Quote from: Asher Pat on Yesterday at 17:08:39When i read a fawning headline on Notebook Check I don't have to read who wrote it. If it is a song of praise for Apple, it's Alex Alderson and if it is a promotional material for Tesla, it can be only Daniel Zlatev.
But to claim that "Tesla runs supercars off the track" is ludicrous!  It is only good for drag race, on track it is just a fast car and no match for cheap porsches or the hot audis as evidenced by Nurburgring lap times.

I'm a car fan, I've owned 25+ cars, my friends own various curent gen supercars and exotics. Wanna know how many  have ever been to the track ? Just me. With a Miata Mx5 and will probably never go again.
Like it or not, the ONLY comparable and relatable metric is 0-60mph or 0-100km/h since you can do it legally on most roads. You can't hit top speed, you can't corner at 150 legally though.

Not to mention that all you do in that Tesla is tap the pedal and get those numbers. The Lamborghini needs to be in launch mode or it'll be much slower.

Car fans should rejoicing! This is what we ALWAYS dreamed of.  Super cheap, super reliable cars that cost less than a Vespa to run, this is it. Yet here we are with some people yelling that EV performance doesn't count because XYZ reason.

Exotic cars are for showing off, maybe 0.05% actually see a track but they're bought for vanity and that's perfectly fine but let's not pretend track numbers matter anywhere but the track

US only as usual

"Hersteller von Smartphones mit sehr langen Updates (Samsung , Google und Apple)"

Du meinst "mittellangen Updates", denn "lang" wären 15+ Jahre, damit Updates größenordnungsmäßig solange erfolgen, wie die Smartphones mit regelmäßig erneuerten Akkus hielten, wie es Festnetzmobiltelefone mit Wechselakkus tun.

Already using in white for few months, lol

Quote from: heretiq on Yesterday at 23:16:22what the iPad is, why it exists, and how to use it as it is to accomplish things they claim it can't do

Since you know it all, please explain some basics:

- How to permanently disable the microphone button of the regular on-screen keyboard instead of always having to click "Not Now"?

- How to permanently reject popups asking for acceptance of the iCloud terms instead of always having to click "Not Now"?

- How to update iPadOS via WLAN while rejecting the iCloud terms?

- If, say, 1 GB storage is free, how to use only one command to transfer, say, 2 GB of many small files via the Files app, SMB and USB to a Windows PC? That is, how to avoid the Files app's attempt to duplicate all the files before transferring them and failure due to insufficient storage?

- Without factory-resetting i(Pad)OS, how to delete a file in the Files app that it refuses to delete by not offering the Delete command?

- Within iPadOS itself, how to create multiple users and file / folder access rights for each of them?

- Within iPadOS itself, how to set and enforce rules preventing execution of particular softwares for particular users?

- Within iPadOS itself, how to recursively batch process file commands on all files of an arbitrary file type also in all subfolders?

Quote from: Simon H on Today at 03:37:20You may prefer wireless, indeed I use my wireless charger on my OP12 at home, but rarely.

I wake, plug in my phone, have a shower and when I get out less than half an hour later my phone's stopped charging at 80 percent to prevent damage to the battery.

I'm a heavy user and it more than lasts me all day.

But your Samsung S24 Ultra, I guess you're going to have to charge that overnight because it charges so damn slowly. Your battery is going to last less time because it just does and it will start to fail long before mine, because well that's what Samsung batteries do.

But please, if you prefer to insist on a wireless charger so you can overcharge during the day (because you're going to have to) feel free. It's your battery you're gonna end up killing.

Your 5 seconds of convenience will help you kill your battery quicker so much quicker.

A trade in like that makes you the idiot not me.

I'm pretty sure a S24 Ultra charges in two-three hours max. Fast charging can be as bad as wireless charging for a battery, no matter how many marketing lies Chinaphones throw at you. If they are using the same battery technology that's common (Li-Po/Li-Ion), then they are causing damage to the batteries with those charging rates.

AS for me, I see Wireless charging as a "backup" solution in case your port gets dirty/damaged/wet and you need to charge somehow. I wouldnt use it as a daily solution due to the heat it causes on the battery.
