Re: Keyboard choices
If I can't easily use a keyboard for doing spreadsheet work, or even simple repetitive calculator work, it is worse than useless.
Worse than useless to you.
But it's not all about you.

Most cars these days are on subscription anyway, not just the options, the whole car. Leasing or PCP is the most popular way to drive a new car, outright purchases of new cars are a small minority.
So what’s the difference? A variation in the monthly payment based on what options are enabled?
Currently, you can load up options or go through higher spec versions on PCP because the cost is lost in the monthly payment and the offset of the resale value vs the final settlement value.
The article doesn’t say if the car buyer will set the options permanently for the term of the deal or if options can be added or removed during the term. If the former then there is no difference to the standard PCP/lease buyer unless they want to pay the final settlement to keep the car (rare occurrence).
Used buyers are more affected.
Are you being tongue in cheek or do you genuinely not understand that air con is useful for more things than just cooling a car interior?
It is most useful right through the winter, especially on chilly mornings. This is the kind of discussion I have have to have with my grandparents.
2 year warranty is for defects present at the time of manufacture, like those dodgy keyboard a while back.
If there is a unique case of a component failure after 370 days, you are going to have your work cut out proving it was a fault present when the product was manufactured.
I didn’t complain about MS licensing, just pointed out a detail in response to a comparison between this software and RDP. I find It’s actually really easy to get along with 2 sessions,
Microsoft developed RDP from T128 protocol which came from Data Connection Limited of London, who became Metaswitch a long time ago. More recently Microsoft bought Metaswitch.
Personally I've used a lot of IDEs and Editors. Never actually settling because there's always something not quite right, from a bloaty nightmare of Eclipse right through to simple text editor and shell script build.
When I tried VSC I first thought it was awkward, until I found the right extensions, and I haven't looked back, it's ideal for me. Cross platform, relatively lightweight, not especially associated with a particular language and its 3p extension options are seemingly endless.
And I'm not alone in finding this, which leads to the availability of loads of tutorials in how to sites and videos that are standardised in this one environment. Which makes my communication easier too.
I know there is an underlying bias in some people because it's associated with Microsoft but objectively, for me and a lot of other people it has been the best thing to happen to our development situation for years.
I would be interested myself, but the way this is being done is a bit unnerving. I expect it will be US keyboard layout only.
I have a RISC V SBC and it’s fun to mess with but the Linux support is all a bit ropey, qemu on my existing laptop could have provided for my requirements just as well.
I’m way, I’ll keep watching for more information.
I put Windows 11 on one laptop out of curiosity, it is stable and lean as you say and the laptop isn't even qualified hardware, I had to use the hack.
Some less mainstream device drivers don't work with it, but that's the vendor of the device being the problem (yes you Yaesu).
I have a RISC V sbc. It’s good to try out, but it’s not ready in terms of using in projects unless you are prepared to spend the extra time getting all the software working reliably, because it’s all a bit flakey still. For any new project I need to get on with I will still choose established devices with solid support and community.
RISC V will come but as you say yourself, it’s still distant.
Having seen quite a lot of General Elections come and go, I have found it to be one of the truest things ever.
I learned about the stupidity of idealism a long time ago.
They are different in what they promise, but they are all the same in the constraints that they face when they achieve office. And despite how they try and present themselves, they are all the same self-serving sociopathic narcissists.
This should tell us about the angle of impact, as high energy craters tend to be round even when the impact is at very oblique angles. An object with a mass at each end, or a rocket booster engine instantaneously separated from its tank section. 16 metres base, simple geometry am very amused and nostalgic how the articles gives us the dimensions in yards.
Anyone here go access to iSALE and a spare week to set up a sim?
I’ll be watching this closely as I love working outside. My current arrangement is to use a Boox 13.3 inch e reader in HDMI mode. It works but it is a rats nest of cables.
A purpose built laptop with a e paper screen is a dream I never thought would come true because the market is so niche. I don’t even need video playback. Fingers crossed. Only 1241 responders on a 50,000 target market survey, I won’t get my hopes up.
Yes, when loading the office lift in the morning, we politely hold the doors for anyone approaching. Unless it’s the sweat soaked cyclist, nobody wants to stand next to him so we pretend we haven’t seen him and let the doors close.
If you see him waiting by the lift, take the stairs.
Yes, the current state of EV technology has room for improvement, it is in its early stage but as a bridge to the future it should be much better in time..
But there isn’t much further to go with improving the impact of the ICE, particularly when you sharing a high sided urban street with hundreds of foot-born air breathers.
Happy to read about this. I’ve been using RISC OS on a Raspberry PI 400, as the Direct version comes with useful software bundled, which it was necessary to pay for before. I use it when I want to do distraction free writing, but I also like the nostalgic charm.
Long may it continue to develop with the SMP etc, I wish I had the time and chops to help.
