Nope, that did not change.

That's not true. You can absolutely use ls and other commands to poke around before creating the winning command.

You're overthinking it. You can get quite far with a bit of ls or find . -type f exploration

Failing to understand the basic requirement is not, IMHO, overthinking it.

I will admit, as I reread the question and the hint just now, that I just didn't read carefully the first time through. It's actually pretty clear. Sigh.

People's minds work quite differently ... As evidenced by people that have strong reactions to particular languages (love or hate), or, as another example, people that love or hate syntax coloring in code. (Yes, it gets in the way for some). The fact that the instructions didn't make the problem clear to me is not an overthinking problem on my part. It would be better for me if the problems were expressed in different ways.

When trying to communicate, saying the same thing two different ways is a big step towards helping deal with the variance in people's minds. I wish they'd done that with some of the questions.


It was a child of times when stuff like proprietary banking apps were not a thing.

Still, I think the Jolla Phone would make a great second "toy" phone, if you have the budget for a 500€ toy.


People still do.

But it's not the people who write them, but those who sell the LLMs trained on those blogs.


    It's just hard to justify engaging.
Well, if your try and force yourself to engage with multiple people, the site won't let you post that many comments in such a short time period. Which, overall, is a good thing I believe.

This. The Elitebooks are quite nice, except for the cheap screen options (prone to ghosting).

If there was one perfect laptop manufacturer out there, there wouldn't be a need for competition. I care less about ghosting issues since I'm not using mine for gaming or other tasks where image clarity with visual movement is necessary, and more about flexibility with changes in ram and disk size, since those are things I'll likely upgrade over time. Also, most of the time, my laptop is plugged into a dock using monitors instead of the built-in screen.

I've also looked at and really like Framework, but for the times I am using the screen, I require touch, so that's a non-starter.



I would probably prefer the laser and the pen/knife machine to be separate, and for the price that seems like it would be reasonable to accommodate. However, this is a nice looking machine and the Hot Foil Pen is interesting.

On Android, RCS always seems to work great until it suddenly doesn't.


Since last year, TB has native caldav/carddav support.
