  Right, so different boards, ssd chips, ram generations, even the displays make a difference since newer panels are more efficient on average. Absolutely inexcusable.

  Btw among the W10 devices they even put an Intel “Y”, a cpu with 3.5-7W TDP 😂. I have one of those and it’s the worse computer I ever used, recently revived with CachyOS because thankfully it has the x86v3 instructions (=it’s not too old)

  Lol and the one with W11 it’s an Intel Ultra, aka the ones made with the modern lithographies at TSMC (like the AMD Ryzens, Apple Ms, etc)

  Thanks :) here it is. Or search “origami letter”

  I was kidding mostly but while travelling I did recently make, out of basically waste paper, an origami gift card holder I was proud of :) it opens up in the back and you can slide out the card. I can look for the website with instructions if you’re interested

  I’m exclusively on Pinterest 100hours/week. (I forgot to close the tab with the image search for cool origami)

  Just joking cause you wrote ‘making photos’ instead of taking :) so cool that you’re using a Linux phone!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sorry, I'm genuiely terrible at making photos⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry, I think it’s easier to take them anyway instead of making them from scratch :P

  Thanks good to know

  Many car “keys” are wireless tokens nowadays (tbf I’m not sure of the security compared to traditional keys, I only heard some brands like Kias were very easy to steal in the last few years).

  Mostly we want a million buttons with tactile feedback, I’m with OP! I would also like an EV “econobox”: a sensible shitty boxy lightweight car with a small LiFePo4 battery that charges fast. Spend 100$ more dollars on the charger and cooling goddammit, or make THAT upgradable!

  You’re not wrong at all, the worst part is even the “cleanest” of fuels will need to be refined, trasported (burning more fuel and rubber). If one were to live in the middle of nowhere without electricity or sun or wind or geothermal etc…then it starts making sense. So almost never

  croc is great, works even when devices cant find each other on the network, or with gigantic folders (I use it between computers).

  Or Simplex chat, I dont use it to chat but only to quickly share between phone and laptop :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Furiosa’s CGI Looks More Fake Than Mad Max Fury Road⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was interested in the “non-traditional” fps of Fury Road so here’s the relevant part from wikipedia, they actually used less than 24 for most of the movie.

  According to Seale, “something like 50 or 60 percent of the film is not running at 24 frames a second, which is the traditional frame rate. It’ll be running below 24 frames because George, if he couldn’t understand what was happening in the shot, he slowed it down until you could … Or if it was too well understood, he’d shorten it or he’d speed it up back towards 24. His manipulation of every shot in that movie is intense.”[75] The Washington Post noted that the changing frame rate gives the film an “almost cartoonishly jerky” look.[76]

  Hey, at least installing a foss browser won’t slow down your phone like a spyware app, you could always try something like Mull even for only a portion of your browsing if you have ~80MB to spare. I suggest it because I hate some of that extra bullshit that comes with standard Firefox. Also there’s tons of projects that try similar stuff with Chromium! Like Mulch. Way better defaults than Chrome
