The amount of people not knowing what a "web app" is, is seriously concerning.
Anyway, I tried "old" and Alexandrite, but I just ended up sticking with the default. I find "old" ugly, and on Alexandrite, I couldn't find my saved posts. Maybe it has been fixed since, but the default one works for me best.
I've switched to Gboard on Android back in the days, when it was the only one with proper multilingual features, and been using it ever since.
I've experienced the opposite: I actually found it rather more helpful than not, despite the occasional errors like you mentioned. But nowadays it's quite rare that it "mispredicts" a word. And what I've found extremely helpful is, that nowadays it doesn't only correct individual words, but it picks up other grammatical errors as well in the sentence. So it's working for me.
Luckily I'm not involved in this smart-TV saga in any way, as I haven't been watching TV since my childhood (there were no smart-TVs back then, but TV shows in my country were shit).
Now my biggest fear is, if enough people realize that smart-TVs are shit, then desktop monitors will start to become "smart" too. My life will be doomed if that happens.
Hmm that's unfortunate. Wherever I worked so far, ThinkPads didn't break, even after the warranty expired.
Well, I wish you better luck with your Framework laptop(s) then.
Check again.
At least the T580 I worked on was the best quality laptop I've laid my hands on. My current M1 MacBook Pro is close, to some extent. It's a great machine too, and obviously better in performance as it's newer, but in laptop keyboards, ThinkPad's is still no.1, not to talk about the track point that, to this day, no other manufacturer could properly reproduce. I worked with a Dell Latitude (a couple of years ago they were great), but the track point is shit on it.
Regarding maintenance, Lenovo provides detailed disassembly and repair guides, plus you can get replacement parts anytime.
Of course there are shit decisions on the ThinkPad line as well, but I still only can recommend them.
Well, I guess it depends on the use case. For me, mine was a damn good investment for sure.
I know. Still, that's the best hardware out there for laptops. I have to add though, only the T and P series are worth buying, the rest are trash.
Buying HP products is bad investment.
I only had the chance to two of their inkjet printers and one of their office laser printers, plus an elitebook laptop. In short, all of them suck.
Much better (to me, the best) alternatives, that I can safely say are good investments: Canon for inkjet printers, ThinkPad T and P series for laptops. Those are quality products. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with other office laser printers, so I cannot recommend one.
Edit: specified which series of ThankPads are still good.
Just as a mildly interesting story, I thought I'd share:
The best self checkout experience I had so far, was at a Japanese clothing store in Germany. There was a box at the checkout station, and each clothing item had an RFID in their labels. You just toss all your items in the box, it detects which exact products you're gonna buy, and if the list of items shown is correct, you just pay and go.
A few years ago I heard of a similar concept for groceries, but that one was experimental and I don't think they've implemented it ever since. But this one at the clothing store was not a test, and it worked flawlessly.
Oh. Someone at the EU Commission started to use websites? 🤔
I guess, any website served by Google Cloud wouldn't work either.
I'm using Deezer, because its Duo plan's T&C doesn't require couples to live in the same household. (Fuck Spotify because of their shitty plan.)
Unfortunately Deezer's Android app sucks, because it never reaches the server. Sometimes songs are just restarting or stopping, and you have to press the "add to favorites" button hundreds of times to finally successfully add it to your list. It's horrible. But in the browser it's smooth, there's no problem with it. I even find songs I would never expect to find there (much more than on Spotify). Also you can create playlists together with others, even if others are using a different streaming provider.
If your only choice is between YouTube and Spotify, I'd go for Spotify because fuck Google, and also Spotify app is smooth, and has the ability to control your music from your phone even when the music is playing on another device. (This is possible to do with 3rd party apps with any music player, but Spotify has it built in.)
