So much progress with this refresh and then they go and put a fucking notch in a laptop display? I literally don't have words for that. How this is in any way, shape, or form better than a slightly larger top bezel is beyond me. My currently laptop has 5/16" bezels and they look plenty small to my eye and in no way objectionable and houses enough crap in the top section to support windows hello (or whatever they call it) pseudo facial recognition for log-in purposes.

I'll start a new thread for this at some point but the Surface Laptop Studio (henceforth SLS) is here and is a pretty impressive device. Not sure I'd be happy to pay retail for it but yay work for ponying up. I've already played with the whiteboard app a bit and it's pretty neat. More follow but enough thread clogging for now.

Fall has finally arrived. So chili (no pic) and cast iron skillet cornbread.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

October is being rather un-Octoberish. It was 70 and sunny today, so I took advantage. Bike is in mullet mode for now after catching a stick last weekened and snapping six spokes in the primary rear wheel. Definitely handles a little weird with the 27.5 on the back and 29 on the front but was better than nothing for sure.

At $150 for 3lbs of coffee I'd say yes, you've got it pegged at excessive. Still, I'm sure it'll be a fun experiment.

One of the next-door neighbors brought back croissants from Paris (not kidding) and insisted that they be used within 24hrs. Challenge accepted. Bacon, fried egg, and cheese sandwich complete.

Work is affording me the opportunity to try this: Lot's to both like and maybe not like about it but given that it isn't my financial risk I figured why not? It had to be a Win-based machine and for mobile presentations and marking up submittals/schedules/etc. it could be a game changer.

It's PT, warping is what it does.

^^Nice ride! Daylight and daytime temps are beginning to conspire against longer road rides around here (not to mention kids' sports) so I made the most of the hour of free time that I had yesterday before dusk.

That's my guess of the model Reks is referring to. I'm thinking about getting one for my office.

Good luck, have fun!

Happy birthday!

We'll see if it's interesting enough for him/her/they/them to come back in a few weeks and rejoin the conversation.

Happy Birthday!

Looks fantastic to my eye!

Got up early to enjoy spectacular September weather.

A very happy birthday to you, my tall friend!

I think 5th place might be my favorite: one just because of proboscis and two just because. But so many of them are seriously cool, thanks for sharing @dsavitsk.

Rest in peace, Norm. Goddamnit he was funny.

On a semi-serious note the inclusion of a 3x optical zoom lens on the Pro phones is actually interesting to be. I use the telephoto lens on my ancient XS Max all the dang time (just 2x) and more capability there coupled with the wide-angle side of things is great in my opinion. I'm edging closer to the idea that my phone really has replaced 99% of what I'd use a traditional SLR or mirrorless camera for but with kids and sports I keep creeping back towards the dark side...

Is it a new iPhone? I bet it's a new iPhone. Did I get it right? I literally LOL'd at this.
