True, but the Steam overlay is a good workaround

The laptop has two hinges, when the first one has extended fully, the second one bends allowing the edge below the keyboard and the top of the screen to be at the same height, while allowing an extra wide point to help it balance.

Hope that helps

He didn't get to Data cause Troi was closer

You made the mistake of going to "Japan *_RaWs*™"

Tim Cook will announce his retirement within 5 years. He kicked out the Vision Pro before it was ready so that he would leave a legacy device people would associate with him. He'll wait for 3 or 4 iterations then walk.

That would require someone at Google caring about Android. Apart from the amazing team working to modulate the OS, nobody likes working with Android. Look at 14, it's a code clean up with one feature stolen from iOS (lock screen customisation) which was much better and more interesting back before Lolipop. No master plan, no building up to something. No wonder they can promise 7 years of support for the Pixel 8, there's nothing in the pipeline.

But it's not just Android, Google have reached a point where they don't know what to do about anything. ChatGPT snuck up on them. Rust has decimated any chance of Kotlin being widely adopted. Europe is getting more aggressive about controlling how they operate. Ad money isn't bringing in what it once did. Any attempts at trying to corner the cookie market are hated. It why we're seeing the ad block stuff on YouTube and another round of the Google Graveyard, they be running out of money and have no idea how to bring in new revenue.

There was a protest in Amsterdam today in support of Israel where a woman was quoted as saying "Palestine has unfortunately won the social media war."

I'm sure its a great comfort to those who have lost loved ones, their children or their whole family in the space of a week that the west are arguing which war crimes of two religious fringes count.

While I've seen these before, I find this hard to believe this isn't a screenshot from The Witness (2016).

China talks about going to war the same way a virgin talks about sex

Yeah very similar to Matrix or the good days of Trillian

techmeme.com is a great aggregator

Have a look at Beeper, essentially an app which connects to the web version of Whatsapp, unfortunately does not support calls but for chats and group chats should cover everything.

In terms of a light version, it's unlikely. They're playing to their biggest markets of India and Europe, where these features are well used (I've seen a lot of statuses used for "Good Morning messages", and business announcing discounts or news.)

I dislike stories, but I have a very small social circle, none of which think waking up or buying a pretty looking cocktail as an achievement worth sharing publicly.

I'm a little shocked it's not a Watchy with a custom app on it
