easier to see where they are and let them know things. Otherwise they are normally home so it doesn't benefit me for them to be on their phones

I applaud the initiative. I waited until the beginning of 7th and it was pretty hard, honestly. We don't give them free access to it, though (but ironically it's most valuable to ME for them to bring it to school).

I'm similar, but no parent or teacher forced me to be so. I do write with my left hand, but so many other things are just easier right-handed that I do both (sometimes switching between them during the same task). Pretty sure my right

That's weird, as I dumped Apple's terminal very quickly in favor of iTerm2 specifically because it support "new tab with profile".

Unlike the other commenters, I do agree that IS different. The black bears here are not on the same level as a grizzly or kodiak or other brown bear. The ones here ARE becoming a bit more aggressive for unknown reasons, though.

I live in a regular town in Connecticut and I have bears attack my garbage regularly, so I'm not convinced that's all that weird.

This actually isn't too far fetched with the data privacy laws in the EU. It's not an explicit directive, though.

I can definitely relate to this, and I found the only way past it (for me) was to not plan at all. Just show up and hope for the best, basically. Requires a different kind of prep (good habits vs direct planning) and an adjustment of atti

Sure, high DPI. I really mean scaling. On Linux, I plugged in the 4k and everything is tiny tiny tiny. I tried to make it a little bigger, and some stuff grows, other stuff doesn't, and some stuff just broke. Then in the end I was sort

I switched to an M1 Air back at the beginning of 2021, was on Linux (desktop machine) about a decade before that. It's basically purely a work machine (software and management). The hardware is amazing. The battery life is astounding.

I think that helps a ton, but they also focus obssessively on gameplay. Story, graphics, cinematics, etc. take a backseat. Multiplayer rarely exists at all.

I disagree with everything you said, lol. Besides the original NEW Zelda being fun. Nintendo is very sparing in how often they make mainline games in their IP (besides Pokemon). Mario has had one main 3d game in a decade. Zelda had 6 years

There was one other aspect of these machines I missed. They run forever. We had a machine in there that by the time I left was running nonstop for 10 years. I was their only IT person for 5 of those years, and I basically visited them a few

The article says they are dropping support for 32 bit OS's but not 32 bit programs, essentially. You'll also still be able to emulate 32 bit OS's. they just can't own the hardware at boot.
