- Good battery life
- Good UI, no bloat apps
- 3.5 mm audio jack (so far, essential. I won't buy any device without it)
- Low weight
- Resistance to drops and impacts
- Availability of slide-out physical keyboards preferred.

Game studios spend increasingly more time and resources by providing extremely complex graphics that require a discrete GPU, but are unplayable on PCs with integrated GPUs. They spend more, while locking out a vast source of potential revenue.

If your latest game requires a dual RTX 9000 with a liquid nitrogen cooling system and 3 kW of power usage for the highest settings, be my guest, but do not lock out potential users of your game at the lower end. In doing so, you're saying to millions of would-be gamers "I don't need/want your money".

I'd really love to know how they will ensure that their product is free from trans fats.

Buy and install a single game and you'll download more than 40GB. Didn't BG3 break 100GB on its install?

40 GB is too low an estimate. Newer games are hugely bloated. RDR2 with all DLC is over 100GB too. AC:Origins was originally 45 GB, but now an "update" puts it on 70 GB territory. AC: Valhalla, Borderlands 3, Death Stranding, Far Cry 6 (170 GB), Watch Dogs: Legion, The Last of Us (part I)... all of them are extremely bloated. Downlad a few of them and you're toast under T-Mobile's plan.

I think grandparent refers to bottom, which is a similar system monitor for the terminal which is indeed written in Rust.

So this is a text-based social network with absolutely no web/desktop access, and they wonder why they are losing users? Seriously, what they could expect??

Typing on a mobile tactile keyboard is excruciatingly awful. As long as they don't provide a consistent desktop website from which the user could navigate and type threads, they will keep losing users.

I really don't understand the WHO here. We're not talking about saccharin or cyclamate, we're talking about aspartame! Its formula is rather straightforward: a methyl ester of an aspartate-phenylalanine dipeptide. In acid medium (for example, human stomach) it is hydrolyized to methanol and the two individual aminoacids.

And it has some good drawbacks. It's poison to those with phenylketonuria. And, it's hydrolyzed to methanol, which again is incredibly toxic. So it would be toxic, especially in high quantities... but carcinogenic? Then we would stop eating proteins, because phenylalanine and aspartate are carcinogenic? Doesn't really make any sense to me.

Anyone who claims that aspartame is linked to cancer should offer at least a plausuble explanation of its alleged carcinogenicity.

Sometimes email vetted by the lawyers is the better way to go.

Indeed. It's a horrible move, no doubt, but many executive officers are such narcissists/sociopaths that this awful procedure is better.

There are ways to do much, much worse. The CEO could pull a Vishal Garg, for example.

What could possibly go wrong??

By the way, we were noticing some drops in rainfall pH, we don't know why would that be...?

TFA said "old-school Linux". Nuff said.

If you want old school Linux, just use Slackware. Right now, the development version (current) has kernel 6.1.5, and you can have state of the art (Plasma 5.26.5) or spartan (fvwm 2.7.0, twm 1.0.12) desktops/window managers. And no systemd. This is the closest thing to a classic Unix setup.

The article chart is telling but not the whole picture. The study is limited to the U.S., but keep in mind that for the rest of the world WhatsApp (which appear in the study but with a very low share) is extremeley huge for both adults and teens. Even more, in many parts of the world it's the only Internet many people would ever have, because carriers offer WhatsApp access for free.

Really, the global reach WhatsApp has been able to achieve is difficult to fathom for a North American, but it's massive.

Numpads are a waste of space. They stick out right where you want your mouse making the keyboard huge. They're stupid.

Speak for yourself. I work as a (certified) translator. Translating stuff such as school transcripts and balance sheets quickly disabuse one of ideas such as yours. Keypads could be, and can be, essential. That's wy even laptops (bigger ones) began carrying them, even. Celebrating that keyboards now tend to be without them is like celbrating Apple for ditching the earphone jack in their cell phones.

I wanted to dump the numpad since the 80's but it wasn't until early 00's that I was finally able to get a good quality board without the idiotic numpad.

Since the 80's, huh? Why didn't you get a C-64 or Apple II (most models, anyway)...?
