I get that, FancyZones let’s you use keyboard shortcuts to move windows into custom configured zones. Typically I split my screen into a 2 up on the left, single in the middle, and 2 up on the right and I can move apps into those zones with just the arrow keys.

The annoying part of any current Linux solution for me is I have to use the mouse and resize a window and move it into what would normally be a zone. I’d prefer to be able to never use a mouse and be able to move a window with shortcut keys into a predefined zone and size.

I’ll check it out, thanks! Hadn’t seen that one in my searches.

Sweet, I’ll take a look.

I’ll check it out! Thank you.

Any recommendations on a window manager in Linux that behaves the same as FancyZones in Windows?

It’s like…the one thing (other than visual studio and teams) that I can’t seem to find a solid alternative for. I’ve tried a number of things I found online but they aren’t the same, they’re more like tiling systems.

I agree.

I also wish Deloitte would stop winning contracts to build their shitty, cobbled together tech solutions for pennies (to the contractors) on the dollar. Their track record for such activity is actually kinda garbage in the industry.

Any good books or other articles on this? I’d be legitimately interested.

The more money I make or the better off I am, I actually just end up feeling more guilty and giving more away. Frankly, one only needs so much, after that if you can improve the quality of life of those around you it makes everything better.

He has no idea what anything is like.

Call me crazy, but I loved mine (near the end). No crease, could still multitask fine. The fact it folded shut kept me from opening and doom scrolling as much. Could throw a video on one screen and “tent” the phone easily.

But yeah, the software took awhile to get even “okay” out the gate and that really hurt the user experience. I felt I was always wrestling with mine over something for the first 6mos even.

Seems weird…but I have totally done two different job interviews where nobody has their camera on.

Oh, wow.

But it sounds like this added files / drivers or something, not just antivirus rules?

Serious question, can you not? There isn’t an option to…like…set a review system first?

The last time I flew they did this, but there was a huge sign that said photos are immediately deleted after verification…is this not true?

At my org the security is so heavy that it’s a multi-step, multi-tier fix (meaning the one Helpdesk person has to escalate, the first tier that gets it has one password but not the other, that has to go to second tier, etc.)

They announced weekend hours all weekend on Friday and given we’re talking tens of thousands of potentially impacted systems, my guess is it absolutely won’t be done by Monday. That doesn’t necessarily mean business is dead in the water, but it’s definitely more chaotic and slow moving.

Do you have astigmatism? I’m beginning to realize this might be why it’s uncomfortable for me.

But probably not immediately, probably slowly over time as contracts come due.

I prefer light mode because dark mode gives me a raging headache in under 10 minutes, not enough contrast or something, I’m not sure. It’s bad enough that if I’m pairing with someone and they use dark mode I’ve gotta frequently look away or do something like a shared follow mode where I use a light theme on my end - it sucks.

And maybe the science is old now, but in HS I did a report on eye strain and light backgrounds are typically better across the board. But who knows now.

I hadn’t really heard of the TPU chips until a couple weeks ago when my boss told me about how he uses USB versions for at-home ML processing of his closed network camera feeds. At first I thought he was using NVIDIA GPUs in some sort of desktop unit and just burning energy…but I looked the USB things up and they’re wildly efficient and he says they work just fine for his applications. I was impressed.

As a buzzword or whatever this is leagues worse than “agile”, which I already loathed the overuse/integration of.
