  • You’re passionate about something you don’t understand and have never tried.

    Tap to click you remove your finger and press it back down to click. That’s why it’s called tap to click and not press to click.

    With haptic touchpads you keep your finger where it is and apply more force. It’s a completely different gesture and is very similar to mechanical clicking touchpads.

    Why it’s better is because it is consistent across the whole touchpad surface versus mechanical typically don’t work towards the top of the touchpad. Mechanical touchpads normally feel loose to me and you can’t change the actuation force. With a haptic touchpad you can change the actuation force since it’s a force sensor with a software defined threshold.

    It also doesn’t feel anything like phone haptics. It feels more like a press than a vibration like a phone does.

    These are also higher quality touchpads in general that have more resolution. Theoretical even better than the Apple force touch devices I have used.

    Walk into an Apple store and try one of their devices before you complain again.



  • Have you tried updating the kernel? If it’s been rated to work with a certain Linux distribution and it doesn’t work on yours then chances are that the distribution they tested with is using a newer kernel.

    That being said new hardware can be quite problematic on Linux. I personally haven’t had issues with Huawei Matebooks provided I installed the newer kernels, but Apple Silicon was a nightmare.









  • Well said. I have no idea why people seem to think the the whole sonarr, radarr, prowlarr setup saves time. The whole renaming, metadata and thumbnail gathering, etc isn’t saving time for most people as most pirates don’t do any of that manually because they don’t do it at all. This software is useful for people who want collections of pirated content - especially if they serve it to other people. A family or someone who does piracy for a business, or collectors of media are who these suites work best for.

    I have often had to manually intervene when using this supposedly “automatic” software. That and the time, trial, and error it takes to set all of it up make it not worth it for me. It gets especially annoying when it renames episodes to the wrong name, making them confusing to identify and taking time to fix manually. That wouldn’t happen if you just didn’t rename anything and saves valuable watching time.
