You seem like a great parent! I’m personally leaning towards giving them dumb phones once they have to take public transport to school, for the convenience of them being able to inform me when they miss the bus or want to have lunch at a friend’s. But who knows if or when I’ll even have kids, lol. Maybe things will change in that time.
When I was kind of strapped on cash, the 2016 iphone SE was the most best choice by far. The android phones I’d had before that usually cost a similar amount and they all broke in less than three years. But that 290€ bad boy lasted until I lost it in 2023. Shame they’re no longer making those. But I guess the silver lining is that people don’t make fun of me for having an iPhone anymore.
My highschool PCs had XP for as long as at all possible. They switched them to some beginner friendly Linux after. Way to go.
You could literally just save a copy to your desktop before you’re going to do something sensitive.
What about the libre office version?
I’m currently working with some code that partly was written in the punch card era.
We’re almost like coding siblings lol
That’s the first time I’m hearing this experience, thanks for the input! Changed my mind
While that’s true, there are objectively different levels of ‘just working’ though.
I’ve never spent so little time googling how to fix things as I do with Ubuntu or Mint. It’s much more frequently needed and time consuming on other Linux OSs, iOS, Windows, Android. Haven’t personally used Mac.
Also, I’ve always found a fix on Ubuntu. The same can’t be said for other OSs.
That’s just personal examples, but the general idea still stands: different systems have a different amount of bugs, (or worse, ‘features’) and the difficulty of fixing them isn’t the same for everything either.
How dare you. I’m a physicist, not an engineer.
I used to play this game with Google translate when it was newish
Nah my death wish is too passive
Pursue a particle physics degree

I never would’ve gotten that!
Ha, neat!
Can you please explain? I’ve never used Mac and it’s been a long time since I’ve properly used windows.
You don’t need to know what they consider active, just give them a toggle so they can decide.
My guess is if you’re already dealing with heart related issues like hypertension and high pulse, you’re more likely to skip coffee. Either because your doctor told you to or because it makes you feel worse.
The wavelength of the light both influences what materials they penetrate and at what angle they get scattered. Can’t speak for this particular material, but UV has a smaller wavelength than visible light, which gives it a smaller scattering angle. So it gets scattered more all over the place and makes it around little corners more easily. And you’ll never be able to tell whether or not it was dangerous because you can’t sense UV in any way.
