could it be some weird trick of the sub pixel anti aliasing assuming a certain sub pixel ordering and looking "off" if it was the other way around?
like how you used to have to configure cleartype for RGB or RBG

especially if they are still using cheap screens with the scam where they have 2 logical pixels sharing 4 sib pixels

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)

there's this exercise path near where i live and google maps keeps routing me through it when i ask for cycling directions. cycling is forbidden on the path and i have reported the issue several times. latest report got a notification that my change request has been approved. maps still routes bicycles though the path.

like the path has this sign on it "Road closed to all vehicles in both directions"

I bet google maps backend doesn't have a connection type that routes walking but not bicycles

why have your selfie sensor worse than the 'proper' camera?

the panel was made by Sharp who called it that so they were just piggybacking I guess. E-ink requires zero power to maintain state, E-Paper aka Memory LCDs require some power to stay on but it's on the order of 10 micro-watts. I remember that your battery life would be affected by which design you chose, because the amount of energy required to change what was on-screen was determined by how many vertical columns needed to be modified.

oh, that's less egregious

i never saw the use case for it. the filenames were gibberish so you couldnt search them except by date and if youre working with a handful of photos then the actual photos interface was better for doing whatever you were trying to do. i thought maybe getting rid of it was for lock in but nope you can just download your entire photo archive through your google account at any time or even schedule dumps if you want to back up your photos off google for some reason

their reasoning of "reducing confusion" actually does hold water because once you opted into merging the two you had this photos folder that would permanently destroy your pictures if you worked in it except deleting the whole folder did not sync but there was no indication that was the case. so there was just this toxic folder that sat there waiting for you to gently caress up

For me it was receiving photos as attachments to emails and wanting to add them to Photos. But they they busted that anyway.
