Weight is definitely old of those things that you only notice when you notice but it’s still just a nice to have rather that critical feature. Like a more ergonomic keyboard etc. Many good parts make a good machine.

You need internals protected from basic shock. Macbooks are notoriously very poor regarding drops while you can play volleyball with a plastic thinkpad.

Hard disagree, macbooks have some of the most unergonomic and awful frame design. The sharp corner alone are just so peak stupidity.

I think people fall for “heavy == quality” falacy way too often here especially since the aluminum frame is actually worse at protecting the internals.

Not sure what you mean by that? Macbooks aren’t good laptops to begin with.

It does make a difference, especially when the gains are so massive. Personally I don’t care much for it but free weight loss is free weight loss. Hopefully this tech gets adopted by other laptop brands.

Tbf half the weight is huge gains. There a big difference between carrying 2 kilograms and 1.

I agree, LG is a pretty awful brand all around but I really like the idea of new lighter materials used in consumer hardware. Moving away from plastics to metal frames has been nothing but a fashion mistake.

I don’t think your personal anecdote is grounded in any meaningful reality. Laptop tech has been mostly solved for better part of a decade now and even cheap aliexpress laptops are built well enough to hold for years.

Most non-gaming laptops since 2010 don’t really make noticeable noise

Honest question - why do you prefer this?

There’s nothing bleeding edge in cars these days except for security and drive train features. I have 2 cars - new EV and 15 year old economy Toyota and honestly aside from drive train itself there’s nothing I can find in the new car that makes me feel like my old car is missing something important.

Car technology has stagnated so bad that “deny list” approach makes no sense since the innovation potential is so incredibly poor. We lose safety and uniform UX for what? Fashion? It’s kinda stupid.

Good, it’s such an incredibly stupid design. Literally no one was bothered by a slight handle for better UX.

Oh wow so it’s not even 35 usd of actual value. Crazy

Apparently personal data was only worth 35 usd in vouchers lol

We’ve seen awful practices in data breach compensation but this feels like satire

It makes huge difference. I’m on Fold since Fold 4 and would never go back to a slab phone mostly because I just read books or text web/social media. The square display is perfect for this as you get proper 80-120 character lines with large font and enough space for media etc.

I’m confused - this seems like idiomatic way to add new features in activity pub? What’s actually missing here?

TLD is 5$ per year - the decision is purely vanity and nothing about this is smart or practical.

it actually stands for country of Mali but tankies are right there engaging in imperialism and failing to see the irony lol

The best part. ML losers got the domain because “paying 5$ a year for TLD is capitalism!” and then in 2023 free .ml domains were discontinued because surprise surprise - it was a stupid idea lmao

What a bunch of mega losers lemmy.ml is.

I call them mega losers

• Spotify for social and casual listening
• Tidal for curated personal music listening time
• brain.fm and endel for background music
• youtube music for rare finds
• youtube premium for tv music like tiny desk concerts and party tv
• mp3 through bone conducting earphones for workout, especially water sports. I try not to take my phone to avoid distractions.

Yet $TSLA stock just keeps going up. Remember when news like this would actually mean something in the stock market? America’s economy is like 🤏 this close to collapse because everything is fake and nothing matters.
