contemplated getting one of these a while back opted for an m3-8100Y Surface Go 2 instead because they were far easier to find and much cheaper. Managed to find one for £70 with th…

Potentially worth looking into old Surface Go's; from what I know they run Linux fairly reliably now and can be gotten suprisingly cheaply (the Go 2 with m3-8100Y processor seeming…

I do often wonder with this kind of thing whether an unspoken aspect of it is about not depleting the country's fossil fuels From what I understand Ireland has very little natural …

The gap between 2025 and 2009 is massive for smartphones but I'd say it gets drastically smaller around the midpoint. If it wasn't for it no longer being supported by iOS I'd still…

I think there could be a market for a small reliable Android phone. The main issue is that it'd take years to build up a model's reputation and it'd have to be reasonably low price…

I really like this, it looks great! Did you investigate using a MiniDisc player at any point? I could see a minidisc player with some kind of shell and a DIY inline remote working …

I find Bluesky better but I've had to be pretty aggressive about blocking centre-left types. I don't even disagree with most of what they're complaining about, after being away fro…

did you have the regular battery or the larger one? Maybe it was something about the larger battery flagging some kind of screening process they have. I was surprised too, I've bro…

Do you ever have any trouble at airports? The one time I ever had grief at an airport was a few years ago travelling with an X230 with the larger battery pack. Security seemed extr…

Bought an X220 years back and it unintentionally became my main laptop for a few years. Sold it on in much worse condition (I kept the keyboard) at a profit and got an i7 X230T ins…

I've often wondered why there aren't devices that have all network operations bundled into a removable module; that way you could get both people who want some level of disconnect …

I don't disagree. I think POVs in forums are often much more about framing a thing to justify your beliefs than actually hitting at your own personal implicit values (it's plausibl…

Don't know how school funding operates in the US so this is a guess: Parents cover the fees and give the kids an allowance for the rest; either the kids budget poorly or the allowa…

Pearson make great money charging obscene amounts for books. In many subjects they'll have some online component so if you thought you could get away with using a second hand copy …

> At least for me, it's not that reading bores me - there just isn't enough time and benefit to it, especially for novels and literature. Literary books aren't going in my CV, nor …

I'm a bit mixed on all these kind of tirades. I imagine a big chunk of most literature undergraduate degrees are people who like the idea of being into literature much more than th…

Wasn't Build Back Better meant to be roughly the same kind of objectives, maybe the stated means were different (and less vague) but roughly the same? I haven't paid that much atte…

I'm not too keen on the Stanley Parable and enjoyed the Beginners Guide. It's definitely something that could be called pretentious but I feel like it's a lot more interesting with…

Ah yeah but that's always the case. Was mostly just surprised my response to 27 number ones was "really, only 27?!" Looks like the hot 100 is more confusing than I thought; I see I…

Things like this aren't about economic growth, they're about reducing the reliance on foreign services

surprised Max Martin only has 27, looking through his list there's a lot of songs I assumed must have been #1s that weren't

> I've also heard of an acquaintance that they cancelled plans because their (Garmin™) Body Battery was too low. This sounds like someone who just feels like they need to provide t…

I meant in terms of what people expect this kind of service to be. If his vision is a privately-ran for-profit contracted agency he's not resurrecting anything.

Thanks for this, wasn't exactly looking for something like this but it fits a bunch of projects I have in mind!

An opportunity to provide value to the government by replacing their own service with an inevitably more expensive one which can be recontracted out to whoever suits the interests …
