So 1920 rows x 1080 columns.

No, it's definitely 1920 columns and 1080 rows.

So yeah the sticker is right but OP is wrong.

I don't know what the sticker is trying to say. I can read it in two ways, and one of them is kind of correct while the other is definitely wrong. And that is unnecessarily confusing, and therefore mildly infuriating.

I don't know what you think OP is wrong about.

These numbers refer to the rows, so the horizontal resolution.

Yes, that is the number of rows. But that makes it the vertical resolution. There's 1080 pixels from top to bottom. If the arrows/triangles are indicating the direction of measurement, they are wrong.

I suspect that it's an attempt at indicating a wide screen. 16:9, 16:10 etc was fairly new at the time, many buyers would be expecting their usual 4:3 screen ratio.

Number of features that is has? Sure.

Number of features that I need? Google Sheets wins.

As I use Excel at work, I'd be happy if you prove me wrong here. Just yesterday I needed to do a simple search/replace with regular expressions. My solution was to copy the data to Google Sheets.

I spent some time looking into this, getting nowhere. What's your favorite library that actually works for you?

I don't use a sound bar because it's cheap, I can get surround sound for half the price.

I use a sound bar because I don't want speakers anywhere but on the TV, plus a subwoofer hidden away.

And it sounds waaay better than just the TV.

(Although the box said that it delivers surround sound, but in that respect it's no better than the built in speakers, as expected.)

Charge the powerbank with the public charger. No data to steal, no expensive phone with sensitive electronics to break.

But I have seen multiple phones get harmed by a really bad charger. Although these chargers were not for public use.

Still, it's not a bad idea to bring a power bank. And then charge that, if you need to.

I don't know about Germany, but in Denmark (their neighbor to the north), you ask the employee for a statement from the doctor. The employer pays the doctors fee, and there are strict rules about when they can even ask for it.

They can just leave it at full.

I believe scientific studies say it's somewhere around half of each.

The reason you don't see that, is because it's considered socially unacceptable to get socially drained, so we learn to hide it, usually from very young.

I think we are somewhat on the same page here. What matters isn't the word you use, it's the intention behind, which is hopefully obvious from context.

When I get called a nerd, my response goes anywhere between being proud and being insulted depending on context. The word itself has no emotion by itself.

Shouldn't it be the same with many of these words that some people consider racist?

Their circle of friends may not be like yours.

I know plenty of people like what you are describing (always near at least one phone), but they are still impossible to reach quickly. Even when they expect a call, they can have their phone in Do Not Disturb mode. Or they ran out of battery, and didn't think to turn it on after plugging it in. Most of the time I have no idea what the issue is.

Also, he might live in an area with few options. Specially on short notice. Maybe the closest alternative with a somewhat similar style is far away, so even if you can get a reservation , not everybody will be able to get there before dinner time.

Basically, when he says it's hard for him, maybe just trust that he knows his life better than you do.
