  • I didn't expect this to be something I would actually use but I was mildly excited to try it out just out of curiosity. Then it asked me to log in. Login to a fucking terminal emulator. I have no words.

  • I'm a classic example of an introvert "adopted" by my very extroverted friend. I just want to say that I'm very thankful for them dragging me out of my comfort zone once in a while. I would've missed out on a lot of great experiences without them.

    I often think how awesome it is that people are so different and how we can help each other by sharing our strengths.

  • I'm very excited for COSMIC!

  • I think OP is worried about keeping their charged phone on the charger just for this feature. I also heard that keeping devices with batteries connected to a charger for a long time is not good because it generates a lot of small charging cycles pushing the battery to 100% repeatedly. I'm actually curious whether that's true for the modern smartphones or not.

    FWIW my Pixel has an "adaptive charging" feature that slowly charges the phone to 90% overnight and then tops it to 100% just before an alarm. It seems to be aimed at reducing this exact effect so I wouldn't be surprised if there is something to it.

  • I was sure I'm getting baited when I clicked the link but it's one of the rare cases when it actually turned out not to be a clickbait.

    This feature literally found and isolated "important files" and now they are deleting those files. Just because it was never available in the US doesn't mean it's irrelevant.

  • Yeah, so basically Google invented a feature that finds your important files and deletes them. The future is here!

    Of course I'm exaggerating for humoristic effect but in all seriousness I think the whole action is extremely poorly executed. I would be surprised if there weren't some cases of people actually losing something important because of this.

  • Wait, so Google just moved around important users' files on their devices without being asked to do so. And now they decided to just delete those files together with the feature? This sounds pretty crazy, even for Google.

  • I see that Framework and System76 were already mentioned. I would add Slimbook and Tuxedo Computers to the list.

    I was just in a market for a Linux laptop and I really wanted a Framework but it's not available in my country so I settled on Slimbook Executive 14 instead. I have it for around a month now and I'm very satisfied.

  • Thanks!

    This was Thinkpad E14 Gen 2. It died not long after taking this photo though.
