Does she have a bat signal? She seems like she has a bat signal.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a gem—the same way The Room is a gem, or Birdemic is a gem. You can’t believe your eyes and you can’t look away. It is a riveting car crash of a film.
It couldn’t be worse than the version with Marlon Brando. This may be the only reboot that literally can’t lose.
It’s designed like pushing paper towards you or away from you—I actually find it more natural. Imagine the screen is a long piece of paper continuing down to your hand and you’ll see what I mean. Push away to push the screen up, pull towards yourself to pull the screen down.
Plus, if you don’t like it, it is easily customized in the trackpad preferences.
I don’t usually like trackpads on other machines, but the gestures to switch desktops, zoom, change pages, and everything else that Apple builds in become so ingrained in your muscles that they save an enormous amount of navigational time. There really is no comparison. It is one of the essential features that keeps me from fully switching to Linux for every device in my home.
They always make them out of materials that feel luxurious to touch, which is another bit of computing philosophy I’ve adopted from them—if it touches my body, it should be extremely high quality. This goes for trackpads, mice, keyboards, clothes, and furniture.
Even if you don’t use their machines, it is worth checking out a demo of their gestures just to make you reconsider what a trackpad should be.
Perfectly replicating a Mac trackpad on a Linux system might be the final push for me to switch. Once those gestures are part of your flow, they are almost impossible to live without. It is one of the primary things Apple has ever gotten consistently right.
What are the positive qualities of Microsoft Linux? I’m sure it is more stable than normal Windows, but I’m not sure I could ever trust it as an OS.
The lesson I’ve learned is: brag less, seed more.
Eli5, what are the security risks of my HDMI cable?
No problem. For what it’s worth, they changed the location of that shortcut around a decade ago, but the menu remains the same.
This. It’s definitely a very nice experience when you get into a few good ones.
