• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo is removing the iconic Trackpoint with its new ThinkPad X9⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still love the trackpoint and use it almost exclusively if the notebook is not connected on the docking station.

  It is just awesome if you can control the mouse while still keeping the hands on the middle of the keyboard.
  It’s so much faster than to kove up and down and also more ergonomic, especially in the train when the laptop sits on my lap.
  The middle button enables easy scrolling on webpages (although the vim browser extention makes it even easier ther) or documents…

  Nothing else I used was able to beat this setup. And I used a lot of different devices over the tome

  Yes the fines are not high enough. IMHO there should be two payments: a return of all earnings which are related to the violation PLUS a hefty fine and/or jail for the executives

  That’s the only way it isn’t cost efficient for the big companies to ignore the laws. Also, make sure the fines are actually paid in full and in a reasonable amount of time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electric Cars Could Last Much Longer Than You Think - Rather than having a shorter lifespan than internal combustion engines, EV batteries are lasting way longer than expected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably something to do with the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) based on that you can calculate how long your stuff lasts and how you should schedule repairs, or in that case, how long you can provide warranty. I’d be intetested in the numbers for the jump from 8 -> 15, too

  Or greenshot, is also quite versatile

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk is lightyears away from a self-driving car⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m happy to dunk on musk as much as the next guy, but that title is bull.

  Lightyears measure distance not time, how can they mess that up?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Token2 is an open-source Swiss FIDO2 security key that brings innovative features at a cheaper price⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Found them when I was looking for a fido key, and was really happy sonce it allowed me to get a handfull of them (mostly usb mini) Their service is also quite good

  Only sad thing is, that the duo (with usb-a and usb-c) is quite big, so i usually just carry the usb-a & nfc with me. Works for everthing except my mbp
