For what's worth, I have the exact same issues on Windows 10. I've tried installing different drivers for the motherboard, nothing really helps. It used to work fine, and then at some point I stopped being able to disconnect and r

Yet that is exactly how propaganda and mis-information works. How exactly do you think antivaxers became antivaxers? They weren’t born like that, they were exposed to propaganda and eventually fell for it. I know several wonderful, educated

Exactly. As of today, you can also buy on gog.com and stream from Geforce Now. Gog releases DRM-free versions of games, so that's worth supporting.

That can definitely be the case. In our case, we sometimes have MR's that specifically mention things like "I did X as a shortcut to get this running, we will have to optimize this before we can do Y", which are totally fine

I would agree, Bullshit Jobs has content that is understandable, if not immediately relatable, to anyone who has spent any time in the workforce. It can be a powerful read indeed. Debt is more academic, and it uproots many societal misconce

Bullshit jobs is a bit more light-hearted and not as deeply researched as Debt. It is based mainly on observations from hundred of replies to his original article on bullshit jobs. I found both books insightful and enjoyable to read and wou

All of that together, the end-to-end latency between moving your finger and the result appearing on screen. The trackpad firmware & driver, the display compositor, the hardware cursor overlay (or lack thereof) combine to give you the t

This is a perfect description of input latency. You stop moving your finger over the target, but the cursor keeps moving for another 33-50ms, causing you to overshoot.

You've hit the nail on the head. The real difference is input latency. Tweaking acceleration curves will not help overcome latency of 2-3 frames which is common on Linux compositors (33-50 ms of delay, causing target overshoots).

I am using a 1200p, a 1800p and a 2160p monitor side-by-side on MacOS and it works fine. The 2160p monitor is rotated to portrait mode for reading/writing text documents. I can hotplug a monitor and it will automatically switch to the

One of the main differences is that MacOS has visibly lower latency when scrolling / moving the mouse pointer. This is immediately visible when you scroll the same webpage on Safari/Mac vs Firefox or Chrome on Linux. I don't

180kmh at night is definitely not safe on a highway. Even with perfect visibility during daytime, anything above 150-160kmh is pushing it for most of the highways I've traveled in Europe.
