The display can get longer when dealing with porn?

Cool but what about laptops that come with more than 2gb of ram for chrissakes

People: We want universal healthcare

Capitalism: Best I can do is a useless laptop with rollable screen, full of spyware to feed AI models and ad companies

Install Linux. No more spyware. And no more AI. At least, not unless you want it. Personally, I've been a Linux user since 2011 and would seriously recommend using Linux Mint. It's stupid simple and just works really well.

I wouldn't bet on that screen having Linux drivers right away.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

True. I'd give it a year or two. At least enough time for it to become somewhat more common for them to exist.

Or enough time for everyone to realize, "Why did we need this?" And go away forever.

Welcome to lemmy/reddit

Only use case that made me reconsider is somebody said it could be helpful for certain disabilities. I don't recall which, but if this is something that sells a few units for people with accessibility needs, then who am I to reject it?

[–] SquiffSquiff 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I fail to understand what disabilities this could help with

I know, why? But looks cool though

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It looks cool, but I'm worried about durability. It doesn't even make the screen that much bigger.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

I agree on durability concerns, but it did double the height of the display. Not sure how much bigger you're expecting.

Hm looks terrible
