I’ve just installed it on my Dell Latitude E6330. It’s great, but am I the only one who gets his laptop restarted instead of powered off? It happened both on Mint and Zorin OS, never on Windows.

Samsung DeX? My Galaxy Note 9 already has it.

we’ve only used text for years now

Speak for yourself, I send quite a bunch of pictures and so do plenty of users

You know that IRC has waaaaay less features, right?

Doesn’t matter that much for Blu-rays since they’re non-organic anyway. It mattered more for DVDs since they use organic dyes, but I couldn’t find any M-Disc DVDs in Poland.

Which brand do you use? Not a single Verbatim has ever failed me, neither DVD nor Blu-ray. I also use a full-size burner with 12V SATA-USB adapter, not those stupid “slim” ones.

If I wanted to watch movies destroyed by compression, I’d go streaming. Blu-ray allows for way less compression. There’s a reason Blu-ray remuxes aren’t DVD-sized. Heck, some movies don’t even fit on a single layer Blu-ray! Do you want to compress that to 4.7 GB? And that’s only main title, without extras!

Ah, so that’s what they use in a cremation chamber nowadays…

OPUS files

Ah yes, a man of culture

Screw MP3, Opus is better.

-f 140 is AAC, please don’t do that. -f 251 is better since it’s Opus, the best versatile lossy codec so far.

You take the exam on cars provided by either the examiner or your driving school.

The second option usually happens only if you wanna get an automatic-only car driving license (B78), like me. I had to pay my instructor for renting me his car for the exam’s duration – standard practice, especially since it was his “daily” after working hours.

If you’re super lucky you get to take it on the car you used the most while learning

If you want to get the full driving license (B) and have no disabilities, you learn on a driving school’s manual and take an exam on an examination center’s manual. They’re separate entities, so you never get the same physical car. At least the model should be the same – driving schools usually match their fleet with whichever model local examination center picked. E.g. in Warsaw it’s Hyundai i20, so most (if not all) schools teach on Hyundai i20.

depends how cars get allocated

Like I’ve said before, examination center’s cars are never used for teaching. That’s driving school’s job.

Is the last one an absolute requirement?

No, but it must match capacitive reader’s performance.

I’ve just checked the 2023 version of Moto G Stylus and… IPS? Seriously, Motorola? Sorry, devil wears Prada and flagships wear AMOLED.

Oh, yeah. I forgot that G Stylus isn’t supposed to be a flagship. Duh.

Thank you for suggesting something anyway. Guess I’ll stick to the Note 9 and keep fixing it until the world dies.

it’s frequently 10 Fahrenheit or lower in the winter

Fair enough, we don’t hit such temperatures regularly in Warsaw (Poland).

a literal freezing steering wheel

Is it that bad? Wow. Didn’t know that. I though the cage would provide at least some thermal insulation.

hold on to it for 10 mins until the heat kicks on

If my colleagues lived in a climate as cold as yours, they’d have mounted parking heaters (e.g. Webasto) by now. Electrics struggle in cold, but they can preheat themselves before the ride, using just the electricity.

I’m assuming you live in a warm place

Warsaw is at the same latitude as Edmonton in Canada, so shouldn’t be really that warmer.

or don’t drive a car

Winter 2022/23 was when we still were in our previous office. It was ½ hour long commute with my Xiaomi M365 electric scooter. This winter 2023/24 we moved to an office further away, so I was forced to change my daily vehicle to a motorcycle, maxiscooter SYM MaxSym 600i ABS. At least you have the goddamn cage.

Wish I had public transportation.

I miss having good alternative commute via metro and tram to our old office. Took almost the same time as e-scooter. But our new office? Public transit takes 2x as long as a motorcycle commute, according to Google Maps Timeline, so might as well not exist. So now we’re in similar situation. Wish you luck…

And you have to edit almost all of the pictures afterwards since neither DSLRs nor mirrorless cameras have automated post-processing that smartphones have. I’d love to upgrade my small Fujifilm X-T100 with GCam algorithms and I’d F-KING KILL for pairing it with DxO DeepPRIME denoising algorithm. Heck, these two would be fine additions to my Galaxy Note 9! No wonder @[email protected] uses Pixel 6, it’s perfect for a quick snap in good light.

JUST FIVE?! Holy shit dude, how much of bad UI/UX have you been through?

Holy shit, it’s like User Inyerface, but for stoves!

What do you need a touchscreen for? You just take an appropriate pump (E95, Diesel), fill the fuel and pay at the register.

wear gloves when driving

For example?
If it’s so cold that you wear gloves, then get your AC fixed because it should’ve been running by the time you drive off.
