Could have made that taskbar vertical. Screens are getting narrower and narrower, but now we have a status bar at the top and a task bar at the bottom, plus each window has a titlebar

On Android we have five year old games disappearing from Play Store, including games you’ve previously bought, because Google cannot be assed to support older Android versions.

An unexpected obstacle! I kinda assumed that everyone in technology community would use an Android phone with a dark theme and a Linux emulator app.

Nothing stops you. The app is open-source, so you can add T9 swipe typing yourself.

Because there still are 12-button numerical keyboard phones with T9 text input.

Is it sleep mode not waking up?

It’s hard to say until we have a working emulator. You don’t need CPU instructions translation, so it should not be 20X as the case with NES, however even with the same CPU architecture it takes 1.0 GHz host CPU to emulate 66 MHz machine, so it’s actually 15x multiplier.

PS5 emulation is a long ways off, because you generally need 2X faster processor to emulate any console processor.

PS5 has the same x86-64 CPU architecture as PC, but you still need 2X faster graphics card to emulate those fancy raytracing units.

“New users” as you describe them don’t even know that the mouse wheel can be clicked at all. The only thing to be fixed is consistency with Ctrl-C clipboard.

Middle click was standard initially in Unix world, then Microsoft Office came with it’s Ctrl-C, and users now expect every text editor to support Ctrl-C to copy (and not abort the active command like all terminals do).

Eh, Chinese manufacturers are also desperately trying to catch up with AI hype. In any case, we’ll see some new brands on the market, and it’s not a bad thing, and I would not spend my time worrying about giant rich corporations.
My actual worry is that once RAM prices go up, they won’t go down for quite some time. If we get another bubble after AI bubble pops, the prices may not decrease at all.

CURL got some kind of contract with several embedded hardware manufacturers, at least it’s financially stable.

My advice is to go to https://gsmarena.com/ and find a phone with 4nm octa-core chipset for $400. Who needs those four cameras, you’ll probably use those fisheye lens maybe three times in your phone’s lifetime. It’s better to buy a phone with some useful gimmick like 6000 mAh battery and have 1.5 day life on a single charge.

Android itself is fine, the problem is that you cannot modify it.
Non-Android Linux only sounds good in theory, in practice you’ll be doing phone calls from command line, and that’s not fun. Neither Ubuntu Phone nor Firefox mobile OS went anywhere, and Gnome right now has better touchscreen support than Ubuntu Phone ever had.

They already have it, just not an IDE.

I believe most of Arduino libraries are open-source, so they can simply fork it.

Your laptop is a cash counter.

It makes so much sense on a plane. If you lose attention and lean on the control stick, the plane will tilt the nose down and yank you back into the seat. If the direction was up, the plane would slam you into the stick and the plane would do infinite loops, especially if you black out.

I consider ‘based’ an opposite of ‘sour’ or ‘acidic’. That is, being alkaline and having high pH is considered socially desirable. Mixing based and sour personalities will naturally produce salt, that is, dried tears.

Cooking is a term for any time-consuming chemical reaction, which happens to include food preparation.

I have no chemistry-related explanation for rizz. Something to do with sparks?
