  • I’m fairly certain the text is AI generated too, just because of the questionable “creative” decisions that I don’t think a human would make (why does some of the text have overlines? why is only the Canada line red? why are all the lines jarringly different font sizes?)

    plus, now that I zoom in, one of the colons has different sizes for the top and bottom dots. I guess GANs can just do text now

    I use a Framework and the trackpad is good enough that I rarely use a mouse. It’s not like a Thinkpad where the buttons for the nipple thing take up so much vertical space that the trackpad is actually frustrating to use (that plus Thinkpad trackpad surfaces tend to have more friction in my experience)

    Like I’m genuinely convinced the only reason Thinkpad people don’t like trackpads is because their experience of it is hampered by the presence of that other thing that they refuse to give up. The world has moved on, trackpads are actually good now


  • Most companies I’ve worked for have issued me a Thinkpad. When you have a machine that’s so ubiquitous in office settings, you want it to have as boring and consistent a UX as possible so that everyone can adjust to it easily from whatever they’re used to. For the same reason, I’m also glad the laptop in the OP seems to finally put Ctrl in the correct place, though at least that was fixable before.


  • The buttons take up so much vertical space from the trackpad that it’s much harder to move the mouse with your thumb with your fingers resting on the keyboard. Not to mention that it decreases the amount of space on the trackpad where a click can register, since trackpads are hinged at the top
