I've used the magic mouse in passing, and to be honest after the first couple fumbled attempts of doing a right click, my brain just transitioned to clicking as if it were a macbook touchpad. And it works great. It's not a mouse, it's not a touchpad, it's in between.

Sounds like they had their scaler set up to squash everything. Not the best for content, but the best for accepting whatever people will throw at it. Can't say I'm a fan of not giving you all the pixels you paid for, though!

I miss AV sometimes.

Nice. It looks like your led has a little hat!

Did you manage to get Linux to output the native resolution of the screen?

I thought it had more of a 'doing your own thing' vibe to it. As in, you could use it to describe someone spending a vast amount of time perfecting an unusual skill.

I still don't understand what this means.

None!

There should be no guilty pleasures in music. Especially dating. It's much more attractive to have a wide range of tastes and be comfortable with what you like.

Study suggests children remotely move matter to extinguish birthday cake candles, to prevent wildfires.

I am very grateful to my DM for allowing me to play as a gelatinous cube that had absorbed a headband of intellect. Such a fun character to play!

Are you a Pratchett fan? I think you'd like his take on elves, I think the first Discworld they're in is Lords and Ladies.

I have a theory as to why people in my country discuss US politics more than our own. People want to talk about something more 'important' than the latest reality talent show, but don't want to risk talking about local politics. US politics is square in the middle, splashed across our feeds constantly.

I just can't wait until elections continue their downward spiral, and presidential candidates need to sing country songs to Snoop Dog so they don't get voted off the island.

Can you use an external controller, and a stand of some kind?

Oooh, this is promising... I'll check it out, if it's what I hope it is, thank you!

I'm not sure on either front- never used LibreOffice Draw. Visio does, but for me, it's not worth it.

I like draw.io, but the killer feature I want is auto-layout. As soon as a flowchart gets a little complex, things get really fiddly. I wish I could hit 'auto-arrange' and it would do some approximation of a tidy layout.

That's correct, worldwide as far as I know. But doesn't help if there's no network available at all. Usually, multiple carriers will use the same tower, so if that falls over, you're outta luck.

Better take a year off, mate.

But then people would be confused and think Greece was invading.

Most Europeans are also illegal aliens from somewhere else.

Huh, that's interesting. I would have thought that a TV running Linux would be called 'smart'.

I'm with you though, it's better to be more 'modular' and have your playback device- be it PlayStation, media server, heck even television receiver, seperate from the display itself.

The chest strap?
