lg's had a good run of being a monitor, their software was a bit shit but the hardware supported e-arc etc.

i've got 2 expensive lg tvs and i bought them because you don't need to use their remote, it just turns on and shows the picture.

Another one not mentioned is trying to book a trip for e.g. 3 people, but only one item of hold luggage. You just can't do it, you have to add it later in an amend-booking. Jet2's not quite as bad, its possible but difficult.

i've only ever owned a 'Surface Laptop 2' and for the time it was excellent, the keyboard and trackpad were both superior to my macbook pro of the time, the screen was great in both brightness and the 3:2 ratio. it was great value.

from all the comments on here it seems like that model was an anomaly and the rest of the product lineup is often pretty lacking.

the 'silent merging' you're talking about is the c in css

if you're writing class="flex-inline width-30 font-large" it's even worse than inline css because it has an abstraction layer and dependencies.

just write css, tailwind has always been total junk.

I hired a peugeot something (MPV) to drive in the french alps and it was insanely dangerous.

Driving mountainous switchbacks with very tight corners it was so strict about not wanting to cross the central line that it frequently tried to dump me into either the mountain or over the cliff.

Similarly on straight 2 lane roads where only really the centre was clear of snow and ice it was adamant that I should be driving with 2 wheels in deep snow instead of daring to drive in the middle.

I've also never seen an ad in windows 11.

I did uninstall all of the weird apps like "News" "Weather" etc.

who's upvoting this, it doesn't say anything at all

i think i just misunderstood the writing, it does explicitly say 4bits for castling. the prose around is just describing what castling is - i thought it was implying that you could determine whether castling is possible from the position of the pieces.

I don't understand the castling part of this - you can move a rook from its starting square and back and castling isn't available - it says that you can determine whether castling is available from the location of the pieces?

i think it's telling that Nullsoft created their own installer for WinAmp and its still 20 years later one of the most sane and popular ways of distributing apps.

rumour has it the next version of windows will be called Microsoft 365 Azure for Desktop XBOX Edition so that each of the executives in the money making sections gets their piece.
