What happens when your business has a portfolio of products/services over multiple departments, spanning various platforms, and only one consumer mobile app uses Unity for an augmented reality component that's not a core offering (premium feature)?

Should Unity still be entitled to the same cut?

I can no longer access subreddits I have been subscribed to. They are also no longer listed in my subscriptions.

Private subreddits are indeed invitation only

I use Cloudflare to proxy a number of self-hosted HTTPS services, which is great.

I still haven't found a solution to obscure, geo-filter and WAF arbitrary TCP/UDP.

Spectrum Enterprise seems like it is capable but not really the answer for a personal server that handles megabytes of traffic a day.

This looks great!

One minor thing I'd like to see, and I don't know if this is to do with the underlying calendaring spec, is the differentiation of physical location and online meeting.

Some events may have both and I have found the "Join" buttons on desktop notifications for Outlook/Teams to be pretty convenient.

I really prefer the new look. I don't need or want labels in my field of view all day for buttons that I learned the purposes of years ago. If there's a new icon I don't understand, I can simply hover over it for a second.

I tend to rely on keyboard shortcuts and fall back to Search Everywhere (double shift), so the first thing I do on a new install is hide the menu bar.

I find the extra bit of whitespace helps with less travel and accuracy when switching to mouse.

The new UI has been a net positive in my personal experience.

I haven't really used VSCode, so I can't really compare, but as a long time user of JetBrains IDEs I too really enjoy the new interface.

I mostly use keyboard shortcuts and when I don't know the combination, I rely on the Search Anywhere (double shift) and Run Anything (double ctrl) functionalities.

I find the new UI less distracting and the new VCS menu is a nice addition.

I also wonder how much technical debt has accumulated in the previous UI that is being addressed by a refresh.

I have a 9550 and I remember the battery recall.

They called me, explained the issue, and offered to either pay for shipping them my laptop or to ship me a battery with instructions on how to swap it it out myself, warranty preserved.

Maybe it's because I purchased it from their site and they had my contact details.

I was hoping this would eliminate the coil whine and random ticking I had since day one which they claimed was to be expected. Sadly, I still live with it.

The soft touch coating on the palm rest has now also started to degrade and go tacky.

After working on a number of projects that tried to apply conventional commits properly, I found something like this to be more effective and sustainable.

Specifically, I'm quite fond of https://gitmoji.dev

- Commit messages are shorter, even with ticket IDs.

- Commit log is easy to read

- Less prone to typos (chroe vs chore)

- Easy to enforce with push rules

- Easy to generate changelogs/release notes

- Easy to measure (metrics)

- Helpful IDE integrations

- It's a bit more fun than conventional commits

See https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi for an example

Gitflow, and its various flavours, has been a popular alternative. Though it seems trunk-based is considered the preferred standard due to emphasis on achieving a stable main branch, simplified pipelines and faster cycle times. This requires a bit more maturity to get right if I'm not mistaken as you need good automation, test coverage and code review practices.

The difference is quite noticeable for me when using Atlassian's Cloud products. May their framework is simply optimised for Chrome.

I also really do hope Firefox gains hardware video acceleration on Linux some day.

I either had a terrible antenna, interference or reception at my apartment and so my dongle gathered dust for a few years until I camr across an Android SDR Touch app. Using a USB-OTG I could easily listen in on the go for cheap.
