New sketch! It's the classic Apple ]+, the first computer my family ever had... 40+ years ago I got my start with programming and computer graphics on one of these.
A thing that worries me a bit is with AI in rise so much, many people and companies talk about it like "their AI". Like it's their property and they own the code but it's not..
There are only a few companies on the planet who are "in control" of the code and data, those are the ones who "own AI", not the consumer
There is no "your AI", there is only "their AI" that you work with, don't forget that!
Results on my #survey about trackpad tap to click.
114 responded.
65% enable tap to click and love it!
29% disable tap to click.
6% had tap to click enabled and hate it!
So about two thirds prefer tap to click.
Personally I would argue that it should be off by default, but I belong to the last group. I was finding that I was having a lot of issues with my trackpad and most went away when I changed the setting. I still have an issue at times that clicking sometimes leads to right clicking.
I have been using trackpoints for years, so I guess I am rather used to an experience with clear button clicks.
Ignore the dust. This is the unit bearing the front USB3 ports of my PC case, a CoolerMaster N400. When opening this, I thought I would find a circuit board that I can easily trace and solder. Nope. It's just a piece of black plastic held together by dark forces. The lower port is broken. It works if I bend it upwards with considerable force, but it doesn't stay like that. I assume it's a broken solder joint and there's still a PCB inside. I wonder if the plastic would be able to withstand 150°C or so for 10 minutes. Maybe I could try reflowing it with the case on? #Repair#USB#DIY#Electronics#Computer#PC
I have been using Thinkpads for years and been using Trackpoints. I love the technology, but we getting a bit of strain in my fingers, so wanted to try something else, so using a laptop with a touchpad instead. Finding that I kept clicking things by mistake. Thought there was something wrong with my laptop, but then found there was a setting for clicking things my mistake and it was called "Tap to click" and a similar one for right clicking. Both were on by default.
I guess I am one of those that prefers to click when I want to click and not have a slight touch of the touchpad register as a click. The touchpad has to differentiate between clicking, scrolling, moving, etc., so having everything with the same level of pressure seems likely to lead to mistakes.
Mal eine Frage an die #Computer Nerds da draussen:
Denkt ihr das ist so gut als neuer PC? Oder soll ich da noch was anpassen? 🤔
Möchte ihn hauptsächlich zum spiele Spielen, so Planet Coaster, Cities Skylines und Transport Fever 2 mit grossen und zugebauten Maps 🙃
Mein alter Laptop ist bei letzterem immer abgestürzt und mittlerweile funktioniert die Tastatur nicht mehr, weshalb ich jetzt was neues will. Sollte also auch in n paar Jahren noch was taugen 😅
Eigene Kinder + eigener Kleingarten + eigene Technik > 100% Auslastung. Für so etwas Banales wie einen regulären Job und Geld verdienen hab ich keine Zeit mehr. An solche persönlichen Dinge wie Freunde treffen, Sport machen oder liebe, alte Hobbys wieder angehen, wage ich ja nicht mal zu denken ...
Gibt man den Kleingarten wieder auf? Unsere Oase, wenn in Berlin wieder jeder Quadratmeter Grün belegt ist?
Oder schmeiße ich die ganze Technik - unsere Computer, Netzlaufwerke, Clouds, BackupServer, Firewalls und diesen ganzen "Mist" - einfach weg und gehe zurück auf Zettel und Stift?
... ich fürchte, die Kinder müssen arbeiten gehen. 🤔

Hi all. I've got an older #computer running #Windows10, and I'm thinking about putting #Linux on it since I've always wanted to try it out and think this computer might run better with Linux. I read a topic on audiogames.net about Linux #accessibility, and I saw a few recommendations for #distros to try out. To any #blind Linux users, is #NixOS a good one for a beginner, or should I try #LinuxMint or #Ubuntu? Also, what's the best way to install Linux and replace #Windows? Thanks. #technology#tech@mastoblind@accessibility@main
This month it is 30 years since I started working on browsers. April 1994 is when Geir and I started working on the Opera browser. We founded the company a year later.
Initially I made the UI, while Geir did a lot of the core.
Since that time I have dedicated myself to making the Web live up to its potential. First at Opera and now at Vivaldi.
If you ever used Opera and you have not tried Vivaldi, I invite you to give us a try!
If you never used Opera or Vivaldi, you are invited as well!
Is there already a conspiracy theory as to why #printers always fail completely when you want to #print the most urgent and important documents? If not, let's invent one! 😈
Know why you can’t clean the greasy spots off your compute keyboard? Because that isn’t grease. Lots of computer keys are made from ABS plastic, which is soft and cheaper than PBT plastic. Those shiny spots are where you polished the keys by typing. #keyboard#computer#cheaphttps://instagr.am/p/C6ICqacrSLW/
