I have a 10" Chuwi Minibook X. It’s basically my go to when I go to my kids activities. For me, it’s a better alternative than a phone or my tablet. It’s small when folded up and weighs very little. The luggability is surprisingly better than my Framework 13. Plus, I have a real keyboard instead of a touchscreen that is surprisingly much better than I expected . That’s handy for when I do want to do something more productive. And since it only cost me about $300 or so, I’m much less worried about it getting damaged.

I wouldn’t just carry it around with me randomly in public. But, I could if I wanted to. It’s a shame there are so few options like it. One of my biggest factors I was looking for was weight and overall footprint.

Such a good song. I have not thought about or listened to that song or album in at least a decade. Thanks for the reference to rekindle my fond memories. Time to go listen to some Bad Religion… :-)

You owe KDE a second look if it’s been that long.

I had 5 monitors for a bit before changing to a 32:9 monitor for my main monitor which gives me the equivalent of 4 monitors.

As long as the monitors are setup right (e.g. leveraging vertical space and not just horizontal space), I find the desktop real estate to be invaluable.

But, I started doing dual monitors over 20 years ago. So, I’m an early evangelist of multi-monitor and have adopted workflows that greatly benefit from it.

That’s not totally accurate. It was initially a symbiotic relationship. Linus was providing marketing for NCIX as well in the early days. That does not detract from the reality that LTT would be nothing without the early support of NCIX.

Honestly, it’s highly variable. Generally speaking, more populated areas tend to have much better options for internet and in some large markets even have a degree of competition.

In my case, I live in a town of only 180k or so people. At my home, I am able to get 1.2 gbps download from Comcast. They are the only option in my direct vicinity with this much bandwidth. The alernative is AT&T with only DSL as an option. I don’t remember the top tier. But, it’s considerably slower at maybe 100 mbps or something like that.

Your comment about Subaru is not true across the board. I have a 2023 Ascent that has very limited physical buttons. The same infotainment system and setup is now on the Outback as well.

Ah, that’s a good point. I was clearly wrong with my comment. Apologies! With your correction on my interpretation, these numbers look unusually off…

It’s not per day. The number is cumulative.

That’s great news! I intend to watch it closely as it progresses. Thank you for sharing the links.

I have not switch over my Steamdeck to Windows 11. But, I did pick up an ROG Ally b/c I apparently lack impulse control. IMO, the experience with Steam OS on Steam deck is far and above Windows 11 on a similar-ish handheld.
