I just got a new Hyundai and I think they already have the perfect amount of touch vs buttons. Everything you need to access has buttons, the things which would be too annoying to do during the drive are touch

No, just look at it, so many buttons. Physical levers for A/C temperature control. Physical buttons for the seating heater and for the seating fan. Physical butons for the window heaters in the winter. Physical buttons to switch between Radio, Map, Bluetooth. Physical buttons to switch radio stations. Physical volume knobs.

Basically all your needs while driving have a physical button, the stuff where you REALLY need a touchscreen are those that you should never do while driving anyways.

I would wish that the driving selector wheel could act as a knob like BMWs and Mercedes have, this would be the best of the best. But it still is pretty great compared to the selection in other modern cars.

I was pleasantly surprised when I sat in a modern Hyundai for the first time (Kona Electric SX2) and there were soooo many buttons. Yes, some things are still touch-controlled, but compared to what I was used to in a Volkswagen it was such a blessing

Do you not have the browser open all the time? Not necessarily in the foreground, but at least in the background I always have a browser window. But tbh, most of the time it's in the foreground on the second monitor

But 8 > 4??? /s

"Just double click the keepass.kdbx" is not what it is. You need to go to your explorer, find the file in the folder structure and double click it. You then need to search for the website you are on and copy the password, then you need to go back to the website within 12 seconds and paste the password. That's inconvenient for everyone, but for a tech-illiterate grandma it's impossible.

Compare that to Bitwarden: You go to the website, click on the bitwarden icon and then click on the login details. Or even better, you can enable auto-complete with a single click and it automatically fills the login details when on the website, without clicking anything. That's far more convenient and easier.

Just as a FYI: My grandma has a sticky note on her laptop that shows exactly which buttons to press to get to her emails, with things like "Click this twice within 2 second, be fast!!" for a double click. It doesn't say "lef mouse button", she draw her touchpad and an arrow. She is not able to find her mails when the website changes the layout.

That's far from the best option. It's working, but it's super complicated compared to Bitwarden and other cloud password managers. Imagine telling your grandma "just use keepass", she would never be able to make it work. But Bitwarden? Lastpass? That's possible

That doesn't make sense, RAW is a file format and has nothing to do with AI enhancement. Also, RAW files are not uploadable to websites (they are, but they would look shitty), RAW is a file format that allows a greater range of adjustments at a later point for professionals (like using Lightroom).

ProRes is apparently (I googled it) a VIDEO format.

There might be phones that have shitty AI resolution enhancement built into their camera app, but most likely that's not the case here. This image just went through an AI upscaler, which is a website or an app that works on Android and iOS, but it has nothing to do with the vendor

Yeah that's totally true, but it's too much of a risk IMO. There will be great candidates like AOC in the future (she has too little experience right now), that might be the ones fulfilling Bernie's dream. Sadly Bernie won't be it

Bernie Sanders is even older than Biden, he should have been the nominee in 2016 but now it's too late for him
