That's good news - the headphone jack is essential to me, but the reason that my next phone won't be a Samsung is because Samsung disables Android's native multiple user profile feature.

Not all of us, but the majority of us do.

The majority of the English like strong, essentially unopposed governance. They like be to be able to choose the g'vner occasionally, but they don't want multiple powerful factions.

Well the LibDems are going to say that but they are not going to win. The other two parties aren't - Labour is going split in half. The Tories might see defections, but will stay together and press ahead with Brexit in the hope of a massive majority.

It's mostly done for economic reasons, but there is a social aspect to sharing too. More so on couchsurfing than airbnb, and i generally prefer to chat to a part time uber driver than to a full time taxi driver.

Yup, some folks can have the occasional drink or drink socially. Some folks need to swear off the stuff entirely. For carboholics, probably swearing off refined carbs would be enough.

You can get high on carbs or alcohol sure enough. Try getting high on protein or fat though.

Telling carboholics they need to eat less food is like telling alcoholics they need to drink less liquid. It doesn't work - you've got to be more specific.

I'm enthusiastic about the potential for this technology but I don't like either of these options. I feel like both the customer and the product. I'd like an open source, neutral voice assistant that is working for me, not trying to exploit me.

Probably something to do with the market supplying what the customer wants, and the customer being uneducated. Like me . . . If I had seen a 26 inch high desk when I was purchasing the thing, I probably would have passed on it . . would have thought it too low at the time.

I'm sitting here with my keyboard in my lap. I've recently noticed it is a lot more comfortable too. I'm alternating with keyboard on lap to mouse on lap depending on what I'm doing.

This hands at lap level seems crucial, I don't know how I've missed it for so long. However a laptop doesn't strike me as ideal unless coupled with a monitor at eye level as I'd be looking down constantly.

Thanks, I may switch partially to a standing desk, but I do wonder how much of the gain could be achieved with a correctly adjusted sitting desk.

Thanks for the detailed reply.

If, at 5'10, I am experiencing problems related to desk height, I can only imagine problems are worse for those shorter. I wonder if there is a correlation between height and these kind of problems. Standard desk height seems to be designed for someone who is 6'2.

I was considering adding a keyboard tray, but I'm thinking that I mostly use my desk for a keyboard and mouse, I might as well optimize the desk for that use rather than having an add-on for that purpose.
