Apple sometimes takes a day to publish them. Kinda annoying.

There is nothing of value in iOS 26. If your device has AI then there’s some things.

In fact I would argue it’s almost universally worse in almost every single way. I wholesale regret updating.

No

Namecheap has random number only xyz domains for like a dollar so I have one of those.

3rd party batteries are rarely dangerous. They usually just kinda suck. They lie about their capacity, they degrade quicker than OEM.

Your battery is at the point where I’d start to consider getting a replacement. Just know that if you sort by price low to high you could get a battery worse than your current one. But buying expensive doesn’t mean you’ll get a good one either. They’re kinda just hit or miss.

Sometimes people just unecesseraly stretch the content.

That’s what kills me the most. ADHD makes me want to go fast. But I think the tism makes me struggle to figure out wtf they’re saying. It’s a balancing act.

The OS was kinda buggy, but vista changed a lot with drivers so probably most of the issues vista had were drivers. I bought a laptop with vista on it in 08 and it was rock solid.

Yeah. It’s not that hard.

I just did with that.

Also what are you typing blindly where punctuation actually matters?

I can blindly type with an on screen keyboard, it’s not that hard. What’s wrong with your phone where taps aren’t registering? And poor text prediction would be the same on physical vs on screen KB.

My old Pantrch Duo would frequently ignore physical key presses where it tactically clicked, but failed to actually bottom out enough to register. And I have that issue all the time with mechanical keyboards where the tactile bump happens before the key actually gets registered. Not an issue for typing, but for gaming I do it often.

IMO early digital cameras are the best. 640x480, no dynamic range, red eye galore.

CRD put it best:

Nothing is as eye pleasing as a cat photographed with a really bad camera and this thing is firing on no cylinders

As expected, the i5-9500K doesn’t even exist, and despite recommending 12 GB of VRAM (video RAM), the publishers also recommended an RTX 3060 Ti, which strictly came with only 8 GB of VRAM. Not to mention the game also required 8 GB of VRAM at a minimum, but then also required a GTX 1660, which only has 6 GB of VRAM.

SK 8xing production is impressive. I know open ai bought ~40% of microns memory production. So increasing production by only 20% is pretty low. But like you said they had horribly low (for them) ram prices for a few years so they’re just trying to avoid that.

Sk must be banking on Micron not matching the spike.

Unless you live in a desert, or some other area where added humidity is a bonus then “swap coolers” are doing more harm than good.

Are there any other cases you can think of where a custom-printed item is better than the myriad of mass-produced plastic items?

None at all. 3D prints are almost always worse than injection moulded plastic. Only if you need a very specific custom thing. Or it’s just convenient/fun to make your own.

It’s a security thing to have that warning. You’re not supposed to be able to bypass it for a reason.

If you don’t have the warning you can just relock the bootloader, but updates probably won’t work.

The atom is only gone in name. It’s now just “intel processor”. The N100 CPUs are in a ton of neat machines. And the E cores of Intel CPUs are just Atom cores.

Windows 8 also had to run on atom CPUs with dire CPU performance and even more dire memory configs. So even once it was booted it needed to be relatively slim and quick. I actually preferred it at the time because it was faster than 7.

Relock the bootloader.

I’m not, but unless I call the phone support I can’t get my windows to activate.
