There are already small PCs without a GPU for around $200–300, and this will cost at least 2-3 times that. Valve already comfirmed, that the pricing will not be 'console like' and would match entry level PC. And PS5 is $500.

But it is builtin android feature. You connect to laptop and notification pop up asking if you want to mount as usb transfer mode or just charge.
> is it a skill issue that swiping from the left goes back to the previous page and swiping from the right also goes back to the previous page?
Its probably your specific vendor option and you certainly can change it. But its definetly not universal android thing as it doesnt do anything from edge swipe by default.
> is it a skill issue that google translate requires me to have the google search app installed?
Its just regular app - it doesnt need anything additional.
> and that the google search app puts a big fuck off search bar in the middle of my home screen
Apps which places widgets on homescreen asks for permission unless you checked a checkbox to always allow.
And all widgets can be removed from the screen anyway. These is no such thing as mandatory non removable widgets in Android.
So yeah, it looks like a skill issue if you are more familiar with how another system works and doesnt want to invest to figure out how to do the same in the Android. The UI is different and less familiar for you, but you can literaly do all the things as on iPhone, just in a different way.
I would love to have both. The scroll wheel is convenient when I’m driving, but the touchscreen would make entering a new address much easier, as it’s very annoying to do now by scrolling, and voice dictation doesn’t work well in my language.
I do agree with that, and the newer Mazdas let the screen act as a touch screen when stationary for just that reason.
When I have trouble with voice input I just use my phone to enter the directions instead of doing it in CarPlay. Typing by scrolling through the alphabet with the wheel is not good.
> Society will set the standard, not the ones who work more, society as a whole sets that.
Agree. I started to work in remote team even before pandemic hit. And I quite often see people extending their work hours late until the midnight or sometimes even on the weekends, because they want to "catch up". But its their choice and it doesnt normalise it in our organisation. Nobody is setting it as an example and there is no such expectation from us and I highly doubt that it would change anytime soon.
I think the issue with macbooks is similar, but happens when you have USB-C dock with an external display connected. When you close the lid while connected to the dock, mac does not go to sleep but just switches to using the external display (aka clamshell mode) and when you unplug your computer to put it in your backpack, it just remains active instead of going to sleep.
The solution to this is to install noclamshell via brew or just get in the habit of disconnecting your mac first before closing the lid.
I noticed this because previously it was sleeping completly fine and the problems started only recently which is inline then I started using the dock.
I've seen that happen, but I'm specifically talking about disconnecting my dock (if it's even connected), closing my lid, confirming the fans are off, putting it in a bag, then finding it back on later doing an infinite loop of darkwakes for no reason.
We haven't seen any reviews of these so it's impossible to say one way or the other.
I'm a bit put off spending $400 on a pair of headphones, let alone $550. But it's a bit premature to suggest A is better than B when nobody has actually touched A.
