They do! It’s like they never heard of EFTs. They also pay many of their bills manually, or even worse, some still mail a cheque in response to a bill they receive via snail mail.

Not strictly true. Firefox gets inferior support from cloud services, like Microsoft. Newer versions of their Web apps are not available on Firefox.

But there should be no downside. It’s all artificial.

Another vote for nextcloud.

Or synchthing if you want something that is serverless, but does not support sync on demand.

Exactly, that lady who invented COBOL is probably responsible for more deaths than any of the serial killers in the list.

And moist, lol

This is similar to the seat size problem.

Maybe standard seats should be bigger (and cost more) , with some option for smaller seats

You can then invite people to get on a scale to see if they qualify for a cheaper seat.

I a big tall person and I always feel sorry for the tiny people having to fly tucked in my armpit.

Maybe heavier cars and vehicles should have a lower speed limit then.

Maybe car sales taxes should scale by vehicle weight.

If you consume more of the road, you pay more

Pretty soon Trump would have had more lawyers than he has voters.

What I meant, is that if you plan to have kids, you may want to vote for politicians that will give your children the best future, even after they are born.

It’s a lot better than having that CPU on Windows.

Yikes.

I thought it was the GNU wizards circle that decides these things.

Are you telling me I have been going to the wrong meetings?!

I swear this Linux fragmentation will be the death of it.

Corporates keep doing these studies expecting different results.

It’s also very important to vote carefully before deciding to have a baby. In most 1st world countries, you get a few family responsibilities leave days a year, that an employer cannot deny.

Under law in those countries, you are a parent first and an employee second. That comes with privileges and responsibilities.

It’s also a reflection of how much money you will be spending on each ecosystem

I don’t know Blender, but from experience I found that Manjaro/arch is a bit too bleeding edge for production use. Especially when it comes to non-gaming graphics. I experienced a lot of problems with Manjaro and GPU acceleration in video editing suites. All got solved when I switched to Linux Mint.

Similarly Zorin OS 17 has been good to me. I really like their approach to the Gnome UI (i.e. they kept the newest tech, and removed the space wasting UI components.

The Ubuntu based distros typically have fewer bugs as they typically have an older base.

Fedora is also a decent middle ground.

I would suggest logging a ticket or forum post with Blender on this. It could be a blender bug or a graphics bug, but they would be the best people to advise.

I would favour an AMD Ryzen 7000 based laptop. Much better battery life than Intel and better graphics performance.

Lenovo ThinkPad T and P series are excellent build quality.

Asus Zenbooks or Expertbooks with OLED screens are also excellent. Displays are on par, or superior to Macbooks. Excellent colour accuracy.

Make sure you get something with at least 16GB of Ram, or 32GB if available.

New levels of Jank

What about punitive payments to cover mental health, legal and financial costs related to the firing?

I got great battery life improvements with TLP.

I also found that AMD laptops do a lot better on idle power draw. Getting 12 hours of video playback out of my Asus Zenbook 14 compared to 10 hours on windows.
