@lemmy.worldStandardize plurals!
It's all right otherwise. Not phenomenal, but not crap. The specs you can get with other laptops. The hardware feel isn't as good as a Dell XPS or an X1 Carbon. The expansion card stuff is kinda cool, but other laptops have ports too. I've never swapped out the cards.
The main reason I bought this laptop is repairability. If that's not your main priority, then I probably wouldn't recommend this laptop.
If you want to use this laptop with Linux and not spend time fixing hardware compatibility issues, then I definitely would not recommend this laptop. Definitely get a Dell XPS for a Linux laptop that Just Works.
Agreed! Not saying it's not a software issue. Of course the software is broken. Of course I wish it was updated.
But, Framework seeing the landscape and picking hardware with known issues is a bad choice. They could offer lower DPI and eliminate entire pages of workarounds and half fixes.
Yes, high DPI should work, but it doesn't everywhere. That's just the reality, I wish it wasn't.
Blurry and tiny apps come from Framework's poor choice of display. Other laptops don't have this problem.
Yes, I'm aware of software-side issues, but it's still their fault for seeing the software issues and then picking a broken display anyway.
HiDPI has to be supported by all toolkits, desktops, and applications at this point. There are no excuses.
I mean... yeah, I agree. Would you mind sending that email to the millions of devs around the world? Not sure if they're aware of this.
I just want to be able to read my screen. 😭
If it meant I could actually see my apps because they're not blurry and not tiny. Then hell yeah! Luckily, it's not a choice between all the DPI and none of the DPI.
It's possible.
I use Gboard. I really want to like the FUTO keyboard, but it unfortunately sucks for typing. Not sure what magic secret sauce Gboard has, but with the FUTO keyboard I basically mistype almost every word. Maybe Gboard has some tap target corrections or something? I've tried pushing through with the FUTO keyboard for about a month, but I think I'm ready to uninstall it. )`:
if you’re forced to make your order $35 to get free shipping, you’re likely buying stuff you don’t want/need just to get to that amount.
Nnnnooo. I'm pretty sure I need toilet paper. My order was $33 for the main stuff I needed to buy and then I threw in toilet paper to push the order over $35. I needed that anyway.
Also, you could ask your spouse if anything else is needed around the house. Also, also, you could just wait until you need something else and batch the orders into 1 order over $35, instead of ordering a bunch of single $5 items.
If you really need something urgently, then it's perfectly fine to pay for shipping. But this probably doesn't happen very often.
It's really not that hard. You should try it. Cancel Prime for 3 months. If you hate living without it after 3 months, then you can resubscribe. There's no penalties.
OMG YES. I canceled my subscription 2-3 years ago and I've never once thought about resubscribing!!! Highly recommend. 99% of the time I still get free shipping because I exceed the $30 threshold. If I don't, then I'll just add an item to the cart and wait until I need something else. If it's something urgent, then I do pay for the shipping, but it's still way cheaper than $139 per year. Bro, it's fine.
I don't care about Prime Video or Music, so for me it 1000000% made sense to cancel.
I hate that Amazon tries to trick me into signing up for Prime on every purchase, but that just pisses me off even more and makes it less likely for me to consider signing up.
