Yeah I installed a Windows dual boot on my old MacBook Air a bit ago to try some windows-only software and the installation experience is horrific, also drivers I forgot are a thing for even common devices like audio interfaces or input devices. Nothing works out of the box. Updates are a mess. The only way they have market dominance still is because of app exclusivity and OEM partnerships

Yeah so if you look in display settings you’ll see that the display orientation is actually set as “upside down”. So it knows that this is upside down from the displays perspective, so I’m assuming that means the accelerometer is telling us the opposite of our orientation on that axis. In portrait mode it works as expected. Really weird. No idea how to fix that

random side note: this is my first keyboard that doesn’t have a Windows or ⌘ symbol on it. Just the word “Super” which is pretty cool!

If you want one, buying it with elementary OS helps support development so that’s much appreciated. There’s definitely plenty of work to do to make it a really great tablet, still. So temper expectations a little bit. But I’m going to be building and testing against this hardware so you have that to look forward to! https://us.starlabs.systems/pages/starlite

Did I mention that the display is gorgeous? Like so pretty oh my god

Pen works out of the box. Didn't need to do anything at all to set it up and it shows up in Wacom settings (Which maybe we should rename to Drawing?)

Getting OS 8 on it now 😊 There’s an issue here that wasn’t in OS 7 where the accelerometer appears to make the device think it’s upside down. Luckily we have rotation lock in quick settings now so that’s not hard to work around ha

Camera situation is also not good. elementary Camera has really bad performance and photos look way overexposed and out of focus, but you can switch between both the front facing and rear facing camera. GNOME Camera's photos looks a LOT better and it has great performance, but it's not possible to switch to the front facing camera.

On screen keyboard doesn’t kick in ootb and when you do turn it on the default settings are really bad. This is obviously an elementary/Pantheon problem and not a Star Labs problem. That’s why we got the device is to fix these issues :)

Keyboard case snaps on very easily. It’s backlit and the keys feel good. I had no problem typing right away. The pen holder is really snug. I was scared at first of breaking the hinge for the kickstand, it’s really stiff. The display is absolutely beautiful, but it definitely needs a color profile. It’s a big pinkish ootb

Here it is side by side with a 13" iPad Pro. Honestly extremely impressive. The top and bottom bezels are noticeably larger but the side bezels are smaller and it’s not much thicker than the iPad. Which imo is an incredible feat

I don’t know if I just accidentally ordered extra stuff or they gave me extra stuff but I have two pens and an extra USB C cable and it has like dongles and look how tiny that charging brick is! It’s so cute

Yeah I mean I think you just can’t change gendering objects tbh. In Spanish we have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elle_(Spanish_pronoun) for nonbinary folks now which is cool

2024-05-27 16:56:55

I just called my air purifier “he” which implies that there’s some deep inner part of my understanding of gender that associates air purification with masculinity

I don’t know how or where to start but I want to build things that solve problems for people that are really struggling to just make it every day. I want to build things that matter

The more I think about it, the major problems in tech and in society in general is that all the investment is going to solve problems that white affluent men have

So many people could do so many more good and interesting things if they weren’t stuck spending time fundraising

“Light trucks” and SUVs need to be taxed way harder. There’s way too many people driving around in fucking massive cars for no reason. They pollute more, they wear our roads more, they are more dangerous to others, there needs to be fewer of them. There needs to be fewer cars in general but there really needs to be fewer large cars

Haven’t posted a photo of my little coffee/snack bar in a while, but especially if you work from home and/or have ADHD I highly recommend making one of these. Bonus points for a little chalkboard with affirmations/encouragement/mantras

Look if a child is saying, “talk to my parents about my gender? No thanks I’d rather watch in horror as my body monstrously transforms before my very eyes knowing that I could obtain the cure at any time through that conversation”, I think I’ll trust that they’ve weighed that option a bit

The phrase “AI” has been poisoned so hard that nobody building serious products should use it. I would love to see more free software projects leverage computer vision or natural language processing for example, but I would never describe those as “AI” because it’s a brand destroying phrase at this point

I’m literally biohacking, Karen. These titties are a biological reality. Get wrecked

2024-03-27 23:13:26

Transphobic people always try to make the argument that trans people ignore biological reality. They’re always wrong and it’s always projection
