that's a lot more money for a smaller screen, though. 32" is a big monitor sitting in front of a desk, but a small TV if you're on a couch.

Still possible, but why would that be useful to anyone?

Among other intriguing items on the agenda for the division are plans to adapt video games from Annapurna Interactive, the gaming branch of the indie studio

I wonder what else they could adapt? I don't think Outer Wilds would ever work as a movie, and that's the first Annapurna-published title I can think of.

They took it over after Disney cancelled it and closed the studio that was making it.

Depending on the use case something like Obsidian, free commercial software but not telemetry-filled and bloated, might be worth using.

A good article, a lot of those advantages I wasn't aware of! I think DisplayPort unfairly got a bad rap as "oh, I have to buy another cable now" when it was new, but it's obviously the better choice now. Although I still hate DisplayPort's latching, makes it so hard to unplug cables in tight spaces. I'd rather old-style screws than the latch on all the DP cables I've used.

Yhe family plan is the price of 3 "unlimited" subscriptions, if you don't need unlimited then Mail Plus is far more reasonable at AU$140/2yrs, for one person though.

I do wish they had a "Mail Plus Family" for up to 3 people, would be a good middle ground to get my family to switch.

Assuming you have a spare slot (and your laptop is designed in a way to make that swap easy)

Is there any market research at all indicating that customers want 6"+ displays?

Unfortunately, yes. People who buy smaller phones are the people who buy a new phone less often, and small phones tend to sell worse than the big models (see S10e, iPhone 12(?) Mini) so don't get renewed. Would be nice if they did.

Python in a spreadsheet would be so helpful, abstracting it out to macros less so. Better than making them in VBA I'm sure, but still not the same thing.

I'm very basic, more thinking about stuff like using Python f-strings and string formatting vs excels formatting.

I haven't seen any of this in Firefox?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't that something entirely different? This is python in a cell of a spreadsheet, which could be really good, but what you linked seems to be for macros, same as excel's VBA

It's a genuinely good security feature, but wrecks custom roms as a side effect (which I'm sure samsung doesn't mind)

That would make some things so much easier, imagine using python string formatting instead of excel CONCAT and '&'... but it's running on the cloud, so going to be slow and fundamentally useless.

Yeah, there's no real alternative here. Use messenger or Don't talk to people.

They wanted to software-limit non-MFI usb cables, not sure if the EU will stop them in time.

Wouldn't it end up implemented somewhere inside Chromium?

"attention tokens," wow that sounds bad in and of itself

hey, did you try this? how did it go?

These laws exist in Australia already, Facebook and Google claimed they'd pull out of the country and of course they just came to an agreement with almost all news companies and life moved on.
