Someone certainly has… IBM and Lenovo themselves! Both have sold external ThinkPad keyboards over the years that are (in some cases) literally laptop keyboards, with a TrackPoint, in housing.

Ctrl+F: “thread” “conversation” zero results

I feel like people have forgotten how email worked before, when webmail providers were emulating the desktop client model of “received messages go in Inbox, Sent folder is for sent.” Gmail’s conversation view was shockingly intuitive, one of those “why hasn’t it always been this way?” things that feels so obvious in retrospect.

Sounds like there already was.

It’s worth noting that a number of other providers now sell S3-compatible storage services that are completely separate from Amazon, but let you interact with them using any of the S3 tools that have sprung up.

Thanks, deleted my comment. I saw a second person on the thread who had the price quoted to them, but I didn’t see context on whether or not they were getting a mobo replaced as well.

A few years back they sold me a box of onions covered in everything bagel seasoning. I’m doing my part!

Whose entire life was in a… what?

I think we’re focusing on different aspects. My comment was limited to the way main menus worked — “Play feature” or whatever would just about always be the pre-selected option. I was replying to this:

Those old DVD menus that wanted me to mess with extras sucked.

99% of DVD menus would have the “Play movie” pre-selected, letting you activate it with a single press of the Play or Select button.

I agree with this, but in open source there’s an extra layer of complexity: the “I don’t care about market share” dev attitude that’s sometimes admirable and sometimes frustrating.

Agreed, it’s such a poor summary of the article that I can’t tell if it’s an intentional strawman argument.

Be so bold.

Same deal here. Text is too big, tool icons are just about right, brushes and patterns are microscopic.

Not for everyone, but if “collection of perl scripts” sounds like your jam, GnuPod still works for a CLI option.

(For Android)

This door is already open, as GPS location is easily faked. Android, for example, has an easily-accessed developer setting for manually specifying a device location.

I was given a sous vide machine as a gift, only a power button on the device and no way to control it outside of an Android/iOS app over Bluetooth or WiFi. Not something I’d ever buy for myself thanks to the lack of manual controls (even though the experience of using the app is honestly very nice), but I’ve been preparing myself for the day it just stops working.

Hah! All good, I know exactly what that one feels like!
