I think there's a difference between cancelled (or renamed in the case of Google Home and Nexus) product lines and something no longer working. Most of that list falls into the former, but otherwise probably work fine.

This Googlebook will probably be a lot like the Pixelbook. Probably cancelled after 1 generation, but still usable for 5-10 years as you'd expect from a laptop.

No they won't. Oracle already has many teams that report to a people manager in India/Mexico/etc. and then dotted line report to another manager in the USA who actually calls the shots.

I've been using Rectangle (https://rectangleapp.com/) for years now. IMO the shortcuts actually make it a massive improvement over Windows.

How do you bird-proof them?

This specific paper is pretty different to the kind of photo/video generation that has been hyped up in recent years. In this case, I think this might be what they're using for the iOS spatial wallpaper feature, which is arguably useless but is definitely an aesthetic differentiator to Android devices. So, it's indirectly making money.

> Yes, this is something concrete that I can agree on. But how would you prove that given that we don't have access to that data?

Without that data you can't really draw any conclusion can you? For all we know companies are hiring a higher percentage of American workers now. All we know from the data shown is that companies are hiring some new H1-B holders and retaining a lot of existing H1-B holders.

Interesting to see this is so variable.

I got a Steam Deck OLED a few months ago. I haven't changed the standby behaviour at all. I can get a bit less than a week of standby + a few hours of gaming out of the box. Currently, my deck is on 52% charge after last charging it 4 days ago and playing ~3 hours of Silksong across those days.

I believe they mean it lasts 14+ hours in sleep.

I get where you're coming from, but I think you need to understand that the vast majority of people (conservatively maybe >95%) are perfectly fine with using Amazon. If you just start metaphorically punching all of them you won't convince them of anything. I don't think you can really make something socially poisonous that way without a significant group of people, in socially powerful positions, already agreeing with you.

I think you're overestimating how many people think like you on both of these topics (iOS/Android and Amazon).

I love Dear Hank and John, but IMO it's nothing like 99PI.

AFAIK the average emissions are based on cars that were actually sold. So yeah, it's weighted for popularity in a way.

Apart from IBM Power/AIX systems, SPARC/Solaris is another one. I wouldn't say either of these are used a lot, but there's a reasonable amount of legacy systems out there that are still being supported by IBM and Oracle.

The expectation is that anyone looking at Pimoroni products will probably just 3D-print (or produce in some other way) a case. They're not trying to sell this as a finished product.

That's the point though? They're trying to show off the functionality of the display/board to interest you in using it for a side project (might not even be a calendar).

Pimoroni's entire target market is hobbyists, educators and people who want to do bespoke things with electronics. They're not interested in buying finished products because they either enjoy working on projects or it would be too limiting for their needs or both.

If you just want a finished product buy one of the other countless e-ink calendar displays that exist.
