To talk about the article instead of ranting on about niche wants:

  • 7 years of updates would be really good. Given how mature the hardware is nowadays, I can see a phone doing 7 years, save for the battery. Will Samsung be able to keep batteries in production?
  • I'm less sold on the AI things, I guess that's the buzzword now. AI AI AI everywhere. Also the two features mentioned are already in Google products, and I'd rather use those if I have to, unless Samsung pulls out a surprise and show that they are better at software development than Google is.

Which Chinese phone does that? They were the first to copy Apple when they removed all that. The only ones that still have card slots and headphone jacks are all the low-end phones, and heck, even those are going away. Xiaomi has been removing the card slots on the higher-end Redmi Notes.

Meanwhile all the scammers and spammrs still get to post their ads.

So so so many. Right off the top of my head:

  • Guild Wars Season 2, one of the later missions. It was stealth gameplay. I hate stealth. Paid someone 100g to run it for me.
  • FTL's boss.
  • Warframe's Glassmaker season fight with Nihil.
  • Currently, Ace Combat 7's Pipeline Destruction.

It's going to be loud regardless, especially since the Navies have a thicker bar AND you'll be using more force to get past it and the heavier spring.

And yes, they're heavy. I like heavy switches (really hate anything less than 50g), but even those were a little tiring to type on the first time. You will need to get used to typing on them.

Will echo the other suggestion made, get a tester pack first.

I didn't realise it, I just pasted the link and let Kbin figure out the data. I guess it read from an internal working title instead of the actual title (which isn't much better, it's "The Perfect Webpage")

I do feel like this is why I don't really hang around the fediverse that much; it's like the opposite end of the spectrum of right-wingers who go nuts when "communism" or "socialism" is mentioned, just that it's any mention of "capitalism". Kneejerk reactions either way.

Sounds great; yea, I'm getting sick of the shitty SEOed the hella out results I'm getting from Google search nowadays. If I'm searching for anything that's not pure facts (which likely leads me to a wiki page anyway), it's just going to be a shitshow of bland pages as described in the linked article.

Yes, I really do love the animations, really shows the transformation so well.

Yes, that's why before Reddit went to shit we all added "reddit" to the search terms. I do miss the old web a lot.

The animations showing the transformation of a page into a blah-SEO clone really sold the article for me. Really reminds me of how shitty the "modern" web is nowadays. I also think it's time I signed up for Kagi.

The Battletech game is a very good port, it's just about faithful, but with one important rule addition, and that getting shot at removes a point against the to-hit penalty. It makes mechs being able to be hit if there's enough concentrated fire on it (which makes sense, if you think about it), and lessens the dragginess of the table-top game (3025 L1 games especially so).

Nice, I love the paint jobs you did on them! As someone mentioned, the edge highlights are really nice, makes the mechs really pop.
