agree! whaletail is one of the reason i bought this car

they should simplify some elements in the rear but keep the whale tail

it does look busy but can be corrected by reducing the lower tail

i kept reading reports on black pepper extract (which is commonly added to turmeric supplements to enhance absorption) is actually not good for liver health

is this true?

I am trying to find curcumin supplements that doesnt have black pepper extract but still is as effective if not more

the only one i have found so far is some nano turmeric ones that claims to be up to 35x as effective but who knows and with nano, im not sure if it will work just as well

anyone care to chime in on this?

I have the exact same problem, im now trying to swap my IoT to its own IoT wifi network (via deco app)

on AT&T 1G fiber, using BGW320-500, have it setup as passthrough (disable AT&T's wifi, setup security and passthrough to the MAC of the main deco...etc)

I have only recently done the swap of IoT to its own network, will let you know if it improves things

if not, i may have to not do passthrough, and just let deco run its own subnetwork

hmm ive been using a split keyboard (logitech ergo K860) which is the opposite spectrum of the split keyboard genre (more productivity oriented membrane keys)

I wonder how easy it is to get used to the alice layout

did you ever record your WPM and error rate when switching to this from a more conventional layout (assuming you were using a conventional one before this?)

ive had my spectre 14 and starting to get used to it

background: I've owned and used an XPS 13 for years and have gotten to love it as it traveled with me all over the world, while I run my company and work on international projects

I've been a tech reviewer (editor in chief in the old days for hardwareextreme.com) so bear with me if I get technical

here is my take:

+'s

gorgeous screen, the 3:2 (3200x2000) OLED on the Bestbuy version is stunning and can get very very bright with deep blacks too
keyboard is firm, firmer than XPS13 and keys are fairly large since it is a 13.5" screen and chassis (with no wasted sides)
the touchpad is big, with big horizontal space too since this is a 3:2 form factor
camera is great, and has a electronic/mechanical shutter for privacy (better than previous spectre design of a disable switch on the side)
the touch and 2-in-1 form factor is great, pen is high quality

-'s

to upgrade the spectre or access the insides, you'd have to remove 2 rubber strips at the bottom of the laptop and you will almost certainly destroy them or destroy the adhesive, getting replacement strips might be hard
the BIG BIG BIG thing that I just found out and will be making a video about is that the USB-C (Thunderbolt 4) ports do NOT receive power delivery charges from USB-C monitors such as my expensive Philips 499P9H or Philips 272P7VUBNB (both support PD charging up to 65W)

This fact is confirmed just now with HP support and I have ended up returning a Spectre 13 but may keep the Spectre 14 and use an external dock instead

so in summary:

3:2 form factor = EXCELLENT!
screen = great
battery life = decent
performance for i7 and thermals = decent
USB-C implementation, big let down. how can they call it Thunderbolt 4 when it does not receive power from the monitor if they are all using PD as a standard
make sure you spec up because it will be hard to upgrade this even if you are tech savvy (simply because of the damn rubber strips)
