There will be national elections in fifty-four countries in 2024. Could be an interesting year.

I’ve never seen a broken down Daihatsu.

Quite a lot of the cars I see broken down are Mercedes Benz, BMW and Jaguar.

What do techies and geeks use for messaging these days? I noticed on the Librewolf site they were using Lemmy and Matrix for support and discussion.

Mmm, I don’t think so.

Some days my parents seem very old. Other days they seem quite strong and lively.

I think they’re just making stuff up now.

This one I’m looking at is similar to the screens you used to get on traditional car sat navs. Not quite as bad as them but nearly.

It's not just resolution though. The screen has a weird, rough, grainy, plasticky appearance. When you're quite close you can see a myriad of tiny, multi-coloured speckles. On Macs it's like crystal clear glass even at low res.

On resolution: even my 16 incher comes set up at 1728x1117. I normally use it at 2056x1329 for a bit more luxuriousness without hammering the battery too much. On occasion, I'll put it to its maximum 3456x2234 (slightly less than 4K) to watch a 4K vid. But who is gonna use a laptop day-to-day at 4K? The desktop is another matter.

Going from the the 16" MacBook Pro to this is a gigantic come down, but even compared to a non-retina mac laptop of similar size it shames itself.
