Windows 10 had a tablet mode. Windows 11 does not - it just appropriately scales up the padding and size of some UI controls to make them easier to tap.

Agreed. It also requires that you unlock your phone.

The Wallet app prompts you to set this up when you initially add the transit card too, IIRC.

Same in Berlin. I think the reasoning is that it'd cost more money to fit ticket gates compared to loss of revenue from fare evaders.

Makes for such a smooth journey as most people are doing the right thing.

Nice! I’m writing in C this year too, although I’m very much a beginner in C.

What kinds of optimisations have you had to do? Are you hosting your code anywhere?

I love browsing the Strange Loop channel on YouTube. So many interesting topics that you wouldn’t normally search for!

Yes, but you'll also need space for a rack and contend with noise, heat, and electricity usage.

Don't get me wrong -- I love my Dell R730xd but it's definitely a commitment.

I'm disappointed that the three photos in the Gallery with the laptop in use aren't actually showing what the screen would look like IRL; they've been cleverly doctored by overlaying screenshots on top of the display.

Thanks for posting! Gave me a good chuckle at the beginning of my day, and I miss tiny projects that don't need to aspire to be the next big thing.

Although, I'm not sure if the game or some of the comments here is more entertaining...
