Nowhere did OP say anything about a desktop. I thought they meant "what's the current laptop equivalent to a Thinkpad back in the day?" If they meant a desktop, they should have used the word desktop. "PC" is not exactly specific.

That's just about when it got a bit more watchable.

One of the first things I do on a new Samsung phone is disable Chrome and install Firefox. You've just saved me from ever buying a Redmi.

Some jerk company (like Google) cannot suddenly discontinue my entire reader with all my feeds, because its mine, on my server. But because it's a web app, I can use it from any device, unlike a local app. After Google killed reader, That was just too annoying. Self hosted since.

I really enjoyed Star Trek: Klingon, on PC back in the day. It was officer cultural sensitivity holodeck training for the officer exchange program. You had to make decisions appropriate to Klingon social customs. It was bundled with a Klingon language learning program with speech recognition tech. Very cool stuff for 1996 CD-ROM games.

Here I am, 9 days past the listed date, and my factory unlocked S22 Ultra just got the October security patch. sigh Unlocked model owners always left until last.

Thank you for sharing the information!

I'm sorry, but are you being this snotty for any other reason than to make yourself feel better for being rude?

Thanks for the info!

If you connect your phone to the car, can it spy on your Signal messages? I mean, they have to decrypt on your end for you to see them, right? Or has Signal taken specific steps to stop this?

 

This article over on Hack-A-Day seemed like it would appeal here. It discusses how the physical aspects of a cheap ballpoint pen are just less well suited to cursive writing as compared to a fountain pen. Enjoy!

 

I can't help but wonder if the benefits of e-ink are as good in the format of goggles/glasses. I'm skeptical, for sure, but it is an interesting form factor. Also a interesting decision that they work with your phone, so the glasses don't need to have much on board storage. Would anybody here use something like this? Definitely seems ultra-niche.

 

I'm joining multiple Reddit alternatives at the moment like a lot of other people. Just before Reddit went down this morning, I saw someone had posted an invite link on r/FountainPenCats to the Pendemic Discord server. I've never been a big Discord user, but I'm checking out all the things today, and thought maybe some of you might be as well. Here's the link: https://discord.gg/a5Bmrqd6
