Yes, and you need the subscription. There’s only a yearly plan.

What would be the point? That’s just staying on Windows, with extra steps and lower performance.

Just the name itself sounds like an an angsty teenage dream. Not really selling it there.

Notepad++ has a plugin that makes it the default even for things that would normally be go to Notepad.

Stupid, lazy, overworked, underskilled - it must have been easier to raise us who are adults now, pre Internet, than it is to raise our kids today. And I repeat, tech is not the solution.

Full encryption means privacy. From everyone. For everyone. Please explain to me why that should not be given to minors?

In my view, protecting children online is not inherently a tech problem. It’s a part of parenting.

US LEO are the real ones. In UK+EU they really aren’t murderous villains, many don’t even carry a gun.

And politicians don’t murder, they just fleece us.

I see what you did there 😄

Hah, I get you, man. I left the place almost 25 years ago and nothing after WinXP was good. It irks me that open source Office suites just aren’t good enough (looking at you, Calc) or I’d be using Linux on desktop, too, not just on my servers.

I was the lucky owner of a rare FingerWorks Touchstream keyboard for many years. If you don’t know it, it’s the precursor to the keyboards used in Star Trek Enterprise.

It’s a keyless keyboard. Two large flat mousepads with a keyboard layout printed on top, and you type by pure touch. There’s no mouse; the surface just cleverly detects when you are doing mouse gestures. Or a lot of other gestures.

Trekkie joke aside, it’s actually the magic tech that made the iPhone possible. Of course Apple didn’t invent anything, they bought existing future tech.

I miss that keyboard. They still sell on ebay, for 1400$!

184 billion transistors

My mind broke, reading this. From way back when you could count the transistors by pointing at them with your finger, to hundreds of billions on a postage stamp. How??

Maybe Lexmark? OKI? I vaguely recall there was 1 other not-evil printer company.left.

Otherwise, I’ve heard good things about clay tablets.
