    It't true that the ThinkPad display kind of sucks. Though I can upgrade to a 2K OLED panel for additional 80 USD. That makes the E14 30 bucks more expensive than the Neo.

    MacBook Neo with 512 gigabytes of storage configuration costs 1,200,000 KRW (Approx. 810 USD for reference) in my nation. I can get ThinkPad E14 with a decent lunar lake CPU and 16…

    Schizoid personality is not a "disorder". Having your own ideal and philosophy and not sheepishly following corporate and government propaganda (so called "trend") is what every ot…

    I tried wayland multiple times before, but the lack of xsct equivalent and the awful input delay (compared to X11 window managers without compositor) made my experience very frustr…

    The coconut death claim is an exaggerated lie. From the Wikipedia article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_coconut ): "In his paper, Barss observed that in Papua New Guinea…

    This is not about "lack of humanity", but about violating fundamental UX rules such as hiding your cursor at random times. It's offensive. You don't have to sacrifice usability whi…

    I don't think machines should rely on an opaque logic to assume and "correct errors" on user input. It's more accurate to "fail" than handling out an assumed output. And also: > th…

    Same are these devices function, but Apple is paying for those who share their stories.
