"Social implications" angle is quite straightforward, - to the informed, a device like this should not be necessary. It did not exist because it was never required, and where a desire for mobile screenspace is required,…
It's a valid concern, but please don't interpret the comment as snark. Speaking as an engineer, in absolute terms the competence of someone (or lack thereof) is clearly signalled with a setup like this. Perhaps it may…
I can appreciate some kind of dual screen laptop, for the right kind of person and application, maybe, but this monstrosity is.. very strange. It seems to cater only to folk who have doubled down so many times on never…
Price/perf of this is hidden by the tiny slice of hardware you get. Equivalent to my Hetzner machine would be 116 Euro/mo. before accounting for the 10x higher peak bandwidth, 2x capacity dedicated NVMe, 4TB of magnetic…
A single PCIe lane can draw 0.5 A, 4x rises to 2 A. Separately, (random top Google result cutpaste): Architectural-level power optimization can target different system components such as CPU, caches, main memory,and…
Generally speaking you can choose either power efficiency or a wide bus, but rarely both. If you want a crappy underpowered m.2 slot, probably Intel Atom is the cheapest route. High performance ARM with m.2 PCI, not…
As it happens, tabbing around a badly designed form often doesn't work correctly. Then there are UI with hundreds of focusable inputs where while tabbing might work correctly, is extremely cumbersome and slow to use.…
I probably use it for around 10-15% of navigation and scrolling on web sites. It's not a case of "I'm on a web site designed for a touch device, I will therefore now start poking the screen", but more along the lines of…
Jobs famously said quite strongly that they'd never do one. There is a video around of him justifying it due to the user's hands getting too tired https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=S9ZJHy8QOso . After 12 years on…
