  Screens nowadays have anti-reflective coatings to make the brightness of a reflection far, far less than the actual light source if you looked directly at it.

  So… You say you need a matte screen for the increased brightness to work?

  You must have a pretty specific workflow that fails so completely using Microsoft Office.

  My company provides latex templates, so I’m using those. They also provide a gitlab instance, so working collaboratively is easy and reliable.

  The second point is that as has already been mentioned, you can keep using the computer after the software support ends, that doesn’t really work for most subscription software.

  Fair point.

  An admittedly excellent office suite

  Every time some colleague uses office and I’m forced to hop on as well it feels like my whole workflow just grinds to a halt and there’s nothing that I’d want more than to throw my laptop out the window… There’s not much else that I hate with the same passion like ms Office. “Admittedly excellent”? What?

  without a digital use by date

  What? Apple just drops devices at some point.

  From that article:

  Graphic screen-printing is widely used today to create mass- or large-batch produced graphics, such as posters or display stands. Full colour prints can be created by printing in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black).

  It’s still subtractive.

  Would you be so kind to point me to the position in the article that explains how they use rgb?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey dude, is everything okay? It’s just the Internet and just a discussion about printing and colours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t use rgb in print.

  I fantasize about massive pristine convenience. Brilliant gold taps, virginal white marble, a seat carved from ebony, a cistern full of Chanel No. 5, and a flunky handing me pieces of raw silk toilet roll. But under the circumstances I’ll settle for anywhere.

  Played the demo a bit. I really enjoyed the mechanics illustrated here. Felt like a modern roguelike with a license I’d enjoy.

  The one thing that stood out negatively for me was the art direction. Especially the character design. It’s one thing to not have the original faces, which is fair. I guess it’s some rights oddities with actors and actresses owning their own likelihood or something. But the movement is stiff and they just feel kind of… I don’t know, “dead” would be a hard word, but it kind of fits. I would have preferred a more comic-like appearance or something. Maybe a bit like the tf2 characters? That wouldn’t require the high budget that’s needed to make a human look decent which then never works anyway and always ends up deep in the uncanny valley. I also would have preferred a more abstract look of the systems, like an astrometrics map or something, with views that show actual models more true to scale (e.g. like the look of homeworld).

  I’m too busy to play video games right now anyway, so I guess I’d wait for a sale either way, but it still feels like the game could have worked better for me, personally, if a few decisions in the design process had been made differently.

  Hiking? I mean, the world is just out there.

  Other outside activities that need minimal equipment come to mind. You ever played discgolf? Or went running? Or geocaching?

  But yeah, lots of activities aren’t expensive. Draw something. Paint something. Sing! Or do some sports! Yoga only requires a mat if you do it naked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Car Is Becoming a Brick: EVs are poised to age like smartphones.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, none of what you say is wrong. It’s just not the point. There were other options besides tesla - and while they were different (e.g. I’m well aware of the small golf battery), they were there.

  You say that for you it was the only decent option. Fine. But not the point. Maybe your usage profile warranted what tesla offered. But “Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then” is just wrong. That’s all I said.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Car Is Becoming a Brick: EVs are poised to age like smartphones.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s literally their point?

  Regular cars are capable of lasting until they literally break down and die.

  These don’t exist anymore. If they do, it doesn’t matter if they move by burning fossils or electricity. It’s not a matter of EVs being movable smart devices that will be left behind eventually, it’s a matter of cars being like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Car Is Becoming a Brick: EVs are poised to age like smartphones.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then.

  Absolutely not.

  I bought a BEV back then. It was a VW Golf. Still driving it. The leaf, eNiro and i3 were contenders for me.
