Defnitely at least half a wheel

FTFY

This could lead to traumatized customers and a bad image as heartless company.

(or be a total win if the cat stays on top and became the new mascot; but guess they don’t want to take the risk)

Guess the difference is what you grew up with and therefore intuitively prefer:

• allegedly american thinking: This baby sucks X gallons. Let’s see how far I can get with it

• allegedly non-american thanking: I need to drive roughly X 1/2 hundred kilometers, and that will burn that much fuel.

How often do you have to use it?

The important parts are paint and maintenance.

Give a commie block a fresh coat of paint every decade or so and they can look good (though I just don’t like flat roofs. But that’s personal taste.)

But while a somewhat run down european style house can still have some charme for longer (guess I’m biased here) a run down commie block in gray and with cracks in the facade will quickly start to look depressing.

And as they are often chosen for cost reasons inside capitalistic environments, they are often neglected.

So, the problem is not commie blocks, but how they are maintained. And as often we tend to search for the extreme examples if we (dis)like something.

You underestimate my unity with my chair.

To further expand at least for samsung:

• the mic will be re-enabled for regular phone calls
• the mic won’t be re-enabled for other calls, e.g. WhatsApp, Telegram, Whatsoever

Verstörend.

have

We germans know that have has no b; our autocorrect just corrects it to habe all the time

I would be more concerned about phantom pain.

Sure, your fried receptors are not firing anymore; but your head may interpret the absence of any sensory input as pain.

I have to admit I use mostly Ubuntu and Mint;

the only drivers I had to install (successfully) were ethernet and wifi drivers on laptops. (luckily bluetooth and usb-tethering always works.

The only driver I never managed to install is the fingerprint reader. But who can expect that a Dell Laptop for 5k€ that is sold by dell with a linux-option has linux drivers for all of the hardware…

This reminds me of an old screenshot of mine:

I don’t really get the meme.

Was on workation with my company and the hotel had a taco bell. on the outside.
First taco bell in my life, and all expenses are paid by the company.

We ate taco bell for the whole week daily for lunch (and burritos for evening, but from a proper mexican restaurant)

Normally I have a pretty weak stomach, but it seems like my stomach was never as stable as in this one week taco&burrito-only -diet

You can plot anything.

I use it mostly to print drawings onto birthday cards.

(btw, I totally agree that OPs results are far from look handwritten; just wanted to stand in for some benefits of plotting in general. If I would try what op does I guess I would try things very differently)

Benefits of a plotter in this case:

• easier to align with the existing lines on the paper
• the ink doesn’t look printed (depending on the pen; I would use a blue ball-pen to make text look more authentic)
• there are pressure-marks left on the paper, you wouldn’t have these on regular printers

(not op)

Sure, but in this case, most of the lemmy-clients (FOSS or not) are bad.

I have problems logging into my accounts (seems like some instances want my email as a username and many clients cannot handle this after I switched accounts), some clients don’t feature editing or deleting your posts, some clients don’t show my saved content, some clients don’t allow to see what you posted

Sure, much of this is because they started from scratch and will maybe surpass sync some day; but right now I couldn’t find something that isn’t worth. (didn’t try infinity yet, tho)

it’s not necessarily “FOSS is bad”; it’s just that the current lemmy-ecosystem is in it’s child shoes (I have the feeling this proverb doesn’t work in english?)

That said: I use Sync4Lemmy since 5 minutes and this is my first comment; so let’s see if/what it will deliver

1. I never understood why space should be at premium. A phone does not need to be as thin as possible. 1½-2cm thickness is reasonable in my eyes, and would allow so much more ports and/or buttons. I would have use for 2-3 extra buttons.
2. The biggest pro of two opposing ports: you could always charge your device regardless of orientation. With just a port on the bottom charging while scrolling in the bed is often uncomfortable
