1. Ubuntu wants to own snap, with their own proprietary store etc which runs against alternatives like Flatpak and goes against the FOS ethos

2. Snap is slower and worse than Flatpak (the most popular alternative) in most ways, with very few pros that will likely be caught-up-to soon too

UpNote is the best non-FOSS option

There’s a difference between the display being flat and the glass in front of it being flat, which is what they’re pointing out, albeit badly.

The S9 was a significant improvement in performance etc over the S8 despite having basically the same design - my friend has an S9+ and he feels absolutely no push to get a new phone and I don’t blame him.

The limited benchmarks I’ve seen put the new X Elite at slightly less efficient than the M2 Pro (let alone M3 Pro). It only gets marginally higher scores when operating at 3x the wattage.

Also, let’s not imagine even for a second that notoriously terrible ARM are going to make it easy to support this chip, especially not in the long term.

FSR is FOSS and pretty straightforward so I’d be quite surprised if it wasn’t already pretty feasible on the last few generations of devices.

I love Fedora but definitely Mint for a normie. Even then I question if you should install Linux at all since reliably being able to do what you need to do is priority one, especially for a student, and if he may be blocked in his work as a result I don’t think it’s a great idea.

Ok so I had the CH700N’s. I also then had some AirPod Pros for a year. I recently upgraded to the Sennheiser Momentum 4 over-ear and the Sony WF-1000XM5’s, but I also bought and returned the WF-XM4s, Bose QCII in-ear, and the Sennheiser Momentum TW3.

Every single pair of in-ear wireless earbuds I’ve tried that aren’t AirPods Pro suck. I am still using the XM5s but their multipoint sucks so I had to disable it, and they drop out for a split second every 10 or so mins. The XM4s were similar but incredibly painful to wear. The QCII were similar to the XM5s. The Sennheiser TW3 connection quality was dog shit - putting a few fingers around an earbud would break their connection with each other.

As for over-ears, my Sennheiser Momentum 4s are pretty good - they sound great, feel pretty comfortable, last for ages, and do not suffer any connectivity issues in my experience.

But to be honest, I’ve reached the point where if phones still just had bloody headphones jacks I’d use wired over-ears. I’d probably still use AirPods Pro for portability once I move back to iOS though, but I could also see myself going wired there too to avoid the whole wireless hassle and cost.

So my conclusion is over-ear for every possible reason except absolute portability.

I also would recommend against the Sony WH-1000XM5 over-ear because they feel so cheaply made it’s a joke.

I have a 7 Pro and the fingerprint sensor sucks. It constantly doesn’t recognize, and is slow when it does.

All true. But he did not actually say that he thinks it’s a scam or anything close to it, he just showed that a particular cryptocurrency is down, so I wouldn’t jump to the assumption that he knows what he’s talking about as I’ve experienced many videos over the years on various topics where he clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Nah he’s not really - near the end of the video he says “it’s cool to have these (crypto) features built in”

No worries

It provides a massive set of CSS classes which allows you to do styling inside HTML instead of manually in CSS. It provides the benefits of consistency and reduces the need to name things which can be a big time sink. It only includes the classes that you use in the final build.

It does have the potential to significantly bloat HTML when many classes are needed for a given element though, and directly opposes the original intent that HTML defines only content while CSS defines styling.
