Yeah you’re right, I misremembered

I would like it if it was subtle, maybe a few thin rgb lines around the main board like traces, and something similar on other components.

I hate the everything blaring random lights look, its like a kids attempt to draw attention, it works but when you look you wish you hadn’t.

Isn’t e/os build on graphene?

Dunno, not that professional engineering software supports

I’ve just ditched my win 10 partition for a mac mini purely to run some cad software. As a KDE user I find it hard to articulate my hatred for what the fuck is going on with macOS design philosophy.

Not having used win 11 since its first release, it’s funny how much of the above frustration I’m going through with the mac, both suck beyond suck now it seems. The base mac mini for £600 would be an amazing deal, if it was running Linux.

Requiring 50x the hardware no doubt

For some balance: the UK hate speech laws despite what the daily mail push have been applied relatively evenly with the intent of preventing violence which has been a problem in the UK in several cases where innocents were unfairly targeted then attacked.

I’m not really one way or the other regarding the BBC decision, I can see it both ways and the footage will be out there regardless of their choice. I personally support the message being free speech and for the public to make their judgement.

Re the police reviewing it. This can often happen with high profile stuff even if it’s to officially class it as free speech, so no one can say it was ignored and the were discriminated against. However if the police find it to be anything other than free speech based on current events, I would find that highly concerning. He didn’t say death to Jews, or Israel, it was specific to the IDF.

Don’t play stupid mobile ‘games’

The only ones worth playing have an upfront price and no in app transactions

As an (ex currently post child…) mountain biker my threshold for having good endurance or not was being able to ride at pace for hours without sitting down. It takes a lot of fitness to do, but I found when you train like that it comes fairly quickly.

I say that because riding standing I found let’s you put more power down and also makes using minimum suspension comfortable as you use your knees instead. You need to find what works re bars and stem though as you can fuck your back up in the wrong position. To ride xc or full sus bikes off the trails I had a second set of wheels with smooth road tyres. Anything but road tyres will dramatically increase your rolling resistance on tarmac.

Eh I don’t really see a necessary use case to get angry over it… Transfers over WiFi have been faster than USB on pretty much all phones for a while now, and way more convenient.

I just drop files into my phone with kde connect. It means I can even start a transfer and wonder off with the phone and the mesh network keeps it going

I doubt it’s some conspiracy, but it does still suck. I’m on my 3rd USB port on my fp4 because I use wired earphones. Replaceable USB port was my initial reason for buying a fair phone otherwise I’d likely be buying a new phone every year.

USB C is not up to that kind of use, and BT ear buds suck…

The transfer speed over USB on mine probably doesn’t even pass USB 2 speeds anyway and I’ve had flagship phones in the past that were even slower over a cable. I guess if that’s still the case then there’s probably a good engineering argument to reduce complexity.

I wish I could ditch stock android but my business bank app refuses to run on e/os and I assume I’d have the same problem with graphene.

e/os was otherwise soo much better, and the increase in performance and battery life was huge.

If the 10hz reading implementation is good I may consider upgrading my fp4. A better camera would be nice too but if they get the power saving if that screen right then I’m interested…

Otherwise my fp4 has everything thing I need a phone to be

A thicker phone would be great. All these manufacturers forgot at some point we actually need to hold these things with a human hand.

Having said that my fp4 is actually a pretty good thickness. They just screwed that up by rounding the the edge so much seemingly to reduce contact grip.

That was great, the first comparison that came to mind after reading it was they are both a game of russian roulette…

Waymo - you get one chamber loaded with a blank, might kill you if you get it.

Tesla - you get one empty chamber… And the gun is loaded by your worst enemy

Was this the first fully fuelled boom? It looked fucking enormous.

I remember seeing someone doing the calculations for this happening some time ago and it coming to a shockingly large amount on the usual TNT comparison. Though this is more like a mix between a traditional explosive and a fuel air bomb.

Bought a 5700xt on release for £400, ran that til last year when the 7900gre released in the UK. Can’t remember what I paid but it was a lot less than the flagship 7900 and I forsee lasting many years as I have no desire to go above 2K.

AMD GPUs have been pretty great value compared to nvidia recently as long as you’re not tying your self worth to your average FPS figures.

It’s the best.

Being able to communicate with apple users who are still clinging on to sms with a keyboard is great. I detest typing on touchscreens.

My first thought was someone trying to creatively communicate the hallucinogenic they’d taken, before I read the text.
