Some people don't have the space at home to set up a working area and really want to just go to an office that their employer pays for, and that's fine.
If only there was some way to take that link to the article and use it to find out what the article says.
Never know when you'll have a flush of inspiration.
I switched my laptop to Wayland about three years ago. AMD graphics, normal DPI 60Hz screen, doesn't really do more than run a web browser.
My gaming desktop needed more of those troublesome edge cases hammered out - freesync in xwayland, app DPI scaling in xwayland, etc. I only switched it last year.
It's more expensive than solar, wind and batteries, though. Not just coal or gas.
I'd argue the root cause was Nvidia insisting that X11 was the future, they'd never support Wayland, and refusing to participate in any of the design processes. As a result when they got dragged kicking and screaming into supporting Wayland, nothing that had been developed without Nvidia suited their hardware or drivers.
They first tried to throw their weight around by forcing EGLStreams on everyone, failed, and they've been scrambling to catch up ever since.
This. I once sat in stationary traffic for an hour and a half because a truck rolled over on a major highway. Nowadays I put my destination into Waze and if the best route is a long detour I just turn the car off and go back inside.
Well, we've now got Steam Deck turning your portable console into a full PC, just connect a keyboard. Also no need to buy a Steam Deck version of that game you bought on Steam ten years ago, it's already there and probably runs great.
It might be that proprietary, single purpose gaming portables are going to lose to more flexible portables even if smartphones are too limited to do the job.
Every other country already has similar standards, though. So they don't need to design anything new, they can just actually start selling those cars in Australia instead of their obsolete junk that can't be sold anywhere else.
TIL there's an Amazon app store.
If there's something really important on that disk, don't do ANYTHING, just unplug it and hand it over to a data recovery company.
If there isn't anything really important on there, go ahead and try and do it yourself.
Paying $100 to a data recovery company can save you a ton of headaches if it has the only copy of your thesis on there and you mess it up trying to fix things yourself.
