Ertio got a reaction from Mumintroll in 10 ways old laptops are better than new "modern" laptops.
Laptop vendors like to tell you in their advertising which generation of Intel Core they use this time. How marginally faster the CPU has become. But over the years, they have unfortunately taken many useful things away. Or, as Louis Rossmann... -

Which is why I specifically stated optical zoom in my original wish. Processing can relax some design corrections reducing lens complexity significantly. For example, lateral chromatic aberration and distortion are relatively easy to post process... -

Ertio reacted to Lurking in Are young SSDs faster than advertised?
Writing should be impacted more. But I assume with fragments of data all over, reading could be impacted a bit (to lesser degree).
SSD also use different NAND. They use some SLC NAD for chance etc. Once they get full, there is less of the fast NAND left.

Ertio reacted to Corrupt_Liberty in Is It Impossible to Use Plex, Jellyfin Etc. ”Legally”?
The legality of ripping your own dvds and blurays is still a gray area. It's never actually been tested in court. I get most of my content from disks that I rip myself. I buy used most of the time and that saves a lot of money. I've also made bulk purchases from... -

Agree on replaceable batteries. and by replaceable i don't mean you need a heat plate and risk destroying the screen. Like the old phones where any idiot could safely replace the battery in a minute. Disagree on HDMI. They could just send the video through... -

Technically the iPhone 16 has a button that kinda serves that function. It's nice to have when you want to take a photo.

Fun fact: the OnePlus 13 has a Bluetooth voice chat feature that works when there's no data service. Only works between 13/13R devices right now, but if you go all-in it'll help your family during a hike or a trip to the theme park.

I really missed having the flashing notification LED when I switched over to iPhone back in 2016.
That's really sad that they've been phased out in recent years.

Optical zoom camera equivalent to 30x with optical stabilisation at high quality 4k60 video output. This might stretch the laws of physics a bit to not give it a power bulge. The sensor shouldn't be too big a problem, but the optics could be. I'd settle for a... -

Ertio reacted to Basix in What made Microsoft open-source exFAT in 2019?
Presumably they wanted to include the drivers in the Linux kernel and they had to sort out the legal status. They wrote a blog post when they published the specification: https://opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2019/08/28/exfat-linux-kernel/

the screenshot blocking thing is a thing since forever, built-in android feature. On windows its at least an option, not sure if built-in or app specific.

It's sad how it all is and it will only get worse. General folk don't care, maybe on surface level, but not really or enough to educate them selves on anything. Convenience over anything, be it free or paid things.
