I’m a new LyX user, and I would like to make a Beamer presentation. But I don’t understand how to perform some absolutely basic functions:
inserting a block in a frame that does not have one yet
defining the end of a frame so you can type content within the frame

Given that computers are pretty good for running office applications and web browsing, how do computer retailers market current technology now, given that old tech is pretty good for most peoples' purposes and has been for a long time now, especially if they put an SSD in there and there is sufficient RAM?
My Panasonic DMW-FL360L has stopped working. I get the blinking Auto Check and Test/Charge lights, which normally indicate that the batteries are depleted; however, even after installing a fully-charged set of batteries, I still get the blinking lights and the flash will not fire. The zoom head o...
@barlop Intel's spearheaded marketing efforts here to push upgrades. You have things like 2-in-1 laptops that can be used like tablets, ultra-thin form factors for greater portability, and SSDs that dramatically improve responsiveness, high-efficiency processors that enable very long battery life. These marketing efforts haven't seen a huge amount of success.
But these advances do feed somewhat into the high-end gaming segment of the market, where upgrade cycles are closer to three years than seven to ten. You also have advances like M.2 NVMe SSDs and higher-power versions of these efficient processors, plus things like NVIDIA Max-Q Design for thinner and lighter gaming systems (gaming laptops have traditionally been very thick and heavy, so this is a much more significant benefit for gamers than it is for ordinary PC users).
In essence, advances in performance, power management, cooling (extracting heat from a thin laptop isn't easy), and overall design have carried over into the gaming market where the margins are higher and upgrade cycles are shorter. The traditional PC market isn't dead and likely won't die completely, but it's becoming niche.
It should be noted that Intel's ongoing processor shortage hasn't helped here...
> PCs aren’t like smartphones, replaced every other year. To the vast majority of people, PCs are like microwaves—pricey appliances replaced only when they’re no longer able to fulfill their basic function.
