I am a touch typist and laptop keyboards are fine. I haven’t tried keyboards with weird curvatures but most desktop keyboards are too wide if you don’t have big hands.
I can see the first point about repairability but it’s not really something you can’t do without and is the price to pay for mobility (which is something that could be considered essential). If you use a laptop with full peripherals, it can act as a desktop when there is no space but you can’t do the opposite :p
A lot of things i thought were cute and nice like dolphines, ducks, cats (i saw one cat eat anothers new born), dogs (multiple cases of eating dead owners due to a variety of reasons starting from trying to wake em up to other malicious reasons), hamsters etc turned out to be wrong . Raccoons are the only thing i believe in...
If you’ve come across the short story Guts at some point, it’s apparently part of the book Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. I haven’t read the whole book so not sure what the other stories are like but this story is really trying to be both gross and fucked up.
I looked it up again when writing this comment and even though most reviews are negative they do make it sound pretty interesting. I’ve put it in a maaaybe list.
Not sure if I’d call Area X fucked up but if you liked it definitely take a look at Borne (same author). It mixes the weirdness of area x with bioengineering and much more relatable characters.
Yeah the second book was probably more disturbing, then the third went a bit off the rails. I should probably reread them at some point. I don’t remember what happened to Control but the Psychologist’s ending was pretty disturbing too.
When was “originally”? Lyric availability is the main reason I chose spotify over YouTube music. If it’s not included in the free plan then you can’t compare that and won’t pick spotify.
Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....
I use GrapheneOS ony phone and a Mac with the security options as optimized as possible. For most of my emailing etc, I use Tuta and Proton. There are instances however, where having a Google account is beneficial (some apps for example won’t download from Aurora store in anonymous mode)....
Last time I opened a new Google account ~2019 I noticed if you did it from some countries it didn’t ask for a phone number (even on a vpn). I remember Greece and Romania being two of them. It’s been a while since then but it’s worth a try. But you also had to receive an email within a few a hours otherwise it asked for a verification. This was all through trial and error so take it with a grain of salt of course.
I feel like I’m encountering weird little tics and problems with my android devices, and those of family and friends. Just simple things where settings don’t seem to be consistently applied, or the os switches something back repeatedly. For example, my apps are set to auto update, to use data as well as WiFi, etc, but every...
I don’t know if it’s increasingly. Auto update has never worked consistently for me on any android device. It also seems most people have an issue with at least one messaging app not getting notifications. It’s just with the changes in each version things break slightly differently every time.
I’ve been using VMware Player (free version) for a while now and it’s been working fine. Recently I switched to Wayland and VMware’s grab input behavior broke. The guest gets most keys correctly but Alt and Super are intercepted by the host. Clicking on the vm also gives me a remote desktop popup on the host prompting to...
If you don’t need many features it’s easier to quickly set up and create a vm than VirtualBox. Well until now anyway. I haven’t tried the other alternatives mentioned here, they might be better in that aspect too.
