browsers did vertical tabs in the 90s and it flopped

There are extensions for that. Which are worse than they used to be because they didn't provide APIs enabling to do that properly, about 10 fucking years after they dropped the old APIs. There are a lot of other feature requests from back then open, often even filed years before they went through with dropping the old APIs. The best way of doing custom keyboard shortcuts in Firefox is still injecting Javascript into each page, with all the shortcomings this has. Usability of Firefox is way worse nowadays than what it was 10 years ago - and I do understand (and agree) with the decision to dump the legacy APIs, but you can't just break functionality lots of people use, and not provide APIs in over a decade to fix that.

I'm trying other browsers now and then, but every single one is a dumpster fire. At least the Firefox dumpster fire is a bit less out of control - but that's the most positive thing I can say about it nowadays.

AMD can compete in performance and power/Watt mid to high load, but is shit with low load efficiency. intel has nothing at all. Apple scales nicely over the complete range.

If you want a relatively small notebook with lots of RAM you also don't have options (not really AMDs fault, but hardware manufacturers seem to produce mostly shit now). Framework is pretty much the only somewhat decent option with 64GB max, if you want more there's pretty much only apple - which is way overcharging for that.

Ich hab gerade ewig gesucht wo der sein soll. Wer schneidet den in so hauchduenne Scheiben?

Those guys need to fire whoever is responsible for their website. It is loading way too much shit from all over the place, so pretty much only usable in a throw away browser instance.

and I was looking for a phone with a physical kb.

There's also planet computers - though the cosmo had some reliability issues at least in the early versions. My gemini still works, and I'll eventually get another cosmo. As daily phone the unihertz is more comfortable, but the two communicators allow you to do proper work with touch typing - on a keyboard better than the larger GPD pocket.

The airport allows you to keep your knife

It is a Victorinox swiss champ. Only flew twice last year - both times forgot the pocket knife. First time I stuck it in my backpack and hoped they don't notice, which they either didn't, or didn't care. At the destination I realized that I also had my multitool in the backpack.

On the way back I forgot it yet again, and just was trying to put it a bit deep under my jacket - and while waiting to go through saw from some distance two police officers opening the blades, discussing it, and just putting it back.

I just looked up what that is - not sure I see much value in that. Specs say maximum 480MBps data transfer speed - that's USB 2 speeds. For charging from a charger that is not your own you'd want data transfer blocked. For your own charger you probably already carry a longer cable anyway. With my set of adapters I get faster speeds, and am free to change cable lengths to whatever I need.

They have, and in my experience it works nicer than Rosetta.

Windows 10 had it limited to 32bit binaries (but Windows 10 on ARM is generally very broken). Windows 11 can handle both 32 and 64bit emulation.

Bluesky already allows you to use your own domain for your handle. Currently they just use a TXT record in DNS to verify it is your domain - but adding another record to specify on which instance this is hosted shouldn't be too hard.

I do have a bunch of the HPs for work related projects - they are pretty nice, and the x86 emulation works pretty good (and at least feels better than the x86 emulation in MacOS) - but a lot of other stuff is problematic, like pretty much no support in Microsofts deployment/imaging tools. So far I haven't managed to create answer files for unattended installation.

As for Linux - they do at least offer disabling secure boot, so you can boot other stuff. It'd have been nicer to be able to load custom keys, though. It is nice (yet still feeling a bit strange) to have an ARM system with UEFI. A lot of the bits required to make it working either have made it, or are on the way to upstream kernels, so I hope it'll be usable soon.

Currently for the most stable setup I need to run it from an external SSD as that specific kernel does not have support for the internal NVME devices, and booting that thing is a bit annoying as I couldn't get the grub on the SSD to play nice with UEFI, so I boot from a different grub, and then chainload the grub on SSD.

I have a matrix instance in my garage we're using as family chat. My 7 year old gets along well with schildichat.

I've just been using Windows for work stuff now and then for over two decades now - so I just have the install scripted so I can just deploy it from scratch whenever I need it, and throw it away afterwards. Before we had multicore CPUs making emulation not annoying I had a sun workstation with a SunPCI card for that.

The one constant over all windows versions is it running into some driver issues for stupid reasons. Now with 11 its the signed drivers - and while you can do exceptions for development I never got unsigned graphics drivers to work.

Also, Windows on ARM is horrible - something as simple as a usb serial adapter doesn't work because there just are no ARM drivers.

A few years back I bought a networked xerox scanner for that reason - its not ideal and rather outdated, but at that time was pretty much the only thing with a document feeder capable of generating multi page PDFs without having to control it from app or computer.
