Rocking an MX Master 3. Best mouse I've ever used. It boggles my mind that the mouse can charge with USB-C but the receiver dongle is still USB-A.

If it means I only need one charger/interface cable for my phone, tablet, laptop, keyboard, mouse, external drive, yes, I'm a fan. I already switched to wireless headphones when my cat chewed through my second or third pair of Etymotics (honestly forget by now). He forbids me from wearing anything with wires. Other than that, give me USB-C or give me death.

I'm on the other side wishing peripherals would catch up and all become USB-C already. I'm tired of USB-A.

Give it a few more years. At this rate, by 2028, the entire back of the phone will be camera bump and you'll be able to lay it down on a flat surface at last.

I did, and it didn't work either. :(

I'm looking for one that works well on Android Automotive. So far I couldn't get OsmAnd to show the Android Auto UI on the full OS, or integrate with the home page (split screen music / maps), and none of the others I tried in F-droid worked at all. I need something because I'm tired of using my phone, and I don't have Google services on my tablet (flashed with a custom build of Lineage / Android Automotive OS).

It would be nice to have an open source version of the big screen systems they're putting in the newest cars...

Imagine something as outlandish as user serviceable infotainment systems. Like they used to have in the old days. I'm hanging on by a thread to my basic 2014 car which still has a double DIN slot I can put my own system into...some day

The company that didn't see the 3G sunset coming, I would think. I know auto moves slow, but damn...4G was out for what, 4-5 years before development likely started on the 2019 model year?

How is the 3G sunset not solvable by just swapping out a modem module for an LTE or 5G one and maybe installing some new modem firmware? A lot of cars are running a Linux kernel under the hood, so I'd think it's pretty well swap and go

Windows 3.1 did have a BSOD. It wasn't always fatal, you could try to hit enter to go back to Windows, but most of the time it wasn't really recoverable, Windows often wouldn't work right afterwards.

I ran into them all the time in 3.11 on our 486 which had some faulty RAM (the BSOD would even be scrambled). If we could get back to Windows after that, it'd just be in a zombie state where moving the mouse around would paint stuff over whatever was left on screen, and wouldn't respond to clicks or keypresses.

Fun times.

Regrets aplenty after some of the things I've drank, but none of them are about Debian.

How do these things not have unbrickable A/B firmware partitions by now? Even I have that on a $2 microcontroller. Self-test doesn't pass after an update? Instant automatic rollback to the previous working partition.
