That’s a contributing factor to battery life remaining stagnant. Manufacturers use those advances while continuing to slim phones rather than making an actually flat brick that uses those advances to drastically increase battery life. Regardless of the energy needs of the phone manufacturers can use the difference in height between the back of a phone and the camera bump to include more battery capacity and it will increase both the daily and usable life of the phone.

So let’s keep making phones thinner and thinner while simultaneously growing the camera bump instead of making a flat profile with, say, 2 days of life!

Why did you post a 3 year old expired draft whose proposed implementation has been obsoleted?

By allowing more people access to your games, more people have access to your games to purchase … with money … that goes to you and helps your business’s bottom line.

Grab 5 of the top engineers, sales people, and marketing at the company, double their pay, and grant them a $1,000,000,000 bonus in 5 years time if they beat certain performance metrics. Have them sit on a board as coCEOs and watch true motivation. Kick out the guy that’s demanding 3 times your annual income as “motivational” compensation.

Maybe “Black Ice” or “Remember Me?”

Sanctum 2 is a bit older, but it holds up as a solid FPS tower defense hybrid. It’s often on sale for around $4. The dlc is also well worth it, doubling the base game content.

Of course I know him, he’s me.

If it just says something like “Radeon Graphics” there’s a decent chance that it’s just whatever graphics are bundled on the CPU. This isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s not what I would consider for “mid-range games for a while.” The steam deck APU is a similar setup. It doesn’t have a separate dedicated GPU chip, but it gets away with it by running things at lower resolution, framerate, and quality. Those kinds of chips are generally fine for displaying things on screen and handling video playback, but they’re not powerhouses.

That being said you’ll want to keep an eye out for a dedicated graphics card which will generally be heavily branded (think “AMD Radeon RX 7…M XT” kind of thing).

Since you’re considering running Linux on this anyway why not look into a Linux first vendor? Tuxedo computers is based in Germany and has an all AMD laptop, the Sirius 16.

Please allow me to not use this. I switched to FF mobile because Chrome forced groups on their users and left no way to turn them off.

Though I haven’t tried it, Yumi might be what you’re looking for.

They also fuck up because they aren’t designed and implemented properly.

• Walmart’s don’t accept tap to pay.
• Whole foods’ requires manual keying in of pastry items as different options (they don’t have danishes in their DB so they need to be rung up as a bagel; per the human worker that resolved the issue for me when I predictably couldn’t find the item they failed to include).
• None of them allow you to cancel the order (such as when you want to check the price of an item because the store neglected to actually list the price on the floor).
• None of them let you remove an item (such as a duplicate scan or removing a luxury item that stretches your budget or rang up higher than you were expecting).
• You can’t purchase shaving goods, alcohol, canned air, or other adult items without intervention (probably no way to actually avoid this one, but it doesn’t promote a smooth flow) and the kiosk often locks down until aided by an associate preventing you from continuing to scan your items while you wait.
• Often locks the kiosk when placing a reusable bag in the bagging area.
• Inconsistent payment methods: some allow you to scan your card at any point in the process, some process payment the moment your card is scanned, some require a manual trigger on screen prior to scanning your card.
• Often forces popups between scans (“This kiosk is in card only mode,” “Enter your loyalty card number,” or “how many bags did you use today?”)

I’d like to:

• Walk up and set down my bag
• Scan all my items
• Remove arbitrary items
• Tap my card
• If required; verify my age and have an associate clear any blocks
• Grab my stuff and leave

Instead what often happens:

• Walk up and set down my bag
• Kiosk locks because there’s an item in the bagging area
• Pickup my bag, move to a different kiosk and set my bag on the floor
• Scan my first item
• Dismiss the card only pop-up
• Dismiss the loyalty pop-up
• Scan the item again because the first scan just wakes the machine and the order doesn’t start until you dismiss 2 popups
• Put the item in my bag on the floor
• Scan the next item
• Dismiss pop-up about first item not being in the bagging area
• Take first item from my bag on the floor and set it in the bagging area
• Kiosk locks until associate clears it
• Scan a razor blade
• Kiosk locks until associate clears it
• Scan the remainder of my items
• One of them scanned twice
• Click the visible delete button next to duplicate item
• Kiosk locks until associate clears it
• Tap my card
• Realize that this unit works differently than the last one I used and click the “Finish and pay” button
• Select card as the payment type (on the kiosk in the card only queue getting run in card only mode)
• Dismiss the bags used pop-up
• Tap my card again
• Move all my items from the bagging area to the reusable bag on the floor
• Collect my receipt and goods and leave

I’m glad that you’ve consistently had a good experience with them, but I have not. While each of our experiences are anecdotal, the machines’ failure to routinely accommodate my expected use case is an engineering failure. I am a software engineer by trade and know how to interact with computers well. While we have a running joke about customers not reading what’s on their screen that’s no excuse to design an interface that cannot properly react to unexpected or unusual inputs or tasks.

Self checkouts don’t work the same across stores, don’t accept the same methods of payment across stores, require human intervention the moment anything off the happy path occurs (like not moving an item fast enough and it scans twice), provide constant interruptions during the execution of their single purpose, and are unfathomably slow and inconsistent at what they do.

They just don’t work well.

I get paid for results, not hours. My time isn’t tracked. I’m a software engineer.

CEOs often “work” multiple jobs.

People trying to get their startups off the ground often work multiple jobs.

Minimum wage workers often work multiple jobs.

Why is it a problem when developers work multiple jobs?

How so? I don’t think that is referring to an SMS recipient, just the sender’s computer and phone each running Connect need to be on the same network.

You might want to look into KDE connect. I don’t use it myself, but it might be what you’re looking for.

I’ve been following Relativty for a bit now. It might be up your alley.

A docx is just a renamed zip archive with the XML data. You should be able to unzip it and use a parser to access that info directly. There are likely tools to do this for any relevant language. You can also find the official spec online with some more info.

Unfortunately, I can’t get into much more detail than that as my company actively develops similar tools and I’ve worked on their document renderers not too long ago.

No clue on the odt stuff. I worked on the MS fidelity part.

Incidentally you’re one of the reasons the majority of workers don’t want to return to the office.
