the 1.4 introduced somewherein the 2000s was their last "good" engine. newer models just suffer from downsizing, constant engine problems after around 80K km.

buy a used honda or a toyota. might even be fuel efficient if you buy a prius for cheap and replace the battery.

or, you know... buy a small car. the 1st gen aygo easily does 40-50mpg and cost 10K BRAND NEW. but then toyota made it a crossover which uses more fuel and is almost 20K.

"we need to continue cutting funds on renewables"

all powerful people should do this, suffer in poverty for a few months every couple of years.

AFAIK, the contents of the cartridge was entirely loaded into RAM, so one bank of ROM chips needed to be a specific size. the cartridge of course gets much more expensive if you double the storage, so it wasn't done very often.

https://youtu.be/ZWQ0591PAxM they mention switching storage at 1:10.

the average person will make just shy of 2 Million dollars. that is assuming you never spend any money and don't pay taxes.

the NES had some titles where there were two ROM banks where access to one of them were switched when a certain part of the game was reached. this had to do with the limited RAM of the system i believe. you could technically do this but hundreds and thousands of times.

technically, it would also be possible to increase the RAM capacity and make it emulator-only. it has been an emulator detection feature to try to access a memory adress outside of the possible capacity.

Monopoly, except you live paycheck to paycheck. the game continues until everyone is either homeless, insolvent, died of old age or has comitted suicide.

hans zimmer actually made a soundpack for some BMW models, imagine having hiroyuki sawano make one for their cars.

same, i'm on 121.0.1

another reason to not use that horrible, ad-infested site. even if caused by a "bug".

perfectly reasonable and logical prejudice, i might add. we really need to get people to use alternative search engines. google has been sucking fat balls for a long time now. either people are going to start to switch, or the frog will continue boiling.

my brother runs a thinkpad T380. best thing about it is that there is a swappable and a built-in battery. he bought it "refurbished" so his didn't include the internal one for some reason. but you can open and even upgrade some components.

all for around 300€.

we think these have benn bought by companies for full price (1000+€) and are now being replaced, so the market for used thinkpads is very saturated at the moment.

currently runs windows, but i see no problems with running linux on a laptop, you aren't gonna game on integrated graphics anyway.

i've used Linux Mint Cinnamon a fair bit, i really like it. i've heard KDE offers more desktop customization, but i have no idea what that would actually look like. Kubuntu apparently has it.

i have the FP4, and there are definetely some small things. but the major ones all get patched in a couple of weeks. the smaller issues might be bunched into a larger update. there was also the issue of ghost touch with my model, but after contacting support they sent me a replacement screen to swap in.

if you are aware of a certain issue and want to wait until they fix it, they have a changelog for every model. here's the one for the FP5: https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/18682800465169-Fairphone-5-OS-Release-Notes

that notification thing is really annoying, but i'm certain they are aware of that and are trying to fix it ASAP. if linus is complaining about your product, that's a lotta bad press.

edit: forgot to answer your questions. volumes are fine and adjustable. although the loudspeaker isn't as loud as i would expect it sometimes. auto brightness works well, but it does sometimes stay bright after going into a dark room. usually i just nudge the brightness down, and it'll work after that.

when using closed-source software, always assume it's phoning home any chance it gets.

just so i understand that right, do you want your keyboard to spell check words as you type? if yes, i use openboard.

definetely, i've only owned xiaomi and huawei devices that were on the brink of not working at all sometimes. compared to that, my Fairphone 4 is pretty reliable.

although the camera could be better, it's perfectly usable. take a look at my cat trying to figure out what a cordless drill is.

i would call CPU performance "good enough" and GPU performance "kinda bad for the money". even though fortnite, star rail and genshin impact run at a stable 30fps on low settings at 100% resolution.

and the battery lasts the day only if you're lucky.

all in all, if has been my companion for one and a half years now and i don't regret spending full price on it. i imagine the Fairphobe 5 being even better, it supposedly performed very well in mkbhd's blind camera test.

and don't get me started about the ability to repair this thing. i've had it disassembled down to the motherboard multiple times, there are no adhesives in there, like at all. the CPU has some kind of hard thermal pad.

i wish dressing up for work was this fun.

Fairphone makes it as easy as they can to install /e/OS or any other custom ROM, probably because they believe in selling the phone as the hardware itself, with you being able to choose your OS.

like it should be. like we are doing with PCs.

but a fairphone does come with a very uncompetitive price tag, trust me, i own one.

i'm using a Q6 with lubed MX blacks (60g) and PBT caps. nothing like your setups at all, but they are plenty loud, even as linears. the aluminium case makes them "ping". i would imagine the navys being almost deafeningly loud, even if you like them clicky. the large case and the even larger actuation force make for great amplifiers of noise.

'slaughtering innocent civilians'

nintendo is kind of known for bad performance, but the wiiu really took the cake for outdated and low performance at launch.

also the gamepads are region locked (why, nintendo?)
