I'm glad so many people enjoyed my comment! Czech is a colorful language 😊

It's very interesting indeed, I tried to research the origin of the idiom but was unsuccessful 🤔

Unluckily, as Liliputing observed, the Framework mainboard with an alluring Ryzen 7 7840U costs basically the same as a fully kitted out and sleekly designed handheld like the ROG Ally.

"Unluckily"? I see this as an absolute win! Good luck swapping out or re-using components in the Ally!

Get a laser printer. The initial cost is a bit higher, but toner is much cheaper than ink in the long run, and it doesn't run dry

Or Ctrl+Click to open in a new tab in the background, or Ctrl+Shift+Click to open in a new tab and switch to it. Regardless, I agree with OP that this should be the default.

If you're serious about becoming fluent, apps will not give that to you. Ditch everything else and focus on input.

I'm using VSCodium daily and most extensions work, with the notable exception of official MS-published extensions, which mostly require VSCode.

Hyperfocus on the wrong thing

Apple holds 57% of the phones market versus Android’s 42% in the U.S., according to web traffic analysis site Statcounter. The data skews worse for Android when narrowed down to teenagers. According to a survey of 7,100 American teens last year conducted by investment bank Piper Sandler, 87% of teens currently have an iPhone, and 87% plan on sticking with the brand for their next phone. But the stigma regarding Android phones is mostly an American phenomenon, at least to the degree to which it affects purchase habits. Worldwide, per the same Statcounter report, Androids represent the significant majority of all smartphones, holding a 71% share of sales compared with Apple’s 28%.

From the article.

You explained it in the title and I was still wondering where the difference was 😅
