I wonder if this is where Apple are going to end up with their touch bar. At least you won't need to worry about dust killing your keyboard.

Activate 3 finger dragging in Accessibility settings. I use tap to click, two finger for right click and 3 finger for drag. Works great. I guess I never actually click the trackpad with these settings.
This is by far the best setup for the trackpad. Ever since discovering 3-finger drag, I can't live without it. I don't understand why not everyone uses it, and why Apple decided to move it from the main settings screen to the accessibility settings.
Agree though, I'd get crazy without it.
(The behaviour of the touch, not the placement in the settings.)
How is anyone supposed to type on something like that?

It's probably not very bad, but stupid experiments can have a negative influence on the community as a whole. Let's say e-ink keyboards are a good idea, but it's too soon. An early implementation will quite possibly delay (more make completely unviable) trying the experiment again. If it's just a bad idea, resources will have been diverted into the development of a failed product (which is years of someones life spen…
This presumes we can choose the right path without mistakes. It's a silly presumption. And I think it's fine to be frustrated with stupid VC spending, but to the extent it is actually a problem, it shouldn't be sustainable (it would be replaced by less stupid spending if it were truly enjoining advancement).
The VC stuff... I'm not sure that it's not sustainable. The way VCs are selected is not totally efficient (I would say, not even very efficient). More than that, successful exits for VCs don't always mean that a product or service provided value to the world at large (or was a good use for limited engineering talent), there are lots of ways for a VC to get a successful exit without that happening (including a follow on investing giving them liquidity, before there is even a product on the market for example, or the company being acquired without having developed anything useful).
I'm still consistently enraged at trackpads without physically distinct left and right buttons. No one does them right. Not even Apple.
I always turn on 'tap to click' on my trackpad so you can tap anywhere to click, and two finger tap to right click. I haven't missed physical buttons since getting used to this. Is there a particular use case that the physical buttons are better for? I can imagine gaming at least.
I'd like to see a laptop with an e-ink display I can code on. That way I can go and sit in the sun.

Hah yea. Pressure sensitivity and haptic feedback on the touchbar to reduce accidental button presses would go a long way for me.
