If this wasn’t written by AI it sure is good at sounding like it.
Trying?
Sounds like that must be really tough on you. Thoughts and prayers buddy!
Somehow this is simultaneously the most and least self-aware comment section I've seen on HN.
Its only Monday, but calling an Arch installation “basic tech literacy” is the funniest thing I’ll read this week.

I was (jokingly) commenting on your curious definition of the word nitpick, but yeah, guess I should have read the article. Thank you for your advice.

> Actually 'nitpicking' is when you assume someone didn't read an article whenever their post references the title of the article.

Well that just can't be accurate.

Also, bonus points for nitpicking someone's use of the word nitpicking.

I guess what I'm saying is I'd pay more to charge my mouse every six months rather than every two weeks.

I own this mouse. The battery needs replacing every couple weeks. I would have paid twice the price for something rechargeable (before I knew how spotty the scrolling is).

This is the funniest hill to die on. Thank you.
I honestly can’t tell if this is sarcastic.

Seems pretty clear to me.

Let's be fair and compare similar products. Do you have any examples of $2000 mobile devices that support eye tracking on the OS level? The products you mention look like they're extra hardware you strap to a Windows PC. Certainly useful, but not quite as potentially life-changing as having that built into your phone.
> no dentist or hygienist will mention it to you because, well you know why.

Every single dentist I've been to has told me this method. Maybe it's a regional thing?
