Why is this phone barely lighter than an iPhone air with a massively bigger screen, two camera lenses, etc? I'm glad it's not heavier, but I would have hoped for it to be the lightest phone -- by far. (Minimal 2 is 7g lighter than iPhone Air).

Tells you something about what Apple/Samsung/etc are able to achieve with their manufacturing and supply chains.

Indeed. I wish Apple would make an Uno -- just the front screen of the Duo. Half the (unfolded) width, half the weight.

Isn't this just the Air?

Very different aspect ratio. I can’t stand the regular iphones it’s impossible to use one handed without using that dumb flick gesture to bring the top of the screen down to the bottom half

No, it would be smaller, thinner, and lighter than the Air.

Apple, please make a new 12" Macbook for those of us who travel and want the lightest weight possible. Less than 2 lbs, thinner than the Air, but without the compromises of the Neo. I'd pay more than the Air price for this. Or, make the Air lighter and thinner (to match the iPhone Air in approach?).

- 2.03 lb on the old 12" books

- 2.7 lb on the 13" neo and 13.6" air

does that 2/3 lb difference really matter in a ~10–15 lb backpack?

Minus is a finite social platform where users get 100 posts--for life. https://minus.social

That's an interesting concept. We could take that concept in general, and a person could write 100 essays (that they publish on whatever platform), and these 100 essays could comprise their magnum opus.

Amazing the distinction Sam sees between himself and Zuck while most see no distinction at all.

this is fun. my first test hits 125wpm. bursts up to 162wpm. 100% accuracy. seems too easy, though -- no capitals, nums, etc?

Wow, insane numbers!

Give typequicker.com/practice a try -(we’ve got a few text topics to choose from and capitals, numbers, etc) - just hit configure

More accurate would be to call it TikTok for Links, not for text, as text without links isn't allowed.

This drives me nuts. I want to listen to an album, not a song. But I'm guessing this is an old-school POV that the younger demographic doesn't agree with.

I'm not young anymore (35) but I really don't care about albums

This is mostly just using the keyboard to manipulate the rhythm/time performance of a pre-configured score. Interesting, but not what most would think of as jazz improvisation.

Not exactly. It is far more random than that. As far as I can tell, it plays random notes from a pre-loaded scale - occasionally chords, and punctuation marks play chords. Backspace plays a descending scale.

The aesthetics of it, including typography and sounds are very nice.

And typing () leads to a special easter egg :)

That's the case in "Free Form" mode.

If you click the eight note with a plus next you get pre-configured scores that you can just manipulate the rhythm on.

Wow I did not see the controls over there at all

I wonder how this technique differs from CPAP. CPAP doesn't use pure O2, but perhaps the pressures can be similar?

For years now I have used "-pinterest" on every regular search term I utilize (I bake that into any Google bookmark). Would applaud the removal of Pinterest from search results.

Google has given up on improving search, much like Microsoft did with IE6 when it became the dominant player. Only real competition would force them to start improving again.

Here is my own userscript that removes any matching URL portions from Google search. It does it in a fancy way with stylesheets so that you never see the Quora, etc results even temporarily before they're removed. It also fixes Google Images to link directly to images again, removes all the tracking URL obfuscations, and more.

Should be more robust than the other alternatives listed, but if not, let me know. I'm always up for improving it more. Contributions also welcome.

Try this extension - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/personal-blocklist...

Blacklists domains from search results in 1-click

Firefox Version https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/personal-bloc...

Could you also make it to remove google amp?

I only use the script on my desktop, and so I've never seen an AMP result. I'd need to be able to use the 'inspect element' developer tool on mobile I suppose in order to see how to filter them. Not even sure the script works on mobile though.

How do you execute this?

Use a add on like greasemonkey

Excluding via search works but there is also a script [0] - not affiliated - which you can use to block other domains as well.

even google had their own extension to do this few years ago until they deleted it from the chrome web store, personal blocklist was called.

There is now another alternative, ublacklist

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublacklist/pncfbmi...

-site:pinterest.* (hmm, I have to put something here or else the asterisk disappears.)

There's a Chrome extension called Unpinterested! [1] that automatically adds this to all Google Image search queries.

This is the better option, since it does not hide sites which simply contain the word "pinterest", but are not pinterest.

There's a a chrome extension, from Google, which provide a personal search block list.

There was an extension from Google but they discontinued it. 3rd party alternatives exist though.

This i do too with Quora too. It's too much
