I have a 10" Chuwi Minibook X. It's basically my go to when I go to my kids activities. For me, it's a better alternative than a phone or my tablet. It's small when folded up and weighs very little. The luggability is surprisingly better than my Framework 13. Plus, I have a real keyboard instead of a touchscreen that is surprisingly much better than I expected . That's handy for when I do want to do something more productive. And since it only cost me about $300 or so, I'm much less worried about it getting damaged.

I wouldn't just carry it around with me randomly in public. But, I could if I wanted to. It's a shame there are so few options like it. One of my biggest factors I was looking for was weight and overall footprint.

Such a good song. I have not thought about or listened to that song or album in at least a decade. Thanks for the reference to rekindle my fond memories. Time to go listen to some Bad Religion... :-)

I'm sorry to hear that! My PCP referred me to testing based on a very short conversation and ultimately just because I wanted to be tested and know. I hope you can find a better doctor!

I'm on 128 on my phone. I just checked and both of those are disabled for me.

I had 5 monitors for a bit before changing to a 32:9 monitor for my main monitor which gives me the equivalent of 4 monitors.

As long as the monitors are setup right (e.g. leveraging vertical space and not just horizontal space), I find the desktop real estate to be invaluable.

But, I started doing dual monitors over 20 years ago. So, I'm an early evangelist of multi-monitor and have adopted workflows that greatly benefit from it.

Ah, that's a good point. I was clearly wrong with my comment. Apologies! With your correction on my interpretation, these numbers look unusually off....

It's not per day. The number is cumulative.

Darkly-Compact” theme is amazing

Yes! Thank you for pointing that out! I just swapped over and and feeling right at home. It's a much better use of horizontal space compared to the default theme.

I think it's more nuanced than that. Personally, there are a couple of reasons for me. Though, I have already purged my account and deleted it. First, I spent a long time on Reddit. It was a part of my daily habits for more than 12 years. Though, I think getting a way from it is not a bad thing in the case of the reason. The second reason that is more difficult to change with anything other than time is the communities. There are a lot of smaller niche communities on Reddit that really only have a home there. It's this one that bothers me the most out of the whole situation.

That's great news! I intend to watch it closely as it progresses. Thank you for sharing the links.

I have not switch over my Steamdeck to Windows 11. But, I did pick up an ROG Ally b/c I apparently lack impulse control. IMO, the experience with Steam OS on Steam deck is far and above Windows 11 on a similar-ish handheld.
