People who preorder a phone are out of their fucking mind, simple as that.

Gulikit makes controllers with hall effect joysticks that are immune to stick drift. I don't have one of those, but I have their hall effect joysticks for the steam deck and they're very nice.

You read it in a particularly stupid-sounding voice to mock stuff you disagree with.

Because cold water isn't free. If you want to create something cold, you want to be using a conpressor and at that point, you can just skip the water step and use an AC.

And then there's Zangendeutsch, where germans replace every single loanword with a calque. It doesn't matter how much sense it makes, all that matters is that it's technically correct.

Back in the day when mobile data was multiple euros per megabyte, I had an ipod 4G as my first 'smartphone'. The UI was unbelievably smooth for the time but I found the OS very limited, so I jailbroke it and tinkered a lot with it. After the release of the iphone 6, apple shipped an update to my ipod that made it super slow. Most games that would run perfectly before became unplayable over night.

That day I made a decision to not buy or recommend any apple devices. Android was great back then, so I never looked back.

A couple of months ago, my dad got an iphone for work and after playing around with it for 20 minutes, I wondered how anyone uses this. The UI is very slow and glitchy compared to my oneplus 8 (which is a 3 year old phone at this point) even when I switch my phone to 60hz to make it fair.

It always just seemed like I'm fighting against the system. Never did I have that "it just works" moment, until I've got my first Android, and realize I have the freedom to do whatever I want with it, and I can install what I want, and if there's a problem, I can look things up and fix it myself.

I very much agree with that statement and find myself in the exact same position with windows, so I've switched to linux. It's genuinely incredible how much better it is after gaining a few dozen hours of experience with it.

Keyboards are generally known about, but the ergo part of it is a rabbit hole within the rabbit hole. Some people literally design, 3D print, wire up, solder and program one-off keyboards because they don't like the ones made by other people.

Of course its run by valve, who else do you think would run it?

Running an unlicensed online casino aimed at children and supporting a network of other unlicensed online casinos aimed at children.

But other than that I'd say he's hard to hate.

It meant getting root access to the device, which means you can do anything you want. People would get apps for free, install ones that aren't on the app store and customize their home screen in ways that Apple doesn't allow (like placing apps where you want). It's still IOS, just with the ability to screw around under the hood.

For Android, rooting is pretty much the same thing and it's still common.

With that mindset, nothing will ever get accomplished. As Louis Rossmann often says: We, the people, are who can change the culture and that's what matters most.

Now all we can do is convince as many people as we can to use firefox instead of putting up with this bullshit.
