Appliances have terrible design so often that I wonder if its intentional somehow. My parents bought brand new Jenn-Air appliances a few years ago, and the awful LCD menu takes like ≥5 taps (on a bad resistive touchscreen) to do anything, including start the microwave. Their 1994 midrange GE microwave/oven was more usable than luxury appliances from 2015

With the M1 as-is, yes. However, it's entirely possible that future M1X or the like will keep RAM separate.

> still pay humans to DJ that know more about music then, me with good enough programming skills that even if they play a song I don’t really care about, it is played in a context where I don’t mind listening to it.

Sure, and that's what Spotify IS doing, only they can do it for literally any song/artist/genre, instead of just the mainstream ones. If the RIAA wants to give me some melancholy lofi during my melancholy lofi listening, I don't really mind. I don't have to sit through an Imagine Dragons song, which is the radio alternative

A music experience where you listen to music industry's preferences instead? That's a step down, even from not curating your spotify preferences at all.

Likely depends on region. I never experienced queues as a paid user in the midwest.

I played through 40 hours of Cyberpunk and I'm about out of content worth doing. Geforce Now is great, but it has a caveat that make it dicey: ≤1080p only, and the window it creates cannot be resized. You're stuck with stretched 1080 if you're on a larger monitor (though it at least preserves aspect ratio when stretching).

Graphics are excellent, I was running on Ultra RTX (remember, 1080p) in most of the city and getting 50 fps, and latency was around 20-30ms. For how most games play, it wasn't really noticeable. $5 a month is a great deal, though I do wonder how Stadia stacks up. I certainly could have used the better resolution.

It also works on iPad/iPhone and Android decently, if you want to play anywhere. I didn't have any issues trying my iPad, though it appears you're stuck with controller input on that.

Seconding iA Writer. I especially enjoy the focus and editing modes.

You can get a pretty good idea from power usage, storage, and internet usage. Unless there's multiple hidden revolutionary breakthroughs in speech transcription or compression, nothing unsavory is happening at scale.

I had been getting frustrated with my Oneplus and upgrade to an S10, and every once in awhile I wish that I hadn't. It's death by a thousand cuts, from engineers and management who have no respect for the user. Off the top of my head, within the past week, I've had:

* The wifi slows down to <1mbps every morning. Restarting wifi fixes this. * The entire bixby button. It can finally be remapped, but occasional double taps (like using volume in the dark) will still open it. * The weather 'Current temperature' widget updates every two days. Current temperature. Current. Two days. * Random notifications to sign up for Samsung services that I don't want. You cannot swipe them away. You have to open the app and decline their EULA to get rid of it. * Disappearing notifications * Needing to reboot every week, or getting slowdowns * Only two years of updates (an entire android problem)

Obviously all of these problems can be fixed, and many aren't exclusive to samsung, but dealing with all of them continuously is just grating. I had been planning to buy a Samsung Frame TV before I heard all this stuff about their ads.

> What I'm saying is for young people the opportunities for gig are relatively the same compared to 1991, except its in the different form.

You've explicitly named lotteries and acted as if they're the same as actual gig employment. I have several instagram influencer friends, and a few who make youtube videos on the side. It's their dream to go pro. You want to know their collective income, from a pool of about 10 people, who have been working at this for over a year? It's under $100. That's not a gig, that's a lottery that costs time and energy.

If you want to talk gigs, talk about Wag or Uber. Which, are also definitely not the same gigs that the article was talking about.

Do we have any idea how long that light would last, and how long it would take to get to full brightness?

The phone seems to be largely what everyone expected, though the ability to change lighting during post processing looks like an interesting feature.

Honestly, the thing that stood out the most on this page was that they were using Quibi to show off the screen. Paid product placement?

Contrary viewpoint: I actually really enjoy Apple's chiclet keyswitches, and I think my dream keyboard is a wireless chiclet Ergodox.

When an app is uploaded to the app store, it is compiled for every different device separately. You likely have a higher resolution phone/device than the OP, so there's more image data on your version

This mirrors my experience, FreeCAD is practically new user hostile and horrifically buggy. I'm very inexperienced and had really only used Autodesk Inventor and Fusion360 previously, but FreeCAD was like moving from modern Photoshop to an early version of Gimp

Call of Duty Warzone is free, the referenced stat was for last years COD title.

As somebody who really enjoys the enter key position, I've found I struggle to go back to standard layouts. Having a thumb cluster with more important keys makes far more sense than having thumbs that effectively only press spacebar or cmd/super. The keyboard wasn't designed with programmers in mind, or web browsers. Ergonomically, moving a few keys around makes sense, even at the expense of a bit of muscle memory.

For what it's worth, you'll eventually have complete muscle memory and be able to switch back and forth without even thinking. It's liberating to try out different layouts and see what ends up making sense for you over time.

Care to share it? The one I have will work for a few switches, then both Windows/Mac will eventually stop recognizing the port its connected to until a reboot.

It's less of a literal concept and more of a figurative one. The factory floor would certainly be fully lit.

If you'd prefer to think of it as 'X company will give you 40 more minutes of leisure per day' or however much you cook, it's probably the closest financial approximation you can get.

Another way to calculate it would be to try and figure out what you would pay for another 40 minutes in a day, but that starts getting very subjective very quickly.
