  • I would definitely agree to that. Even as I used it, I could see certain elements designed in a way that would suit a trackpad better.

    The worst part was the scrolling experience. It was either too slow or too fast. Could never scroll at a comfortable speed. Never feel this way when I sometimes use my colleagues' macbooks (my company provides Macs, but I need certain applications which necessitate a Windows machine for me).

  • Thanks for saying this, it's such an unpopular opinion.

    I got a Mac Mini last year and it was dreadful. I used nothing but the Mac for 2 months and still couldn't get used to it. Half the things required the use of birth mouse and keyboard, neither is sufficient on its own for the most basic of things. Finally sold it off and went back to my PC with dual boot of windows and Ubuntu.

  • I don't know if they've increased the price so much that people are no longer buying it or that they made the M1 models so good that people don't need to upgrade.

    I have an M1 Mac Mini and I really don't see myself needing to upgrade for at least another 3 years.

  • Origins was first AC game I played. 3 months after completing origins, which had bored me to death, I tried my hand at Odessey. The gameplay was exactly same. It felt like I was playing the same game again. Exact same mechanics and combat style. Uninstalled within half an hour.

    Then I tried Unity and Syndicate, because people praise them so much. And I realised that Ubisoft has been remaking the same game over and over for more than a decade now. They just change the setting and rehash everything. The animations in Unity look exactly same as Odessey.

    I had the same fear when I picked up Miles Morales, that it would feel the same as previous Spidey game. But they quickly introduced a few new mechanics which made the game feel ever so slightly different.

  • Yeah. I wrote this script wayyy before I found out about the *arr apps. After almost 4 years of tweaking and fixing, now it works so well, I don't really want the hassle of configuring the *arr apps. Also, I download everything from just a couple of trackers, so there's no searching involved.

  • I have some custom scripts which kinda do what the *arr apps do.

    I download torrent files into a folder. My script picks it up, identifies whether it is movie, TV, music, Games, ebooks, or something else. Based on this it selects the right folder. Then calls Transmission API and adds the torrent with the relevant path.

    In case of movies and TV shows, it then calls the transmission APIs to rename the files properly. This way I can have my folders well organised and continue seeding without the need of creating duplicates.

    This setup works quite well. The only fear I have is the transmission remote GUI for Windows hasn't been updated in 4 years. It works quite well, but it's only a matter of time before it stops working.

    Should I consider another client?

  • I have had my Gmail account for 20 years (since the days of needed an invite). I have 100s of accounts where I have used the id. It's just not possible to change my email id everywhere. I imagine this would be the case for many people.

  • That's the part you are missing. Modern charging doesn't use standard USB power. That's the whole fast charging landscape is addressing.

    Read this https://www.androidcentral.com/qualcomm-quick-charge

    The power brick can supply more than 5 V over a standard USB port because it's not adhering to USB standards for supplying power. As a result, data and power are decoupled, allowing the power brick to supply more than a standard USB port over a connector and cable which are identical to USB ports and cables.

  • Bro, you don't really know anything about USB

    The port being USB-C has nothing to do with USB 3.0

    The port supporting fast charging has nothing to do with it being USB 3.0

    Unless you have transferred data over the wire and seen USB 3 speeds, you can't claim it to be USB 3 based on circumstances alone.

    On the other hand, I can totally imagine that 99% people never transfer any data over the wire anymore. Airdrop is fast and convenient if you have a Mac and other solutions exist if you don't. You can easily get 10 MBps+ transfer rates over Wi-Fi and that works fine for most people, if they ever need to transfer data over to a PC anyway. So I'm guessing Apple just took what majority would accept and went with it, just like any other company does these days.
