I see same behavior on my 8.

If they choose to release 50 models, they need to factor in the cost to maintain security on 50 models.

>The game is optimized to run smoothly on low-end devices

And

>Only works on apple devices.

These 2 items seem at odds with each other. Apple doesn't really make low end devices. Sounds like a cool game, I'll try it if you ever port it.

Good point! what I meant is that the engine is lightweight and runs well even on older hardware. And yes, I’m working on Android and a Web version so more people can try it.

Thanks for the note!

Digging weeds and their roots up one by one by hand out of cracks in concrete/asphalt is much slower than spraying. Also much more physically challenging, which is a metric I didn't care about when young and able bodies but nowadays is very relevant to me. I'm not saying roundup is good, but there are plenty of reasons for it to be appealing. I haven't tried the boiling water method yet, it seems like it'd be easier than digging but harder than spraying, unless perhaps one has a mobile, outdoor source of boiling water.

What is the point of removing weeds from those cracks in the first place? Do they cause some kind of physical harm to creatures or objects that move on that concrete or asphalt surface?

The concrete itself can be damaged further over time by expanding root networks / growth.

Cheating is the malicious interpretation, same way steroids are considered cheating in other competitions. (college admission is a competition, there are fixed number of seats and you cheating to get a seat hurts someone else.)

Similarly getting extra time on a test sure as heck would have improved my scores in many cases.

And ADHD meds seem like they would be helpful for studying.. How and where do we draw the line who gets and needs additional support?

I'm pretty sure you don't want Teams to be the winner of consolidation. Unfortunately it's for the advantage of being included for free for ever big company using M365. We are fighting a losing battle to keep Slack.

What specific technical thing about this makes it appealing? The marketing speak sounds nice but is there anything you're seeing here that you wouldn't get in a MacBook or Thinkpad equivalently priced? There is not much detail.

I’m not endorsing the device. It might be mediocre, and the company might be too. What I like is the direction. Most of the criticism in this thread focuses on the marketing, but that’s actually the part I find interesting: it’s explicitly aimed at Linux-centric desktop users without pretending to be “just like Windows” or trying to hide the fact that it’s Linux.

Plenty of people are frustrated with the current Windows ecosystem (Microsoft account login really bothers me for a lot of reasons). The market usually responds with one of two things: a Windows laptop you can convert into a Linux machine, or a Linux machine that tries very hard not to act like one. This is at least purporting to be neither (maybe they are full of shit, who knows). It’s trying to sell a finished, opinionated product for power users on Linux. Even if this particular device ends up turning into the next juicero/Rabbit R100, I’m glad to see someone treating that segment as worth designing for.

So yeah computer vendors, go ahead and do this more I like the vibes here even if I have no intention on buying right now.

> "a Windows laptop you can convert into a Linux machine, or a Linux machine that tries very hard not to act like one"

You can buy computers with nothing installed on them if you want, and computer is computer (for the most part), so you can run whatever you want on it. I think the linux space is generally too fragmented into all the different distros to offer a "linux laptop", because people will wonder why it's not shipping with their favourite flavour of penguin

> You can buy computers with nothing installed on them if you want

There's nothing wrong with that approach, but this is exactly the opposite of what I am saying.

To clarify, when you buy a computer with nothing on it, you are actually buying a windows computer that had windows removed or opted-out of. It was not built with Linux in mind.

The philosophy does sound good but the implementation appears to be skin deep. It's just not enough.

At the moment, we (in the U.S. anyway) don't charge for tht true cost of operating roads and private cars, which makes transit look bad in comparison. If we want to make transit look reasonable, we need to stop pretending cars are so cheap.

Also, the US heavily subsidizes fossil fuels, including with military spending.

It actually costs a lot to do those things. Money is not the only important cost. Social cost and time cost are also important. If you eat all your meals at home alone, while your friends go out to restaurants, that's a cost. If you spend time cooking from scratch instead of using processed food, that's a cost.
