As someone that shopped at both, but preferred Circuit City, I think Best Buy initially did a better job of “wowing” customers and had a better store layout. They also were better at trying to squeeze money out of people and thus were more profitable than Circuit City, so when times got leaner they survived and then had the whole market.

From what I understand, the newest version of Element X paired with Matrix 2.0 will now support voice/video without using jitsi.

Very low bandwidth or resource usage would be some advantages, less so since they made in this java heh.

Check out Quod Libet, it is my current favorite.

The layout is 100% the reason I didn’t like my F AT until I modded it. My F XT has a better layout, but it was always such a chore trying to get my home made Soarer’s converter to work right. The F77 layout is great, and thanks to the preproductions it’s actually attainable. I also got one of the new TKL layout Model Fs, but it only came in the “compact” case style (which makes sense as they was no original), and it just isn’t as nice to use as the OG style zinc case.

I’d get one of the beamsprings as well, but they are just so ridiculously thick and bulky that I don’t think it would work for me.

No, I have two of the reproductions and they are great IMO. I heavily prefer them over any of my Model Ms or OG Model Fs.

Both Unicomp and modelfkeyboards.com are highly recommended.

The Model Fs are far superior to the Model M. I own several original and reproductions, though I don’t own the F60 “Kishsaver” as I like having my nav cluster.

I’m always impressed by people using these incredibly small keyboards. I’ve never been able to get accustomed to using anything lower than 68% for a daily driver.

Even in the unlikely event that Elon did get a colony going on Mars, he’d be like Cohaagen from Total Recall, but worse.

I am aware, but Google is the one making this available and it 100% benefits them for developers to use it.

Android Auto is in the only reason I’m not using a de-googled rom. It makes me wonder if Android Auto works fine with no internet connection/SIM. Maybe I could just keep a disconnected “beater” phone for my music and predownload maps with Organic Maps.

I think calling it an anti-piracy measure is being too generous to Google. This is their slimy way to try to get around the measures the EU is enforcing and just to keep their control in general. Every update Google makes to Android brings it further from what I liked about it when it was new.

Turbo Pascal was great and a big step up over what you could do with BASIC. Good luck with C++.

Man I love that old Atari art.

Isn’t that first artwork from the Atari BASIC book cover? I suffered enough with BASIC on my TI-99 and IBM XT, I can’t imagine how rough the Atari version was.

I know it should be obvious and maybe I missed the sarcasm, but the teaspoon unit is in no way the same as an actual teaspoon utensil. I also don’t use my own feet to measure length.

That’s actually very much my kind of font, thanks a lot. At first glace I still prefer my current font (Liberation Mono), but I’ll give it a test run and see how it feels after a couple of weeks. You can never tell right away if a font is a keeper.

I’ve used it in the past, thanks for reminding me of it though.
