A window (surface in Wayland speak) is just an object in the Wayland protocol, and a Wayland client can have as many as it likes - it will just never see anything outside its windows. If these are normal windows (top-levels), it won't

That's why there was a protocol released to do just that, by having the client set a unique tag when it creates its windows so the display server can recognize when a window has come back. Wayland in general is all about leaving stuff

No, having bugs in home-grown platform specific code is not at all related to whether or not the platform is "weird". Platform integrations are a lot of code, which you might have bugs in, and why people tend to use toolkits that

Again, not how Wayland protocol maturity works. All released protocols are versioned, and do not break existing clients. Servers offer a maximum version number for their protocols, and clients can request any version up until that maximum v

It's actually a lot more difficult than that. Working with existing applications as is requires a ditect mapping, and any restrictions or asynchronous prompts would break any existing assumptions in platform agnostic code, so it wouldn

When you only have one battery cell it's also hard to screw up battery management, and phone batteries are rarely driven past their prime (no one wants a phone with 50% remaining capacity). The odds are not zero though, as the battery

I think you're confusing suppresing the fire and extinguishing it. You are not trying to stop battery cells that are currently on fire from burning - you will just have to wait for those to be out of fuel. The purpose of fire suppressi

by arghwhat 1y ago
If the batteries catch fire the acrylic bottom will melt and automatically dump the sand onto the fire. This is a questionable setup though. You'd need massive amounts of sand dumped evenly, which requires more design and verification.
