we need a state owned and produced hardware with all the rights apps! the bible, wikipedia and Settings for turning down brightness

not if they manage to find a screw head that can only be opened by a clean, minimalist, proprietary, expensive Apple screwdriver

You joke but...

At first it looks like a normal torx head, but then you realize it has 5 lobes instead of 6. Apple used these on early iPhone models when you actually could open them with this proprietary screwdriver.

> That's insanely impressive.

literally every app they need, except the browser, at least have 10 alternatives that are FOSS, much more mature, better structured and prone to be bug free... or do you really think the OP with months/years of use won't need some other feature and will re-invent the wheel on software that is around for more than a decade with hundreds of bug reports done (i3 wm was released in 2009)

Does that mean what he says is less valuable?

> Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.

Said by a monster himself, but doesn't make it any less true.

In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

because whales can communicate into the thousands of kilometers range and nowadays, because of marine traffic, they are luck to get into the hundred meters

and so on. maybe the number is much worse

would like to know about the scrape content of these castles /j

unless you screen is OLED, dark-mode has no or zero impact on battery usage, maybe even non-significant impact on OLEDs

HP Envy does have OLED screen options. I'd assume it's what they have, if they thought dark mode was relevant.

Don't most LCD screens have localised dimming of the backlight these days?

Not laptops. Local dimming zones look awful when you have a white cursor moving around, so it's mostly still just a TV-feature

Looking awful has not prevented local dimming from becoming quite common on laptops. Apple has been doing an okay job of it in the MacBook Pro for several years. Lots of Windows laptops have been very hit-or-miss about it, but at least with those you often have an OLED option. I've seen multiple Windows laptops from more than one OEM where opening a terminal window with light text on a dark background means you can easily spot a single line of text getting much dimmer toward the center of the dark window, and lighter near the perimeter where it's close to other light content. And that's for static content; as you mentioned motion can bring more problems as the backlight lags behind the LCD.

so why not offer season passes and lootboxes for special UI on interfaces? /j
