  • Autocorrect seems to have gotten noticably worse for me in recent years. I regularly find that the entirely correct words which I type out get changed to something completely different because the autocorrect decided that I couldn’t possibly mean that word. It regularly helpfully replaces entire words after I hit space and have moved on to the next. By that time, I’m usually focused on the next word, so slip-ups that I almost never make at a dumb keyboard (like its vs. it’s, there vs. their, your vs. you’re, or were vs. where vs. wear) happen with shocking regularity unless I proofread the entire comment. As a perfect example, I had to proofread and fix multiple instances of such while typing those examples.




  • I’m literally nearing the end of my most recent watch through of ALL Trek in order of air date. I think I’ve only got a few episodes of Prodigy, a season of Lower Decks, and a season of Strange New Worlds left. I’m saving the latest Academy episodes for the end obviously. I guess I can immediately circle back to the beginning.

    The article you keep linking disagrees.

    Although having given its name to the word henge, Stonehenge is atypical in that the ditch is outside the main earthwork bank.

    An atypical example of something is still a “true” example of the thing, especially given that the very term derives its origin from Stonehenge itself.

    Edit: Oops, mistook 2 basic pedants regurgitating trivia as the same person.





  • Being able to fold down a larger “sheet” display so that it fit in a pocket would be pretty cool. Having extra room for reading things like maps and comic books is so much better than pinching and zooming on a pocket sized display. What you call limited purpose, I call functional design. I’m kind of over all-in-one devices. They’ve turned into Jack of all trades, but master of none.

    Obviously that’s not what this device is, but it got me thinking about why I’d want a device with multiple e-ink displays or a foldable display.
