This map keeps getting worse every time I see it

Do all Europeans choose to purposefully misinterpret information that is actually very easy to understand based on context?

Non integer display scaling will always look like crap.

No it won't, Windows has had this figured out for at least a decade

Apple does block the Taiwan emoji in China, though I haven't heard of Google doing anything similar so maybe it's just an Apple thing

Tangent: on the other hand, Microsoft refuses to support country flag emojis for some reason which is annoying.

I think it's so that they don't have to make politically motivated decisions on which flags to include

Or just joules per second for power. Eliminate watts entirely. Dumbass unit

I use it for a mix of text, handwriting/drawing, PDF annotation and image annotation, and I also pretty heavily rely on realtime sync between my devices. If none of that is stuff you use then I can see why you might want something simpler

OneNote. Don't love being super reliant on all the Microsoft Office cloud stuff but there really isn't anything that comes close to what I use it for

Here's an interesting write-up about an attempt to develop a large-scale urban maglev system in the 1970s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krauss-Maffei_Transurban

tl;dr: there were so many technical issues that when the West German company developing the tech lost funding and the Ontario government took over the project, they immediately abandoned the maglev concept and replaced it with linear-induction propulsion with steel wheels on rails (the mag, without the lev).

Even this tech, which does have a few advantages over conventional rail and is still used today in cities like Vancouver, is falling out of favour due to general logistical issues with using bespoke technology over conventional rail -- fewer people know how to build and maintain it, you're relying on usually just one company to supply your trains and infrastructure until the end of time, you can't reuse any existing infrastructure, etc. I'd imagine these issues still get in the way of maglev development today -- even more so because you can't even reuse existing rails

My impression is that burn-in isn't nearly as much of an issue on newer panels as it once was. At least, I've been using the same OLED phone for 4 years and have no sign of burn-in yet.

We should decrease their property values though. That's half the problem

Not really the same thing at all if there's no handwriting support.
