Umm so you are blaming me but you have to smell it so who is the real winner?

My god if I could just get one compliment I could die happy.

A girl once told me I am not horrific to look at. God that fucked me up lol.

I’m pretty sure the lowest it could go is around 35% that’s when you get to the lizard alien people who think they are sending kids to mars to harvest adrenochrome out of them.

Really the fear of it happening is enough. All you have to do is have it happen once, or know someone that it happened to, or see a video of it for that to scare you off of even trying.

only one thing for it. Put as much indecent material in the library as possible. Also I used to work at a library and every now and then this like 80 year old dude would come in and say “show me where your dirty books are!” that guy was awesome.

Exactly. I imagine many people are in a similar situation. If things are stable, you are happy, and don’t see a need to change anything then why change anything?

Most people are kind of shitty, and therefore, most women are kind of shitty.

I don’t know if this is exactly inspiring anyone haha.

how do you know they are disaffected. Maybe they are single and just fine with it.

well then they should step up and start asking people out instead of waiting for guys to do it.

Every time I see an article like this I think who fucking cares? Like what’s going on with men? Its a generational and cultural thing its not men’s fault. Dating sucks, people get rejected in ultra harsh ways, sometimes being filmed and then posted on social media for trying to ask someone out. If I was in the age range to be dating I wouldn’t bother.

I hope people keep buying and that it keeps losing money. I hope all these assholes investing in it lose a shit ton of money.

The biggest one honestly is the lack of widevine support. you can build it manually from AUR which took me over 6 hours to do but I could never get it to actually work for DRM playback of anything. Not really sure why as I tried just about everything I could think of and followed all the tutorials but it just never worked. Also on arch the bluetooth doesn’t work ( maybe it’s fixed now ) so that was sort of a bummer. Of course all of this can be fixed and might be fixed one day but at the moment definitely more of a tinkering sort of device.

in terms of laptops it would be difficult to find one lighter unless you went with a plasticy chromebook or something. the pinetab comes to 2lbs 4 oz according to my measurements with the keyboard case.

I always say if you are going to jail go big!

Its a good thing we have Elon protecting free speech. What a fucking sham.

the pinetab can be fine once it’s actually loaded something like a browser but the loading times are a bit long. I’m not exactly sure as of the moment but last time I checked the cameras still didn’t work. I do a lot of video conferencing so no cameras is sort of not great as I always have to plug in an external. The pinetab is not compatible with pen input which is important for me as I do language learning as a hobby and don’t like to have to print out my worksheets if I can avoid it. Arm compatibility is not a problem until it is. Most of the time you think nothing of it until you run into some sort of software you need that isn’t compatible and then that is frustrating. Another thing no matter what I did I could not get widevine to work. This is not a problem for everyone I imagine but there is no way to stream DRM protected media. Even streaming non-drm media is choppy. If a pinetab is a secondary device with specific use case like e-reader, then it’s perfectly suited. However for me anyway it’s not good enough as a primary computing device. The starlabs starlite is actually functional enough that it’s replaced both my laptop and tablet. This is important for me as I don’t like to have lots of devices if I can avoid it I prefer the “one device to rule them all” sort of thing.

The only place the starlite gets hot is up near the charge ports on the upper right side. This is not a problem for me as I don’t hold it in that area. Also it doesn’t get so hot to be concerning ( I have had devices get hotter than this ).

tldr: Starlite -better compatibilitiy -better screen -more ram -faster processor -pen input -larger and faster storage -cameras that work

What I like about the pinetab -form factor ( very portable and nice to hold ) -keyboard - very pleasant to type on -ports : a great selection or ports but I wish they had display over usb-c -overall design : it looks really nerdy and is built solidly I love that. -battery life: They have really fixed the problems and battery is decent now.

yes it definitely can run hot at times but not too bad mostly during media playback. I would say it’s night and day in terms of how much better it is in terms of performance. Also compatibility is much better. I think the pinetab can be okay as a secondary device but it can be aggravating at times to use as a daily driver.

I remember lightscribe and thinking it was going to replace my need for sharpies but it was just a gimmick and while cool not very useful given the cost of disks

How much you want to bet they are going to feed the code base into ai and ask it to re-write it in a different language?
