  • that’s interesting because frankly I feel the opposite.vertical screen real estate is at a premium, it’s already common to have a horizontal taskbar and/or menubar eating into the desktop space, and then any browser UI like address bars eat into it more. Meanwhile most websites I visit are filled with whitespace on either side and always require scrolling down, often infinitely scrolling down, so the more vertical space the more you can fit on screen without scrolling.

    To put it another way: I rarely full screen my browser because making it wider doesn’t help, but I usually have it filling the maximum vertical space. Granted I’m on an ultra wide making this problem worse, but even at work on a 16:9 I feel the same way





  • the question then becomes how much weight are you adding/energy are you consuming by having to carry the weight. I honestly don’t know and considering how heavy batteries are it is likely not that significant, but if you are only getting a few % charge a day then anything eating into that is going to hurt.

    I still see some merit in a more utility style vehicle where you do expect to take it out camping, but for a daily commuter I think most people would prefer the sunroof to the trickle charging.

    Also as an apartment dweller… I just wish they’d make normal wall outlets more available. Not everyone needs a proper fast charger but only having a few inconveniently located ones to fight for also sucks. But if more spots could just plug in and slow charge that would be a huge improvement

    Agreed but I think the intent is still interesting. My interpretation would be that you can still talk to friends, but not about the vacation. Id still say yes but I’m curious if that changes it for you.

    The more simplified question would be just not bringing your phone or a camera, but then id say no as that just sounds like a dangerous trap and isn’t really what the question is trying to ask- it’s more 'would you go on a vacation and just enjoy it, or do you only want to go on vacation so people know you went? ’

    slightly off topic but I’ve been disappointed with ultrawide support and really advise against it for most people. Many single player games that do support it clearly weren’t designed for it and just give you a prettier pillarboxed 16:9, like Hades adding some art on the sides.

    And multiplayer games just crop your vision down so you have a weird FoV and see the same amount horizontally as a 16:9 user, but can’t see as much above or below you as they can. Proper support would let you see more horizontally than 16:9 players and since that’s the vast majority of players it’s understandable… but then anyone who does buy an ultrawide has to run it in 16:9 with pillarboxing or be at a disadvantage.




  • the only slightly justifiable use of slotted is something like the face plate on a light switch or power outlet, where it doesn’t have to be particularly tight and it’s nice you can remove it in a pinch with a fingernail or dime.

    … but really if someone came and replaced all of mine with torx I can’t say id complain, so its not like they’re good in that use case… just less awful
