There is no trick. This will require active repragramming from you for months.

I couldn’t find a quit method that took the fight out of my addiction. You have to want to quit more than your addiction. That’s nice but doesn’t mean much.

I found in practice, this equates to action in meeting cravings with determination. Even if you don’t really feel it. You’re used to feeling anxious/angry/sad/sorry for yourself when you can’t have a cigarette. Take back that moment, that feeling. Redefine it. It’s a battle you’re choosing, and the best thing you can do is practice fighting it.

The plus side is, the battle will change as you fight it. So you won’t get bored!

The first two weeks are the hardest.

You already know the first fight, if you’ve ever had to wait for the shops to open to buy some cigarettes or tobacco. You’ve just got to raw dog that. It’s going to suck, but it will at least suck with purpose.

After about 4 days, I started getting spiky, intense cravings that passed after about 30 mins to an hour. Several times a day.

By week two, I only struggled when I was around smokers, saw it on tv, read about it, had a drink (it’s still hard).

There was a resurgence in cravings in month two. I felt I’d earned a puff or two. This is a trap. Notice it, it’s a useful trigger to double down on deciding not to smoke

I’m now a year in off of vaping and cigarettes. It’s still sometimes hard, but mostly I don’t think about it, except to be glad I don’t need to go for a smoke. I don’t miss things at parties anymore. I don’t miss moments with my daughter. Plane rides are way easier.

Yeah, and the toys sold at bad-dragon.com are plenty firm

Hell yeah. Every one of these threads makes me more inclined to read man pages

Seems likely! Not me, but my experience mirrors it pretty closely

It’s roughly the same. I never used the tabbing features, so I can’t comment. But until wayland came along, it was always there for me, working away just fine.

Thirded, foot for me!

I wanted to love it, but I keep getting crashes in mixed dpi environments on wayland.

I moved to foot instead. Bare bones, but unobtrusive enough. Shame the scrollbar is jank.

How does that work for broadcasts from your device, designed to prompt beacons from dorman aps you might have joined before? Once you join it provides a random mac, but before then?

Or even waydroid if you must have the app

Yeah, though there’s some commandline shenanigans to get a tpm shim set up if you want it for windows 11

You could do it in 6GB of RAM with windows subsystem for linux.

S3 is what people actually think of when they think of sleep mode, or modern standby. The running state of the operating system is stored in RAM, in low power mode. All context for the cpu, other hardware like disks and network is lost and those devices are completely shut down - bar the RAM. Basically, you close the lid at the end of the day, and you’re nearly at the same charge level the next morning.

This saves a lot of power. On my older 8th gen intel cpu laptop, it loses maybe 1-2% charge per day in this mode.

My new 13th gen laptop still has deep sleep, or standby (s3) as a hardware function, but it’s technically not supported. It actually doesn’t work when enabled, and just falls back to s1 (sleep, everything’s still on, just in low power mode). It loses about 2-3% per hour in this mode

S4 (Hibernate) does roughly the same as S3, but the OS state is stored to the disk instead of ram, so that can be shut off too. Now the device is completely powered off, losing no charge while ‘asleep’.

S5 is off

S4 sleep takes much longer to wake up from than s3, so was less desirable. In the modern computing world (especially end user devices), commonly there’s full disk encryption going on, which adds a layer of complexity to resuming from disk, as you would when waking up from hibernation (s4).

Making it resume without putting in a decryption password for example (using a TPM), isn’t simple, and breaks a lot when you do system upgades

I can honestly say my space grey first-gen magic keyboard has served me well. It sits on my desk at work, I use it every day, and it only needs charging once every few months.

The only thing I’ve ever done to damage it is pulling the z key off to clean between the keys, I tried to jam it back on wrong and ruined part of the scissor mechanism

My next keyboard may yet be one of the newer models, but it’s to expensive to pull the trigger yet.

Having tried it in person, I’m also considering the logitech mx keys mac variant. I didn’t even notice the key shaping while actually typing, and it’s the first keyboard I’d say comes close to being a magic keyboard replacement.

I like the option(alt)/command(super) switched layout.

I’ve got a keychron k3 ultra v2 too. I finally gave in on the mechanical keyboard train and splurged a bit - but now:

• I need a wrist rest, even this ultra low profile version is way higher than I’m used to.
• I hate the layout (my own fault for buying the most cramped version)
• On linux at least, bluetooth is not the greatest (sometimes needs a keyboard restart to fix key send delay and repeat keys)
• I picked the optical (cherry mx red equivelant) switches and they’re mushy af.

I’ve had the white slim first-gen mini magic keyboard for years too. The battery swelled up, so I removed it and use it wired now. That was probably 8/9 years old.

As shocking as this might be, I think he’s agreeing, and offering supplimentary proof
