  Hinge durability is the main concern.
  I would not buy in yet unless you plan to upgrade every ~2 years.
  Make sure the manufacturers warranty is solid.

  Software-wise, I’ve not had any issues whatsoever.

  I love it and would hate to go back. You have a normal sized phone that can make various otherwise awkward activities on small factor quite comfortable: note taking, film watching, reading, Internet in general.
  It is so good to be able to whip this out anytime, anywhere.

  It literally replaced 3 other devices for me that I used to drag around to cafes, work and when travelling.

  The concept is the same. You’re advertising your favourite band, they’re advertising their need for approval.
  I don’t know how the brands exploitation of their workers is in any way relevant to this.

  It’s the exact same thing, you just have different goals and values from the other group of people

  In case you’re familiar with Obsidian, there’s Quartz: quartz.jzhao.xyz/ Runs in docker too, practically zero config to start

  How does one self-host Obsidian? Does that just mean file sync? What am I missing?

  I’ve used windows since dos and have never once used wordpad in my entire life.
  For basic text, notepad is just fine. For anything fancy, wordpad isn’t good enough.
  I feel that it doesn’t have a place anywhere. It’s like the bizarre paint 3D they’ve recently discontinued.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They keep getting stick drift at insane rates (anecdotal evidence), which sony ensures is a great pain to get fixed, assuming you’re in warranty.
  Ive just replaced one stick in my friends ds5 with the hall effect type, which should outlast the rest of the controller and cost £1.50 (which I’m sure would be less wholesale).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluetooth 6.0 adds centimeter-level accuracy for device tracking — upgraded version also improves device pairing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, yes, depending on the signal strength and interference. Can’t have tiny, efficient, powerful, reliable and wireless all. There are gonna be compromises.

  Any decent earphones will offer different codec and encoding support for high quality, good connection, or best latency.
