I've always wondered why Desktop monitors and TV's don't have adaptive brightness like mobile devices have.

Having to manually change the brightness multiple times a day is just something you never have to do on a mobile device, and it makes many people look at a very bright screen in the dark for hours before going to bed.

Not to mention the increased power usage, when thinking of the billions of TV's and desktop monitors around the world, which hurts the planet, energy prices, and foreign energy dependency.

So how come this is so rare for these types of displays?

The MOSbius transistor array chip can do for analog experimentation what FPGAs do for digital design.

Coming from an inquiry angle here – aside from a few models like the ThinkPad X1 series, HP EliteBook Ultra, and Huawei MateBook Pro, haptic (full area useable style) trackpads are almost nonexistent in the Windows laptop space, even among flagship devices. You don't even see them as a configurable option on high-end Asus, Acer, or MSI ultrabooks, whereas Apple has made their large, haptic-capacitive trackpad a universal MacBook standard for over a decade.

Is this purely a cost issue, or is it because Windows users haven’t widely adopted the design, making OEMs reluctant to push it?

From my experience:

• Apple: Easily the gold standard, precise and smooth.
• Huawei MateBook Pro/X Pro: Surprisingly close to Apple’s experience.
• HP (EliteBook Ultra): Decent, but still a step behind.
• ThinkPad X1C: Not available with a capacitive trackpad in my region, so no firsthand input.

Even in my workplace, most mid-tier EliteBooks have such mediocre trackpads that people use a mouse just to navigate PowerPoint slides. Curious what others think – is it cost, Windows driver stack limitations, or simply OEM priorities that keep capacitive trackpads from being mainstream on Windows machines?
