Autocorrect seems to have gotten noticably worse for me in recent years. I regularly find that the entirely correct words which I type out get changed to something completely different because the autocorrect decided that I couldn't possibly mean that word. It regularly helpfully replaces entire words after I hit space and have moved on to the next. By that time, I'm usually focused on the next word, so slip-ups that I almost never make at a dumb keyboard (like its vs. it's, there vs. their, your vs. you're, or were vs. where vs. wear) happen with shocking regularity unless I proofread the entire comment. As a perfect example, I had to proofread and fix multiple instances of such while typing those examples.

Now. That's pretty much the situation now. If you don't believe me, try and completely remove Edge and Copilot from an updated Windows 11.

Being able to fold down a larger "sheet" display so that it fit in a pocket would be pretty cool. Having extra room for reading things like maps and comic books is so much better than pinching and zooming on a pocket sized display. What you call limited purpose, I call functional design. I'm kind of over all-in-one devices. They've turned into Jack of all trades, but master of none.

Obviously that's not what this device is, but it got me thinking about why I'd want a device with multiple e-ink displays or a foldable display.

What am I gonna do with a bushel of to tomatoes?

But, seriously, my biggest issue with buying from "real" farmer's markets is the gas and time I spend getting there and the ease of buying WAY more than I will realistically be able to actually eat before it goes bad. It's so easy to buy too much (For me anyway, that 's probably just a me problem).

No. Soulseek is old school P2P. All you need to do is run the client software, set a local shared folder, and your are client and server in one. Funkwhale is more like running your own Lemmy instance and building a community. The difference between them is like the difference between using Airdrop or Syncthing to share files and hosting hosting your own domain and server.

By ignoring the second half of their comment you've missed the subtly that "panel" is an overly broad term and there are several different kinds of panels that collect energy from the sun for human use, among them photovoltaics, panels for heating residential water (often seen as black roof panels with pipes), and complex mirror (aka reflective panels) arrangements for melting salts. All of them use panels in some form.

"Current" science is a bit of a stretch, like a couple thousand years of stretching. Eratosthenes showed the earth was round and calculated its circumference to an astonishing precision using research and fairly simple trigonometry. He died 2,219 years ago.

True. True. True. And yet, that market may exist regardless. We'll see I guess.

Not the ones that use these. Most tools are unpractical when you don't understand how to use them.

You're supposed to leave it in the jar when not in use.

That's exactly what AI slop would say.

Those reduced civil rights related to border patrol extend about 200 miles in from every U.S. border.
