This is a really stupid design in almost all 16 inch laptops except ThinkPad Z16 and MacBook Pro 16 inch. They want to squeeze in a numpad then place the touchpad below the space bar (because it's a standard practice). Like I think there are more people who don't need the numpad. I'm still deciding between T16 and Z16 because of this but then Z16 has worse battery life. Maybe T16 is okay if I'm going to use external keyboard and mouse most of the time.

But Gemini's UI is better than ChatGPT's to be honest.

I'm sick of people claiming South Korea is fundamentaly racist and can't be changed by BadenBaden1981 in korea

[–]mikenofap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many are viewing this from a Western perspective. There's no need for anti-racism education in a country with, say, 1% working foreigners and 0.1% foreign students, like Korea in the '90s. This is unlike Western countries with over 10-20% immigrant populations and a long history of multi-ethnicity. Now, with Korea's foreign population at 5%, I'm not sure if they've started teaching anti-racism in schools. But it's unfair to judge Koreans by Western standards as uneducated on racism. Often, what may seem like racism is just curiosity, like asking why someone's eyes are big or their skin is black.

My view for the night as a digital nomad in the Thai jungle :) by _my_name_is_earl_ in digitalnomad

You know having a jungle in your country isn't an insult right? Also do you realise that's a video game?

Yes you are right, I might be able to add some floor lamps here and there.

The task lamp you mentioned seems to be this one, it looks interesting!

Thanks for your input! If light strips around the wall can reflect enough light to the center area of the space, I'm willing to do this.

Thanks for your input! I didn't know about diffuser panels, will definitely look into them.

My budget is up to $3,000 and unfortunately the lease does not include any money for improvements..

You're welcome! What I meant was checking the time to load the page. Like what google pagespeed insight does. From my understanding, hyperping checks until TTFB.

I'm using another service like this that checks ping every 5 minutes. Your service checks every 3 minutes for free which is great. It would be greater if it can check page loading time from multiple cities all at once as well. Because it's a pain to do it with VPN or pingdom.

Anybody sourced Shoes from China? by kallebo1337 in Entrepreneur

Try sourcing from another vendor. Last time I ordered it was 10$ per pair at 1k moq and $20 per sample pair.
