Not everyone lives the same way. I am seriously considering a Mac Mini as my next upgrade yet I live in a RV and move frequently. Are there ways that I can keep the Mac mini powered while traveling.. sure, but why would/should I?
Are you not turning off entire circuits to reduce power draw when mobile? I’m actually thinking about one of these for my truck camper and its power draw seems fine, but the stumbling point for me is the additional power draw from the monitor it would require. I think I’m leaning toward an M4 MBP with nano textured screen for maximum power efficiency and ability to work outside when it’s nice, though I have not yet put much effort into researching efficient monitors
Don’t discount 10m voice or digital modes. You can absolutely work the world with minimal equipment and power on 10m, especially when the sunspots are active.
I’m told it’s because the period is considered passive-aggressive. I assume it’s too formal final; maybe The Kids These Days hold out hope that a sentence might not really be over? At any rate whoever got the McDonald’s account embraces it wholeheartedly.
Only when sending a one-sentence text, where the beginning and end of the sentence are clearly the bounds of the text itself. You see periods still between sentences of multi-sentence texts. Sometimes other markers are used like ellipsis or emoji.
I really genuinely like this change for orthography. The feel & sound of spoken language is highly sensitive to the context and formality: you talk differently giving a speech than you do at dinner with your family etc. It's cool that we're adapting the written forms to more completely express the full range of formality that we actually produce written language in now.
The details of orthography are all just convention and tradition anyway. As much as it pains prescriptivists and peaked-in-high-school wellactually pedants the true language is the spoken and writing is merely a tool we use to represent it. These additions make writing a more complete & capable representation.
And from a more CS view it's cool too. We've hijacked sometimes-redundant punctuation to convey nuances of tone and intent. Essentially increasing the "bandwidth" of writing.
