I thought 'bae' was some weird bastardisation of 'babe' that caught on from a mobile typo. didn't know it was an acronym.

Twitter's what you make of it. I never tweet but I follow a handful of interesting people, it's mostly just shouts to links on the web from learned people, actively engaged in their respective fields.

It's kind of like reddit tbh, switch off all the defaults and find some choice subs you're interested in and your FP becomes filled with the same things.

You've mentioned several times that Apple laptops, power adapters are shit build quality. What's a good brand in your opinion?

They're getting flak for it now. Every review for the Pixel C says the same thing, clever hardware design, software is infuriating to use, don't buy it, you can get more for your money.

It does look like an interesting design, but IMO, iOS and Android both need a considerable rewrite when it comes to large format touch devices. They've both of them clearly been sized up from a small-screen device input paradigm. These large format devices need a completely different approach to UI/X, especially if they're built with hard keyboards in mind.

MS seem to be the only ones who've got it right so far; don't try an adapt a phone OS to the tablet environment, adapt a desktop OS to touch.
