I switched from the default reader to koreader, and now I have dark mode (mine is probably about 8 years old and did not originally have this feature). Koreader has so many features and qol improvements compared to the default Kindle experience.

In many countries, these basic needs would be a non-issue.

Yeah this is exactly me. Also a quick tip, if you're on windows, there are some registry tweaks you can do to help prevent the GUI slowing down when lots of programs are open at once.

I built my PC recently and splurged to get about 100gb of ddr5, thinking it was going to be a waste of money.

I couldn't have been more wrong, there are occasionally times when I'm almost running out of memory. How? Multiple desktops, each with tons of programs and stuff open, including probably like several hundred Firefox tabs open at the worst of times.

Basically, extra ram has allowed me to kinda postpone the responsibility of having the close programs, maintain cleanliness, etc. I still have to stay organised using desktops so I don't go crazy with the number of things I have open, but I'm the limiting factor here, not my computer. And that's a super liberating feeling.

TL;DR: you can NEVER have too much ram.

"Good Squad" is peak headline. They do look like a bunch of gooners.

Yeah 100x this. My bad I should have mentioned the risks.

Mine doesn't have this option (screw whoever designed this thing), so I opened it up and smashed the buzzer with a pair of pliers.

That looks cool but the issue would be getting merchants to implement it

I wonder if there was some other reason for this removal, e.g. I could imagine some change in this generation that could have made the hotspot sensor redundant for some reason.

But yeah it's far more likely to be for the reasons you outlined. Absolutely diabolical.

Something straight out of 1984. When I read the novel in high school I was naive enough to believe it would never be reflected irl to quite this degree.

Oh I've been using Acronis for this purpose for a while, nice to know foss tools exist that accomplish the same thing, I'll probably use this next time.

The us population voted the Cheeto in a second time, kinda says it all really.
