The funny thing about that is that I would likely never use Reddit for something that I would typically go to an existing forum for, you're not going to find the same type of community and interactions here you would find on a topic-dedicated forum, much less the granular level of discussion and information you'd likely be looking for.

Yup, but they'll never go after them, just like they don't chase them down for speeding. Had a motorcycle cop pull me over when I was going the same speed as the rest of traffic, but refused to comment on the motorcyclist that had just blown past him doing what I would estimate is 20+ mph faster than the rest of traffic. Cop sure loved grinning about pulling over a Corvette, though.

Wait... you joined them to complain about a group's most polarizing members... but you think people who do just that aren't interested in actually improving the situation?

And use what?
No, seriously. GoToMyPC has been very straightforward and useful for our small company for remoting in when people have had to stay home during the pandemic or were in general away from the office and needed access to their desktop.

I use one in my workshop and even there the screen doesn't get dirty enough to be concerned by it. If you're on the stand or holding it properly they're relatively stable. The thickness is not noticeable, considering touch display features do not add enough thickness to even concern any average consumer with.

Will say that I personally have a Surface Book 2, a Surface Pro 5, and occasionally use a Surface Pro 2 at work. On both the Pro's, despite it technically being easier to flip them to full tablet (just yank off the mag keyboard), I find that the slightly larger and heavier Surface Book feels more comfortable for doing 'walk-around' tablet mode. Sitting down with the Surface Book 2 on a table I will literally switch between the keyboard, touchscreen, and the wireless mouse I have connected to it on the fly, different actions feel more natural between each.

Or you could just buy a Surface for far less.

Yup, same. We have multiple Surfaces for home and work use, even my 70-something parents both have them as their main computers and use the touchscreen regularly for interfacing with the computer.
Sucks you're getting downvoted by Apple fanboys and folks who haven't actually used the setup regularly.

Reply to The End of the Silicon Valley Myth by ONEcrazyHINDU
I will never stop hating that companies that make apps and websites somehow glommed onto the "tech" and "Silicon Valley" monikers, much less that "Silicon Valley" somehow magically moved from the south and east bay up to San Francisco. Those titles belong to the companies actually making the electronics and silicon in the valley, who are still around and doing quite well.

The BBC show QI did something similar with their title, only it was more of a prank on one of the hosts.

It's like having Office available on the Apple desktop and mobile operating systems. Yeah, they're a direct competitor, but that doesn't mean you can't make money off of their customers anyways.

Wasn't there a Simpsons episode where Homer had to land a plane, and whoever was coaching him in 'motivated' him by saying someone out there said he couldn't do it?

Reply to Twitter will no longer recommend tweets from unverified accounts, blocks non-Blue users from voting in polls by KingBlue2
I miss the site from before that dipshit took over. I followed interesting people and cool artists, and felt like there was an opportunity to actually communicate with them. I was able to keep tabs on projects multiple indie artists and devs were working on, and get useful responses to my inquiries from reps for large corporations.
Fuck Musk.
