I don’t really mind. The only high bandwidth thing I use on my work laptop is the USB-C for my displays. If I ever plug something into the rest of the ports, it would be a mouse/keyboard/headset and none of those require anything more than USB 2.0.

I’m a programmer, but I feel like I’ve heard this outside of this field.

Self-respect mostly (at least what’s left of it).

NVMe in a phone would be something ridiculously inefficient both because of the form factor and the power draw.

This can IMO be both good and bad. Good if they take the existing design, thicken the body to make it flush with the camera modules and put a larger battery in that space; bad if they use the existing design and make the cameras thinner so that there’s no bump.

But hey, we can’t talk much sense to manufacturers who are happy if we buy a new toy every year…

Baklava is love, baklava is life.

Imagine a case similar to what we had about the default web browser on Windows.

Don’t get attached to a company unless it’s your own gig.

If you get fired and you’re good, you’ll get hired again within weeks.

That’s kinda ironic given how they’re moving towards very similar looking main icons for their apps.

Fair enough, whatever works for you - but I feel like this is more of an exclusion and the majority of people are just too lazy to set their monitor brightness properly.

My problem is kind of the opposite - most light themes I’ve seen are too contrasty and I can’t discern the different colours all that well, moreover too much contrast is tiring to my eyes. Black text on white background is about the same as white text on black background. Most of the time I prefer dark themes, but those with low or medium contrast.

I’ve thought about this as well, but I haven’t been able to find such a light sensor.

There are actually some models already with a built in ambient light sensor. I don’t know how much of a convenience it would be, whether it would be distracting if small changes in ambient light make the brightness go up and down all the time. I personally prefer changing it manually - I have a macro pad with knobs which are mapped to do that.

Limmy pls.

Controversial opinion: if your monitor is set to the proper brightness for the room’s ambient light, light or dark theme becomes a matter of preference. If you’re in a completely dark room with your brightness set to 100%, then of course a light theme won’t work.

It’s not even that much of a pain. I’m mostly dealing with TypeScript, very rarely vanilla JavaScript, and it’s even enjoyable most of the time.

Eh, whatever. It puts food on the table…

Yes, indeed, I see javascripts in the wild every day.

Custom icon packs for the win!

I’m a hobbyist photographer. Facebook and Instagram are my main outlets to show off my work right now. While (fortunately) my livelihood doesn’t depend on that hobby, I’d still rather have the online presence.
