Got it. Yeah, I can see how that requires a lot of prep work and I imagine the process of choosing the right candidate on a list in the moment is probably a bit of a hassle as well.
I was mostly referring to closed list systems where you vote for the party list or open lists where you just pick whichever top candidates the party proposes unless you actively want to skip over somebody you dislike.

Wait, the establishment does NOT decide who is on top of the list? That does sound like a hassle.
Does Finland use open or closed lists? In the places I've known first hand that used closed lists people weren't necessarily researching their individual local list as much as expressing party support, but that may shift with different implementations.

Much as no system is perfect, that is one thing I appreciate about list-based electoral systems. Voting for the collective group as opposed to making it a very personal "I support THIS guy" endorsement really mellows the cult of personality aspect of things.

The only reason I didn't pull the trigger on the M-series iPads is Apple's stupid decision to lock them to iPadOS (and/or to not make a touchscreen MacBook Air).
Samsung Dex is alright, but it's no full Win11. I don't see any reason to buy any other ultrabook or tablet device until Apple gets the memo or Samsung starts making Galaxy Tabs with Windows.
It took a while, but someobdy finally figured it out, and nobody will know because MS is SO bad at marketing.

Sooo... Windows on ARM kinda rocks?
I wanted a media device upgrade and went for a Surface Pro 11 and after many years of Windows 2-in-1s having a Windows tablet that just... turns on like a phone and goes to sleep like a phone and has 10 hours of screen-on battery like a phone is weirdly cool and slightly surreal.
I don't know that I think it makes as much sense for a working laptop or a desktop replacement, but the Surface Pro specifically it's a no-brainer.

Will you? At the time the visuals of FF were enough to make me crave it, but I remember looking at FF2 and being very ok with not playing it.
Part of it was better beat'em ups coming out in the intervening years, but it also looks and feels fairly boring even out of context. The exact same thing happened to Golden Axe, too.

I've been having this conversation a lot. The scary part is less trying to make people understand that they need to fact check any automated response they get from LLMs, the scary part is that nobody seemed to realize they already had to do that with the old version from dumb algorithms.
In any case, the tech is fascianting, the applications they are trying to deploy for it often range from conceptually broken to inefficient, but that doesn't mean it's useless.
