Oh I wish I had a Zune HD, it's exactly my kinda thing; quirky, niche and pretty much failed. I loved the interface of that old Zune media player that was available for Windows 7, used that for quite a while before switching to Foobar2k.

Nokia Mix Radio was amazing as well, used that all the time on my Lumia 930.

I don’t think that Trump is anti-LGBTQ+. For that, he would need to have some kind of principles.

I think he's just an opportunist, he says the things his followers want to hear and only befriends rich, powerful people. Even if he realised what harm he's doing to the rest of us he wouldn't care, cause he's sitting at the cool kid's table so to speak.

Windows Phone, particularly Windows Phone 8.1. It had its flaws, the biggest being the lack of third-party support of course but the UX was the best I've ever experienced on a mobile device.

The UI was very different from Android/iOS but felt more consistent and intuitive. The Live Tiles especially were just such a good feature to get as much information as possible on one screen. And it all looked so incredibly good for the time with its silky smooth animations.

It's a shame Microsoft ruined it all with Windows Phone 10...

They've added upgradable RAM with the Gen 5 models. The WIFI card is soldered, though, which isn't as bad but still meh for longevity IMO

My brand new ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 has HDMI, two USB-A 5Gbps ports, a headset jack, a half-height Ethernet port, as well as two thunderbolt 4 ports and an optional smartcard reader.

I agree that Apple kinda inadvertently ruined the port selection on many laptops for a while but it's gotten better over the years; even Apple brought back HDMI and SD-Card readers.

Oh, definitely

I like these so much; I don't even know why but I do.

[–] FireWire400 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, you can. It's not a MacBook....

The RAM is upgradable in the new T-Series ThinkPads, both sticks, which is really cool.

Edit: seems like it's not upgradable on the T14s... It is on the P14s AMD and they share the same chassis I think. That's kinda strange.

What's the thermal situation like? I recently bought a P14s (I can post a review if anyone's interested) and decided to go with intel seeing as Meteor Lake seems oddly more efficient than Zen 4 when it comes to laptops.

[–] FireWire400 15 points 3 weeks ago

Sure, whatever.

At this point, I frankly don't even really care anymore.

Looks like it'd burn quite well...
