  • Oh gawd, don't remind me. My mom already tried selling it and couldn't find anyone to buy it. Of course, she blames kids these days for not valuing her obviously valuable collection...

  • Does anyone know how JSR and Deno would do in this type of attack?

  • Hopefully the clients get much better. I convinced a few friends to get on Matrix last year... and... boy... it was a terrible experience. Everyone ended up going back to Discord and they probably won't trust another recommendation from me.

  • How much did you ask for?

  • Rule of owning

  • OK. I know I'm about to get blown the fuck up but... You will own nothing and be happy. But. Like. Unironically.

    I really don't think most people want to manage thousands of music files on their computer. Or hundreds of movie files. Or thousands of picture files. Or hundreds of video game files.

    There are definitely options for doing this, but people who go this route are usually tech elite nerds. Not your parents or grandparents. Not normies.

    (I self-host Navidrome, Jellyfin, Immich, etc.)

  • You know, I tried telling them this at Hertz, but they still called the cops on me! WTF! I gave them money, they gave me car. What's the problem officer?!?!?

  • In order to pay import duties, these crazy fuckers are expecting me to enter my bank logon details into their website. What. The. Fuck.

  • They maybe use Plaid to connect your bank? I still wouldn't do it though. Fuck Plaid. Fuck handing out creds. Find another way.

  • That's a great start! Taco Bell is probably the healthiest fast food. A power bowl is lettuce, tomatoes, beans, a little cheese, a little beef. Way better than greasy burger with oil drenched fries!

  • Framework 2880 x 1920 (new) display review

    Jump

  • It's all right otherwise. Not phenomenal, but not crap. The specs you can get with other laptops. The hardware feel isn't as good as a Dell XPS or an X1 Carbon. The expansion card stuff is kinda cool, but other laptops have ports too. I've never swapped out the cards.

    The main reason I bought this laptop is repairability. If that's not your main priority, then I probably wouldn't recommend this laptop.

    If you want to use this laptop with Linux and not spend time fixing hardware compatibility issues, then I definitely would not recommend this laptop. Definitely get a Dell XPS for a Linux laptop that Just Works.

  • Agreed! Not saying it's not a software issue. Of course the software is broken. Of course I wish it was updated.

    But, Framework seeing the landscape and picking hardware with known issues is a bad choice. They could offer lower DPI and eliminate entire pages of workarounds and half fixes.

    Yes, high DPI should work, but it doesn't everywhere. That's just the reality, I wish it wasn't.

  • Blurry and tiny apps come from Framework's poor choice of display. Other laptops don't have this problem.

    Yes, I'm aware of software-side issues, but it's still their fault for seeing the software issues and then picking a broken display anyway.

  • HiDPI has to be supported by all toolkits, desktops, and applications at this point. There are no excuses.

    I mean... yeah, I agree. Would you mind sending that email to the millions of devs around the world? Not sure if they're aware of this.

    I just want to be able to read my screen. 😭

  • If it meant I could actually see my apps because they're not blurry and not tiny. Then hell yeah! Luckily, it's not a choice between all the DPI and none of the DPI.

    • Dell XPS 13 - 1920X1200
    • Lemur Pro - 1920x1200
    • Thinkpad X11 - 1920 x 1200

    It's possible.

  • I stopped caring about British units in 1776! Metric all the way, baby! 🇺🇸 We decimalized their dumb ass currency and we need to finish the job with weights and measures! A vote for imperial units is a vote for red coats! Vote for me for President and I will liberate us from British tyranny! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🦅🦅🦅

  • It's possible! We can switch! I'm US born and raised and I voluntarily switched to metric in college. It took me maybe we few months to start building an intuition for Celsius, grams, liters, and meters. And that was with me in isolation. I would imagine it would be much faster if everyone else was also transitioning.

    Over the years, other people have asked me about this and I've been shocked at how many people don't realize most of the world uses metric. Someone asked why I was using "Mexico units" once... Also, I've met lots of people who think the US invented inches, pounds, etc, which is... uh... interesting. The arguments y'all are having here are way more advanced than what I've run into.

    For anyone who wants to voluntarily switch, I highly recommend not to convert between imperial and metric. Just read the metric number and that's it. The weather says it's 25c outside? Don't convert to F. Go outside, experience 25c. Over time you'll build an intuition. Smartphones and computers have made the switch easier these days.

    Of course, until we all switch you'll really end up being bilingual...
