Depends - average would probably be about 2-3 hours? Not great but not awful for my use.

I could replace the battery and improve this - ifixit sell the kits - but currently I have no need.

My mid 2013 MacBook air sees more use than any of my other devices.

I bought it for £100 a few years back and haven't looked back.

Ore forebears' masters were money-grubbing cunts, this is true. Let's not pretend old matey in the pits was actively participating in the enactment of policies which caused death and emigration on scales unbeknownst before.

Our masters are now too, but at least they pretend not to be. Although they still don't teach kids about the empire properly.

They have enough of those in their club already tbh.

I'll never understand people who run white lights on the rear of their bikes.

Your reply is, from the perspective of a driver and a cyclist, the best advice.

I'd add that if you can afford it a jacket from proviz is an absolute life saver - as soon as any light hits then in the dark you become a beacon.

Well put.

Sometimes we need to abandon our principles to care for others. My goodness is less important than the wellbeing of those who are oppressed.

To be fair I grew up in a religious household so he was a bit of a folk hero for us.

He was an interesting chap.

This might just be it 🙃

It's a shame that competition for this stuff is piracy or get shafted because I'm absolutely fine spending a reasonable sum on watching it but I can't justify paying for Discovery+ - I just want to watch cycling not more reality TV!

I had a GCN subscription until they were bought up by discovery, and now I've found out that the TdF won't be on free-to-watch tv in my home country any more I'm running out of places to view it; where you lot get your professional cycling fix from?

I've found that breaking cables is a personal issue. I still have an old usb Xbox 360 controller for pc gaming from when I owned an xbox. My partner has destroyed cables for laptops, hairdryers, headphones in less than 12 months.

Some cables are objectively worse than others (macbook chargers I'm looking at you) but a modicum of care generally is enough to make sure they last without too much hassle.

I'm tired of being tied to specific calendars and to-do apps because of difficulties in sharing and syncing my data, so I'd like to be able to manage it myself, either self hosting or using someone else's servers.

I already pay for web-hosting for a personal website (wordpress) but beyond this I'm totally at a loss.

My main goal is incredibly simple - I just want to host some notes and calendars for my family (tomavoid headaches when phones invariably break and so on), which I feel can't be too hard but I'm also incredibly stupid.

Please help?!

I think a lot of the issue is that people aren't seeing as much music.

My fiancée saw Taylor Swift in London years ago when she was a country act and yeah it wasn't cheap but she could afford to go as a teenager with a weekend job who happens to enjoy country music.

The acts people want to see are all huge by the time a lot of people would bother going to see them and they know they can charge insane prices for tickets because people will pay. It's the same for theatre. There's tonnes of awesome stuff you can see for peanuts (relatively, depending on your location) but people will still pay through the nose to see The Cursed Child™.

If you want to see live music (of any genre) you can - it's cheap and easy. But you might have to go to a small cramped venue or see someone you've not heard of. Or seek out smaller acts before they become huge industry behemoths.

And even better than that, they tailor their flavorful food for our palettes!

Fantastic.

33 here - if the staying up is enjoyable then 1-3am is fine. Hangovers are worse than when I was 23, but I'm usually back up to speed by lunchtime.

Of course this is heavily influenced by how much water I drink while I'm out. Hydration is important folks!

Universal Stylus? (lemmy.world)

I have a Lenovo Tab P11 (Gen 2), which while not being that old seems to have been entirely superceded, to the point that I can't seem to find stock of the only compatible stylus listed on their website (well, that isn't approaching £90 or shipping from China in Ebay- the RRP being something like £40)

Are there any decent universal styluses that can be bought for a decent price that will write well enough to be worth the cost? To my knowledge the Tab P11 isn't USI compatible, unfortunately so I understand that my options may be limited here!

I've been looking at 'Bridge Phones' which would let me ditch my (rather large) Android device for something much smaller that won't significantly reduce my ability to use some key apps (Signal, Spotify, OSMAnd+, and some activity tracking apps).

Does anyone have any thoughts on this device?

I'm not bothered by not having cameras, and it looks like this fits the bill, being a smaller version of the F22 Pro as far as I can tell.
