A foldable costs more than my laptop and tablet combined. While being less resilient and less capable.
I'm not going to pay premium for a device that will break if it get exposed to dust.
I will pay premium for durability, fixability, modularity and for gnu/Linux that mobile device that can interface with android apps that society forces me to use.
Simple text editor. To create failing test by hand, closing in on a bug in the code.
In addition to other comments,read about Ada Lovelace. She was brilliant, she wrote the first program, and done so before we had computers!
Bahahaha, if I save all my income, for 3 years, I will not be able to buy a house. I may, may!, be able to collect enough for a down payment on a very shity apartment that will cost more over time as it's already breaking down.
Latex it all out
Not sure about all of them, as I don't want them in my life. But I found out by chance that one of them became a social worker. I saw another in an acceptance exam to an academic program, he failed, I got in.
You can easily load PDFs into kobo readers, at-least into mine. However, most PDFs will be unreadable. To reads PDFs properly on a e-reader you need a screen that is at-least as big as their render size. Meaning, that if the PDF was built for A4, your experience will be, in most cases, lacking on any screen smaller than A4.
I have no experience using such big eink and can't comment on their quality.
We don't, scientifically, know which one of us is right. We can only go based on gut feeling and anecdotes.
My job is in bioinformatics, from the computational side. The measurements we took were assumed to be wrong due to how far they were out of the expected. Sadly, the equipment did not malfunction, the temperature of the environments we measured shifted drastically causing a reduction in community complexity.
My fun-time is partially in small scale farming, while some of my family members work full time in the agriculture. I've seen both small scale collapse, meaning a tree or a bush die from extreme weather. Members of my family now drink more, as they witnessed fields ruined in a few hours. Hail out of session, a once in a hundred years wind that blew day after day for a week, extreme cold (for the region), extended dry spells in winters with floods between. Each one of those events reduced the agricultural output of a given area to zero for that season.
I live in a western country, we have no technology to stop that and it will become more frequent and global. We have no technology to save our own food supply.
We know how to grow food in building. If we have energy to replace the sun. We don't. So we are going the route of food collapse, leading to population collapse, extinction will follow a few years later.
They paid enough? Nobody at Elsevier is getting paid enough to give a flying fuck?
NixOS or Debian. Don't install Ubuntu or Arch on your work computer.
I don't own a yoga mat
