  • Windows Phone, particularly Windows Phone 8.1. It had its flaws, the biggest being the lack of third-party support of course but the UX was the best I’ve ever experienced on a mobile device.

    The UI was very different from Android/iOS but felt more consistent and intuitive. The Live Tiles especially were just such a good feature to get as much information as possible on one screen. And it all looked so incredibly good for the time with its silky smooth animations.

    It’s a shame Microsoft ruined it all with Windows Phone 10…



  • My brand new ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 has HDMI, two USB-A 5Gbps ports, a headset jack, a half-height Ethernet port, as well as two thunderbolt 4 ports and an optional smartcard reader.

    I agree that Apple kinda inadvertently ruined the port selection on many laptops for a while but it’s gotten better over the years; even Apple brought back HDMI and SD-Card readers.
