Routinely seen this cause drama between people with poor communication.

Nosy friend with it? Get ready for I’m coming by or what are you doing there texts.

know some people who use it to pick up drunk friends just in case. For emergencies. Do they use it like her? Noooooooopeeeee

Most people lack the maturity for this. It skeeves me the fuck out.

Of the 200 elderly I see maybe 75% still use the book or a variation of it.

The best is when they use iPad notes or even their fucking contacts to save info lol

Bought a 9 incher for server because I sucked at remoting in.

Fairly delicate but it was like 40 dollars. It is serviceable and serves the need. Am able to complete simple tasks via the touch screen. It kinda spazzes out with multi selecting/ touch but again 40 dollars.

Cords are fairly obtrusive but never bugged me. Solved by getting on that’s mini hdmi or c like the other poster mentioned.

Can turn it off with a little switch in the back which it’s mostly off. No issue on power up. Quicker than my dells honestly

I realize this is the dumbest setup but it works 🤷

Great story.

Even if anecdotal fuck all of that better safe than sorry.

My dad use to say that Facebook listened to him back in the 2010s. We blew him off as conspiracy nut.

He would say diamond ring diamond ring diamond ring and then all his ads would change next day. We blew him off as conspriatorial and now the algorithm is common knowledge.

Who knows. Scary.

POS

Minority report ads but somehow even more vapid

I like manjaro. It has been my most consistent with my nvidia hardware.

Not gonna act like I’m an expert or anything but manjaros been great for me. Tried fedora, mint, Debian, garuda, endeavor, maybe some others forgetting

Most digital signage I see is a Chromebox running a specific kiosk software.

android on occasion as well

Then estrogen.

“Social media and it’s consequences have been a disaster for the human race.”

Echo nobara.

Been the most stable nvidia experience for my odd setup.

Able to handle an ultrawide and normal monitor 1440 at different hz and one is display port other is hdmi.

Would run into the occasional hickup with manjaro. Been all good on nobara

Hp and Microsoft are two sides of the same shit coin.

Do a lot of tech support for older retired professionals. I believe 90% of hps business are these people. They used their products when they were working and believe they are still a reliable product.

Between the ink subscriptions and the absolute nightmare of that fucking app have had 7 hp printers stop working since January exclusively because of software.

There was an article on here a while ago showing the sticker that hp put over the usb port in an effort to get you to register the product and use their app. It’s literally a sticker covering the port direct from the manufacturer. Saw one in real life last month and was still dumbfounded.

Everyone wants you on the subscription tit it seems.

Fucking up is always the best way to learn. Could have seen myself doing the same thing if I hadn’t just read this lol

Have been using the flip 3 for a couple years.

I love the small design. Is it a Gimmick? Yeah probably. Do I like that Gimmick? Absolutely. It would he difficult to go back to a big ass phone. Routinely carry it at work by the ring on the case. Removes my need for a watch since I can easily reply or answer when it’s closed, control media, etc.

Love to see more unique smart phone options. The phones were too samey for too long. This budget option could help that innovation even more.

That looks very neat. If ever get a smart watch will definitely try this out. Thanks.

Am also new, have tried 2 distros. Not even close to an expert but this had been my experience as a new user.

Mint was easy but a little too squeaky for me.

Used manjaro next and like the environment of xfce over cinnamon by a large margin.

As others suggested would try out a couple first, possibly on an old laptop. Then when you find the one you like can switch over your main system.
