I don’t think this is entirely true for the simple fact that my routine was to wake up at 6:30 am and go to bed at 10pm everyday for school from the ages of 5 to 18. In that time there was never a morning that I didn’t absolutely hate waking up that early.
Some people’s biological clocks simply run later than others. For example, I now wake up at 10 am and sleep usually around 3 am, and feel fantastic.
I purchased an RTC stainless steel insulated tumbler in 2015. It’s the only cup I ever use and it’s still going strong after daily use and still looks brand new. Was 20 bucks (they were clearly undercutting Yeti at the time). It’s been a solid purchase, I think the same cup from them now runs 40 bucks on Amazon.
Then again I’m still using the same plastic ninja turtle bowl I got from a box of Cookie Crisp cereal in 1988… So anything will last a very long time with care.
I actually generally like Asus as well, I pretty much use them exclusively for my motherboards, despite my disappointment with their pricing schemes the past few years. I also have a set of their pro art monitors from a while back still going strong. I will say the recent horror stories of their customer service for pc parts has me a bit concerned but I have been lucky and have never had an issue with their stuff yet. Never tried a video card from them though.
As for tablets in general, reading comics in bed is one of the only things that makes me want to try a tablet again. However, whenever I remember that transformer it just re-ignites my hatred. 😆 One day my rage might subside but until then I’m done with tablets. I’ve actually considered my next phone to be a folding one to see if that can get the job done for reading comics in bed with the bigger screen.
Good! Motherboard prices have been wildly out of control for a while now. Asus selling 1k motherboards when that same tier of motherboard used to top out at 400 bucks max. Let these greedy fucks have their lunch.
As a fellow Asus Transformer survivor, I feel your pain! I’ve never actively hated a piece of tech as much and as fast as that pos. Pretty sure I downloaded that same update that basically made it so slow it transformed it into a paperweight. I have never purchased another tablet after that because it turned me off to the whole idea permanently.
I’ve had the same experience with KDE connect. I’ve been using linux since 1998 and still can’t seem to get KDE connect to actually work properly. However, on the other hand local send works perfectly every…single…time… with literally zero effort. I mainly use it to quickly send files back and forth between my PC and phone.
