The problem isn't the tooling, ofc you can do it with a block of metal and a lathe and mill, but you may or may not have the skillset to be successful

In contrast a 3D printer is cheap, easy to obtain, and can be operated as simply as download file > send to 3d printer

Huawei has already opened up sales of the Mate XT in China – it’s unlikely it will be sold elsewhere – with a starting price of ¥19999. That’s roughly $2,800 USD, making this device cost about $1,000 more than many book-style foldables available today.

10 inches and 16:11 aspect ratio! ITS SO CLOSE, I want it so bad!

While we're here, who has bets on the first quad folding phone?

While we're at it, let's get back to all metal phones! Screw this glass back shit.

For the "Wireless" charging people:

It's a gimmick, nothing of value is lost

You can swap out centralized energy sources (relatively speaking) overnight as greener sources become cheaper/more available compared to retooling whole industries away from plastic

It's the same thing with electric cars, yea it might plug in now to a dirty energy source, but that energy source could be a green energy source tomorrow without you ever knowing and importantly not having to buy a new car or change any other infrastructure to take advantage of it

A power line is a power line, it doesn't care if the electricity going through it was derived from a dirty power plant or solar or nuclear

What good is a stainless SD card

Better thermal conductivity and in turn dissipation than plastic does tend to longer lasting flash chips, how much this change means in real world practice though remains to be seen

Heat is a flash storage killer of all kinds

But but but "ThEyLl EaT ThE oThEr FlyInG BugS!!!"

I've seen this comic a few times and ma just now noticing the mouse and cat scene playing out on the corner lol

This right here, there's not a whole lot on a PCB that can "explode" on their own, and caps is at the top of that short list. And early 2000s, 90s caps are notorious for this issue

Next ECU you get @Badabinski@kbin.social, check the caps or just replace them anyways. Even high quality ones are not very expensive

How long ago was this?

Many years ago, HP was actually pretty good even on their budget lines of the time. Then those got shitty to keep costs low, and it just creeped up from there until shitty cost cutting was evident throughout all their other lines up through premium business class laptops

Also, HP's bullshit on other areas like Printing is what earned them the top spot

Dell suffers the same enshittification on their laptop lines that HP did, just a bit behind. I cannot tell you how many batteries turned into spicy pillows in just MONTHS after being opened even on their supposed premium business laptops

Lenovo used to be shit, but I've noticed they've stepped their game up the last few years while OTOH Asus is the opposite being good at first but now starting to show signs of enshittification.

Basically, brand loyalty is BS any brand can turn to shit at any time and any brand can go to being a diamond again (Except HP, they've become irredeemable in my eyes) and those business contracts to get bulk discounts serve no purpose other than to lock in IT departments to that specific brand instead of being able to be flexible when the times change

Depends, for companies on a Pro plan or below they have to request it and slack will only approve said request if required to by law or other legal requirement (or consent of user in question)

Above that plan, only Workspace Owner admins specifically can access it. A workspace owner is the one who originally signed up for the plan and users directly designated to be a Workspace Owner from the original one.

Frankly, if it's something that can get you in trouble DON'T use a work thing for it whatsoever! Be it slack, your work computer or work email.

If you want to talk about such things with a coworker, ask for their damn phone number or find them on SM, seriously, keep it off work stuff. There's always a way to access even supposedly private stuff if done on a work device or service.
