I wouldn't call it "measured in inches" as much as they are "named" with a partly numerical name, which may or may not be an adequate correspondence with a different country's length scale.
It's similar with bicycles: many tires are named in inches. Two tires with the same number of "inches" may however not have the same diameter, so to translate size-names into measurements is fraught with pitfalls.
It varies so much from day to day, if I even notice that I skipped a meal (not breakfast, mkay? I literally can't skip breakfast). Sometimes I'm in the zone and don't notice that lunch time was like 4 hours ago. Other days I can get really irritated that I haven't had lunch yet and it's another hour until I'm supposed to take that lunch break.
I still run a fairly old dell laptop with 4k screen, and fedora 41.
My experience is that i needed to set dpi, scaling, and font sizes separately for kde and gnome apps, Firefox is a story in itself, and one app that I quickly stopped using - partly because I could never get it to listen to dpi settings no matter what I did - well, I recently learned that it could be used on a 4k monitor if one first were to set the right environmental variable. Tough luck, I already went with a replacement app.
Right now I only have one app that needs further custom tweaking to be legible, but since that's only running in the background anyway, I haven't bothered. So in short, for most apps it's possible to configure them, but it is a pain point.
Is anybody still using mailspring? I remember trying it back in '16 or '17 or so, liked it, but didn't really feel the need for a standalone client at the time.
Now I'm looking forward to creating more email addresses, and multiple tabs of webmail are getting gradually less appealing.
Sure, Thunderbird works...
Lemmy, no.
Reddit, no.
Fediverse: there are a few people (less than a dozen) that I have met IRL ("know" may be a strong word) and also have a more or less strong presence in the fediverse, primarily Mastodon.
The phone is a moto hyper one. 4 or 5 years old, I fear the day i need to switch. Technically it has two sim cards slots. More precisely: one sim card slot and one slot that can be used either for sim or SD card. Since sd card is non-negotiable for me, it means one usable sim.
Audio jack yes, but not replaceable battery.
I haven't tried vertical mouse. Maybe I ought...
No luck with the imgur link :( I'll try again later
Phone with dual sim card slots and a sdcard, plus pop-out camera (my present phone has all of that except the second simcard, and I refuse to replace this phone!)
** Charging port on top
** Slightly thicker to fit a larger battery - and possibly slightly better optics for the main camera.
Computer mouse about 15% larger than the "large" mouses they presently sell.
Detachable 10-key that's mirrored for easy left hand use.
In general, small electronic devices should have more than one button for interaction. It's easier to remember 3 different buttons than 3 different Morse codes to achieve the three different functions.
1 and 6.
