Porque no los dos?

I love that there’s a relevant Posy video that is only 22hrs old

Vista wasn’t that bad. The dodgy selling it on computers that couldn’t handle it was an issue (much like they still do with selling laptops with only 32gb storage).

I still think it was one of the nicest looking - black taskbar with the start button sticking up, sidebar widgets, aero glass etc

Why was it seen as a misstep?
I have memories of ramps, black z cars and a hotdog mission…

I think so, it doesn’t look like any device from here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_(PDA).

The logo is from the first palms, but it’s way too curvy

Everyday, big thing in schools.

Touch screens?

Don’t forget dishwashers!

There’s other ways - write it into the conditions of loan that it’s not the school’s responsibility to monitor student use when at home.

There are solutions that allow monitoring only on campus - both the monitoring person and the student need to be on-site for the software to contact a licensing server. No server contact=no monitoring.
And never bring ‘AI’ into it.

Like doing homework in your room? Where now the monitor can turn on your webcam without you knowing and watch you in your personal space?

OK so that’s nuts they installed a private ‘AI’ monitoring software that they have no oversight or control over. From the article, they can’t even see what it flags as inappropriate - it just flags and deletes.
A school admin should never hand over that much control!

This is so frustrating when trouble shooting - trying to re-find where that one settings page was because you opened another.
It’s not a phone - it’s a windowing desktop environment. Allow multiple instances!

I went looking for the implied ‘A’ language but couldn’t find it. Did find this though:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages

Surprising how many single letter names there are.

Near field communication - it’s an antenna that sits inside the back case and let’s your phone interact with payment terminals and the like that support it.

You can add your tap and pay card to your phone and tap your phone instead.

☹️ no nfc

Possibly OpenTTD?

Same developer but different games, from what I can tell he released Transport Tycoon first, then Locomotion which had ?better graphics and less complexity?

I’ll have to try openloco, I’ve only ever played OpenTTD and it’s pretty good

You should use Wayland, not x

I don’t really understand how they consistently manage to screw things up. And they always say that the features are coming, but they never do.

I’m still bitter over Inbox.

I used to be excited about new things from Google. Tried to get into every beta, downloaded the newest released apps etc. But not anymore.

I just read about tasks being removed from Google Keep. Then the feature removal from nest hubs. Do they have a unified strategy at all? Or is it just the whims of a manager’s daily musings that drive what development does?

Core rope memory?

Memory density is about 2.5MB per cubic metre, might need to buy a warehouse to store it.

Apparently it used to be that, but now there is no limit: https://www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov.au/new-to-work/essential-information-for-people-new-to-work/new-to-work-faq/#:~:text=How old must I be,may apply relating to age.
