The 90s still was trailing off the Oil Crisis, trucks having 55 on the dash (and nothing more) was still commonplace.
Modern cars can still be insured without governor. A 2010s Fiesta still can hit its top speed of 135 (gear limited and not a governor).
Not all vehicles in North America have governors nor is it required by law.
Alot of Japanese cars do but that’s because they didn’t bother removing the governor that they use in Japan (190kph/118mph). Most American and European manufactured cars are limited by transmission or physics and not governors.
I’d vouch for just getting a new SE. As others stated, support is incremental and a Series 4 is already dated in terms of support. And compared to the newer watches, the SE is a great value. It only misses out on some less important features and always on display.
At first I thought I’d dislike not having always on display but I normally have to rotate my wrist anyways to check my watch which ends up waking the display anyways.
Another +1 for Rectangle.
For me, a semi-recent convert from Windows, a fresh install of macOS includes:
Dropover, it has a limited free version (3 second wait time) or $5 for a one time ‘Pro’ version. It worked way better for me than Dropzone for copying files around and temporarily grabbing web images for Messages and Discord.
Top Notch, its free to use and cleanly hides the notch and just provides a clean black space for the menu bar.
SoundSource, yes its $40 and thats expensive af. However FOSS alternatives like Background Music kept crashing due to my external DAC. It’s a volume mixer, EQ tool, and audio IO selector.
And finally if I need to run Windows tools or applications for some of my hobbies, I have Parallels on an external drive. That way Windows isn’t hogging space and is isolated when I don’t need it.
They are currently closed source like Brave for now but it’s a relatively new browser and still technically open beta (I’m on 0.99.124.4.1).
They say they are working on going open source. However their Github seems to currently get infrequent updates.
Gross. I’m expecting Drop to go downhill from here (they arguably did somewhat already in the Massdrop to Drop transition) and to see Corsair gamer puke advertised on their front page..
For iOS there is the Orion Browser. Its a privacy based fork of Safari for iOS and macOS, with built in ad-block, anti-fingerprinting, and supports background and PiP youtube. I use it as my default browser on iOS and Mac.
Its built on webkit, just like Firefox on iOS, but supports both Firefox and Chrome extensions. And their CEO isn’t a crypto shill or anti-lgbtq.
If you just want a decent cheap one. I’ve had the linked one for close to 2 years as my daily home then work keyboard wrist rest. I have it paired to a GK64 and its 1:1 in width and looks just as good as when I bought it. There’s good wide rubber feet on it as well.
Up until recently, and still applies to many, chromebooks had a rather short shelf life before “expiring”. You could buy a new Chrombook with like 2 or less years of support before it became e-waste. Like wouldn’t even support video streaming and no security updates.
Even on previous macOS versions they still receive security updates for a while as does Windows. Plus the lifespan is rather large with a 5-6yo intel Macbook receiving the upcoming OS release later this year.
Its not just a $199 vs $1999 laptop issue, its an ecosystem issue as well.
I just had to do another sweep; most of my comments stayed edited but some from more popular subreddits (likely the ones that Reddit cares the most about profit wise) were uneditted. And most were un-deleted.
Ran PowerDeleteSuite and I'll check in about a week.
While I love Logitech for their mice, I won't touch their other devices with a ten foot pole. Keyboards especially. When theres such a wide open world out there of keyboard options from compact low profile to fully DIY and soldered mechanical keyboards, there no reason to be subjected to Logitech software and hardware.
As long as your dust isn’t conductive (such as metal dust from a machining shop) it really isn’t a real concern. Most of the time if dust kills something: its caked on, thermally choking components, and often mixed with something else like tar from cigarettes.
Exposed and on display like this, the owner is probably going to be meticulous about air dusting it often.
