What country are you talking about? The schengen area is for trade, didn't need to join the whole union for that

Only dualboot with windows on a separate drive, that hasn't given me any issues in the past 5 years or so

I feel most replies have never used those products and are recommending options which just don't work well enough imo. I have a VM for Fusion 360, but it's really not fast enough for day to day use. Things like wine just don't work. You're gonna have to suck it up and either dual boot, or run a VM with GPU passthrough to get hardware acceleration in your VM.

Maybe you can split your GPU for a VM but I haven't figured that out yet

Edit: if you do dualboot, you can put all your stuff on a separate partition (documents, downloads etc) and share that between the systems so you always have access to your stuff

Kyoto didn't impress me that much, but the forest was one of the greatest disappointments of my trip, even it there wouldn't be A lot of people it would've been very mid

Cheap camera lenses are a drug

Tablets are kind of in the middle of nowhere in terms of functionality at the moment, bigger and less practical than a phone, while being less capable than laptops. Its a shame, because on paper they look pretty great and they are insanely powerful nowadays

What about headphones with a replaceable cable? Higher quality cables usually last longer aswell

I hope my point has now fully come across. 👍

Yeah took a bit, I still don't really agree as the cons outweigh the pros imo, but it's all very subjective anyways

Cherry-picking is an issue when you're trying to make an argument because you're choosing a very complicated case on purpose when the more common cases are less complicated. That's gotta be a straw man argument or something similar? I dunno.

Ignoring cases where the system brakes down is just as much of a straw man argument, if not more so than giving difficult albeit rare circumstances more attention. In my opinion atleast...

Did you mean to say something other than fractions here? If not, I'm confused.

Yeah I meant decimals, sorry.

I also agree that this isn't really about metric vs imperial necessarily, although fractions are definitely more commonly used in the imperial system.

But common measuring devices rarely mark even fractions of cm. That's the only issue.

Well then to be even more specific, electronic measuring devices pretty much always mark in decimals anyways, even for imperial. If I take my digital calipers for example, if I set them to inch, they'll measure with 4 decimal places! Compared to only 2 on mm.

Arguing that inches are a more comfortable sizes is for one, very field dependent and second, my biggest issue with the entire imperial system; It's mostly just based on vibes, rather than practical use or precision. We might have a different background but I have a background in design and currently work in the hydraulic sector. And let me tell you, hydraulic fluids at 300 bar (4350 PSI) don't care whether something was made at exactly 1/4" or not, but they do care when the gap between parts is 0,1 mm (0,004 inch, also known as 4 thou) more or less

Does that go into effect for all devices on sale, or only for devices released after that date? Also, that software support section is great. That basically means all phones need atleast 6 years of support

The EU is way too big to just withdraw from

I don't see how cherry picking is an issue when that issue literally can't happen when you're working with fractions, I also don't think those sizes are particularly uncommon?
