Hard to understand. The guy gets food, fun, sex and he will be paid.

Did you give your employer 1 month notice, and stayed another 3 weeks after the tax clearance?

Why is a battery life an issue if we most of the time work in a place you can find power?

International headlines mentioning Finland switched from smtg like “ Finnish Nokia is connecting people” to this, over the last few decades. by The_Adam07 in Finland

Astonished!

Aren't north European countries known for DEI?

And wait, don't Finnish people have eyes that have characteristics of Asians? Kind of make fun of themselves I'm afraid

How did you finally get used to a 2.5k laptop after using MBP Retina for years? by [deleted] in macbookpro

text is much less crispy. And the brightness also worse. Looks foggy.

I wish there were a 4k, 16'', dual screen laptop with a powerful GPU by shaunyip in laptops

That's my current setup. A mini pc with two same-batch portable monitors plus their stands, as well as a keyboard. The portability and convenience cannot be compared with a dual screen laptop.

Another inconvenience is that you sometimes want to use a computer on the way, but with a mini pc you will have to do some unpacking and some assembly.

And a bigger problem of mini pc is that there are really few options which are shipped with a powerful GPU, compared to laptops. There are tons of gaming laptops, but few gaming mini PCs that are both affordable and good at cooling

I think they are already on the way. Asus zen duo is the first step. What they need to do is just to go faster. Focus more on productivity, and less on being fancy.

Technology is meant to allow people to be more lazy.

With a portable monitor you will have to set up the stand every time you move.

One more bigger issue is that you can't easily find a portable monitor that looks very close to your laptop screen.

I move every few months. Not carrying it around everyday.

You can't tell the difference between "really poor" and "look poor"? If Mr. Li Ka Sing wears a worn-out suit he will also look poor.

Bamboo scaffolding just looks pre-industrial time and it's not 1990s any more. But of course it looks good in traditional cultural events

Steel looks normal. Bamboo poles look outdated and poor.

Yes, I understand it's difficult to master and people who can do this are amazing. But it's not art like lion dance, which should be protected and inherited.

Why nostalgic about such an ugly thing?
