    This saved my butt when I lost my mouse dongle and only had an Ubuntu instance available at the time. I was able to pair my mouse to the same dongle my keyboard used and have been …

    When I was shopping around for EVs at the time the Bolt was actually more efficient miles/kwh than a Tesla. Factoring that into the total cost of ownership further widened the pric…

    I haven’t used WhatsApp for while so maybe I’m wrong about that one, but Messenger definitely doesn’t work. I wish it was opt in by default for all notifications, it’s annoying so …

    Do they mention CarPlay? It drives me crazy that it only integrates notifications with Apple first party apps. It will send me notifications for iMessage or Apple calendar, but com…

    I feel like I accidentally discovered a huge hack for this by upgrading to a 49" DQHD monitor. It's the exact same resolution as two 27" 1440p monitors so it's like any Apple silic…

    I consider M1 as already supporting two external displays if you're using a 49" DQHD monitor. :) Mine (Samsung CRG9) is the exact same resolution as two 27" 1440p monitors. Highly …

    I was there during that time too, drove me crazy when they announced that change. Pay wasn't competitive and now you're messing with our retirement? I'm sure someone in finance got…

    I'm in the same boat but GM converted me with the Bolt instead, driving experience and build quality really surprised me. Although, this announcement has completely killed what lit…

    Also why are they even encouraging password sharing? Spotify family plan model makes much more sense, each member of the family plan has their own account with separate login. No m…

    I understand not supporting Linux but they don't even have a web version which is a deal breaker for me.

    I'm confused by the laptop setup picture. Does he type on the laptop while it's on the stand? Not ergonomic for me, my hands would get tired too fast and that angle would trigger c…

    I used OneNote in school and really liked it but no native Linux support is a deal breaker. The web client is far too slow and frustrating to use on a daily basis.

    Syncing with OneDrive is an optional feature. You can save notebooks locally to use up as much space as you want without paying.
