thanks, this is much more tolerable. I used to have a decaying nexus, I think the keyboard is the only thing i dislike about this iphone. I guess you could say that other than that it works extremely well!

gestures are hot dogshit for discoverability and reproducibility. if you have button navigation and want to tack them on as shortcuts, whatever, but as the main interaction method they are poop from a butt

The thinkpad t series easily go to 32gb of ram. This includes the T470 and t480

I just got my t25 (25th anniversary thinkpad). It came with 16gb of ram and had a free spot for more ram. I bought another 16gb on ebay for $160 and I now have 32gb of ram

thanks. guess I was thinking of the 480S (which does actually have a SO-DIMM slot but has 8GB soldered and therefore only goes to 24GB)

or its because i just have to swipe left do my poo poo then swipe again instead of double tapping home and tapping on the last used app then repeating to go back. but too bad "move your finger in a direction" is too difficult, shame itll never catch on.

but its extremely google for them to not get why the ipone x gestures work well and instead come up with some poo poo slider where you have to guess how long to hold it to one direction and oops you let go a hundredth of a second too late guess youll have to start all over again finding the app you want

No problem. Yeah when the models end with an i or an s there's usually some big difference internally which I always found odd

they had a perfectly fine stylus when it was EM powered, but in true samsung fashion they decided to gently caress with it because they could, its powered by a supercapacitor that only has 30 minutes standby. i guess the positive is they claim it takes 40 seconds to charge fully, but like... why ??
