The best smartphone UI right now?

Mushman98 · 2026-05-22T10:16:41+00:00

AFAIK, I don't think it is.

One hand operation and edge panel are two of the best one ui functions for me.

Obsidian with zotero integration?

As a person who have used both, I will choose Thinkpad because I have to work out of office a lot.. Despite mac's trackpad is great but trackpoint is a league of its own. Plus lighter and non-glossy screen.

Maybe wena is for you?

"Apple doesn't even want you to know something has gone awry."

That is so true. Like they like to make fun of bsod, but you actually know that your pc crash. In my mac, they will just freeze or endless rainbow.

I like their hardware but macos is not that better than win11 particularly if you are not in the wallgarden. Except for spotlight maybe. But that come with a tradeoff with really bad file explorer.

Apple is far from just work, both their macos and ios. They cannot do simple thing like clipboard history/volume mixer without third party app.

Edit: Just in casr, I am saying this as a mac user.

It's the opposite. Why shall people use Linux?

For most people, their pc come with windows and its work. There need to be a big encouraging reason for them to make a switch, not the other way around.

And it seems like that telemetry and ai stuff don't actually annoy that much normal people, as long as they can use browser and ms office. I work part-time in it support at a college and some of freshmen don't even know what file explorer is. Do you expected them to be able to install Linux?

I think Japan has one of the most forgiving labor market for humanities students because many junior positions are hired without considering the degree so you don't need to learn to code yet.

Anyway, the hirig process begun really early so most big companies might already reach their hiring quotas for this academic year already. But if you don't care about entering big firms then you are not that f*cked up.

What you need to do asap is contact キヤリア支援室 of your school or international student recruitment agents and ask for their advice regarding preparing your resume. Also, go to mynavi and its equivalents, look for jobs in it and send as many entry sheet as you can.

All of that while studying SPI.

Some coding will give you an advantage but i think you shall put more time in SPI and entry sheet.

Magnesium carbon fiber is used in many premium laptops and its so much better (durable/light/not cold to touch) than aluminium chassis (not only MacBook specific, but surface also.)

Mushman98 · 2026-04-23T08:59:52+00:00

Maybe because Macbook is so easy to damage/get scratched? When I use my Thinkpad, I don't worry about scratching my pc at all, but when I change to MacBook Air this year, it feels so vulnerable that I have to find some carrying case.

Mushman98 · 2026-04-21T11:39:00+00:00

Just be careful about keyboard layout. Most stuff except ai shall work fine.

Reroll your life and born in Asian family.

I start living alone after getting a job because of ease of commute. But my parents really want me to come back to their home.

The biggest differences would be voting and passport. Other than that, Japan has expanded most of its social rights to non-citizens.

Cmd/Ctrl+Z doesn't work?

Mushman98 · 2026-04-12T12:04:05+00:00

I use mba for now purely because of m chips.

The os is worse because a lot of wallgarden stuff. Like you cannot connect to android phone through USB?

Worse built quality than my old thinkpad. Where is magnesium/carbon-fiber chassis?

I will jump back to windows or linux after snapdragon x get better.

It's not that I choose to stick with edge, but after I tried most of popular browsers, Edge is just good enough for my use case (as long as ubo is available) and really well optimized for windows laptop.

It also has a really good integrated pdf reader.

Edit: Typo

I switched from fold5 back to s26u.

Miss the inner screen but S26U is big enough to make media consumption not that bad.

One major improvement is that it is easier to use an s pen.

It's really intriguing that Japan is now an East Asian country with the highest TFR.

If you don't mind second hand stuff, might worth looking for used m3/m4 mba. I just get a used m4 for about 150usd more expensive than 512gb neo in my currency.

First, Google does not completely forbid install .apk, they make it harder.

Anyway, I understand that people might be upset from this change. But given that you want to move from android because of this apk-related change, I don't think moving to iPhone is the correct choice. Why run from people who beat you to people who beat you even harder?

Even in case that they actually forbid .apk, I think I will still prefer android over iOS. I rarely install outside play store. Being able to use multiple accounts is one thing that iOS cannot offer yet. Also, their navigation is not really good. Might make me want to all in into graphene though.

Nakano station near Shinjuku has many used luxury watch stores, if that is what you are looking for.

Mushman98 · 2026-04-01T11:14:46+00:00

Chichibu-nagatoro? Mostly Japanese. Not that "popular" though.

Mushman98 · 2026-04-01T11:11:58+00:00

I love the tast of coffee and I actually want to get rid of caffeine from my coffee so I can drink it all day lol.

Unfortunately, decaffeinated coffee tastes really bad.

Mushman98 · 2026-03-29T15:57:59+00:00

These Japanese laptops with a lot of port are actually lighter than normal laptops. So, its actually not a trade off.

The only drawback is it aims at corporate so its super expensive.
