budget, I'd get a Lucid. If I had half the budget, I'm going back to the street legal go-kart Spark EV. I just can't even consider ICE cars as options anymore after getting used to an EV.

  • Yeah this was the issue for a lot of the 2-in-1s I looked at. Lenovo, Dell, even Microsoft have some cool options, but they're insanely expensive by the time you spec them to be comparable to the V3.

  • I was just pointing out the state of things on an up-to-date distro like Fedora as many times a newer kernel fixes stuff like this and no one bothers to update old reviews. I was already aware of the link you provided (it's literally pinned to the top of the blog post I linked in my main post), but it's irrelevant when I'm talking about the out-of-the-box experience. I only tried the input-remapper fix because someone pointed it out and I wanted to confirm that worked for me.

    I didn't make this post to complain about issues or ask for solutions, I'm here looking for interesting ideas and questions about this super cool hardware. This thing's fucking awesome and I wanted to share.

  • I am super tempted to switch to KDE on this thing. KDE has always looked cool, but I'm too happy with Gnome on my main desktop to justify fully switching. This is seeming like a perfect opportunity for some variety...

  • My first job was in a grocery store deli, and let me tell you that is the worst job to have if your mental health sucks. My last few months there were spent hoping to get hit by a bus so I didn't have to go to work. My last two weeks were the worst two weeks of my life. The customers I dealt with were some of the meanest people I've ever interacted with, all over a $7 bag of gross fried chicken and pasta salad.

    This was a several years ago, I have since gotten a job in IT that doesn't make me want to die, but this reminded me of one of few funny stories from my time in the deli:

    Remember that They are incapable of reading signs in human languages.

    We had a Lemon Capellini salad available. Capellini. Big sign in front of it, can't miss it. Pronounced exactly how it looks. Capellini.

    More than half of the people who ordered it could not say that word. A lot of people would stumble through the first two syllables and give up. Some people would throw in some extra letters and create a new word on the spot. Most people avoided saying the word entirely ("lemon salad"). At least one person asked for "lemon speghetti," and I think I had two or three people ask me how it's pronounced.

    Capellini.

  • Why don’t you like Apple?

    Jump

  • I’m being hyperbolic with that last part, but there’s so much basic computer stuff that the iPad can’t do that it feels like Apple only expects this to be a device to watch Netflix on.

    I want to install VS Code (or a comparable IDE) and run/debug some Python scripts, can’t do it.

    I want to open a terminal and use basic utilities like ssh, curl, tar, yt-dlp, rclone, rsync, etc, can’t do it. I literally need to install a separate app that lets me ssh into a Linux box so I can do basic stuff there. I’m SOL if I need to work with any data on the iPad’s file system though.

    I want to install Godot and continue playing around with game development on the go, can’t do it.

    I want to install Steam and play some indie games, can't do it.

    Procreate is pretty good, but I’d rather use Krita.

    Which means despite the fact that I want to use it for more, all I do with my iPad Pro ("Pro," lmao) is watch movies and TV from my Jellyfin server, occasionally draw if I don't feel like sitting at my desk with a proper Wacom/Krita setup, and write my shopping list.

  • Their way or no way

    The one Apple product I still own is an iPad and I run into this constantly.

    • Support for network shares in the files app is barely functional at best ("Just use iCloud!")
    • Mouse support is still super limited ("Just use touch!")
    • You can't install applications from anywhere but the appstore ("sECuRIty")
    • You can't install a proper browser or browser extensions (I don't know even know what Apple's excuse for this one would be)
    • You can't disable or modify window tiling ("It's just like an iPhone, because fuck multitasking!")

    Apple sells the iPad as a computer replacement, but basically all its capable of is watching Netflix or basic note-taking. The longer I use this thing the more I want to buy some x86 tablet that I can just install Linux on instead.
