hmm I'm not sure, I think that would throw sequential read/write performance out of the window, surely on HDD, maybe even on SSD to an extent. but, such a thing can probably be added with a device mapper device.
it seems this one doesn't have a camera! and it works through USB-C, which can be good or bad, but it seems maybe you can also just plug into your laptop in your backpack and that's still better than always packing up your laptop when walking. it has mics and speakers built in too.
it claims to also have a 3D mode, and some 3D features to pin apps to space, but no idea how that works. maybe it can pin the display in itself, not individual apps?
edit: it seems that only works with their own weird phone brand
yeah OBD and whatever maker-specific extensions, because lots of things only work that way
Having said that, it's probably only an issue when taking to the dealer for anything. Your everyday, local mechanic likely only cares about the diagnostic codes that might be active and point to the issue at hand.
used to be! but nowadays manufacturers are upgrading their diag software with DRM, that these tools refuse to work without internet. and this has been going for years now as I know. and sometimes the mechanic needs to pull up that diag software, because the other one does not tell enough, or maybe they are just always using that because it's easier for them
I don't know any, unfortunately. I just really don't want to use a car nowadays. Huge taxes and maintenance costs, compulsory microphone on the inside (for emergency calls), almost always internet connection through wireless, often cameras and additional mics on the inside, license plate readers both recording where you go but possibly even who sits in your seats and doing face recognition on them.
Seriously I'm fed up with this world. heads need to fall for any of these to get fixed.
However, I always order to the online store's own office directly (usually without even creating the account - instead asking an employee),
you mean ordering from a store's website that also has a physical store nearby? and by asking an employee, you mean asking in person at the shop, right?
if so, I think that would work here too. but most of my online purchases are from shops that don't have a physical store, maybe at all anywhere, so I can't apply this technique
just don't forget that whatever the car's computers still record, the maker's diag software will be able to read it out next time the car is at the mechanic
in my country the generic package pickup points will want to see your ID card and write it up. they may also check if it's the same as the recipient but I'm not sure about that
after sending that comment I noticed that I can also just browse by platform, but those lists are limited to 6 pages :/ see the notice at the bottom below the page switcher: https://www.mobygames.com/platform/win3x/year:1995/page:5/
well I actually know neither. I have very slight memories of it. I think I was using windows XP at the time. the game, as I remember, was a bit like those physical fidget games today, in that there was no story (or I didn't understand it yet) or any kind of goals (that I could understand?). there were multiple different locations in the game, one of them us a kitchen similar to this one, but I'm not sure if I could regularly walk across them, or just click on doors or something to move to another location.
given that I couldn't yet read at the time (I think), I have no memories of its title or the desktop icon, or at least I wasn't able to recall it in any degree for a long time.
I expect that back then there were much fewer games released in a given timespan than today, but I don't even know where could I see even a list of them that I could go through.
edit: just checked mobygames, now I see this is a database like I mentioned. I'll check this, thanks!
edit 2: oh well, it requires a registration and a subscription to browse the games database..
I have also experienced your first problem. It's probably that the game bugs out in some way. apparently gamescope helps to fix it, bit I wasn't able to get it to work on an nvidia based system.
touchscreen use?? what health risks does it have? I can only think of brainrot, but that's not due to touchscreens, but to specific parts of the internet
I have a similar convertible device, and it's almost good with KDE. KDE components switch to a layout with more whitespace and bigger icons so they are easier to touch, and some KDE programs like the file manager also opens a special menu on long press on files that is an easier to use version of the right click menu.
firefox also handles it well, I can easily scroll a page with momentum, but I can also select text.
my device also has a plastic pen (no buttons or battery in it), and linux knows to ignore touch input when the pen is near the screen so that I can rest my palm on it while writing.
but a major pain point is that so far I haven't found a real touch keyboard. there is Maliit, which is much harder to build locally than other programs, and if you get it to work it is hard to use. then there is squeakboard, but last time I was looking into it that depended on wayland protocols that were not implemented yet in KDE's compositor
Oh! you are right, this page works but I didnt realize I need to whitelist scripts and script requests for it.
But even on this view I can only go until the 14th page, where it says the same thing:
Dont you also see this?
