Windows Explorer taking multiple seconds to load and often a bright flash of a white background during the load was exactly what pushed me over the edge to Linux.

<p><label>Scale<br><input id="scale" type="range" value="1" max="2" step=".01" oninput="transformSquare()"></label></p>

<p><label>Rotation<br><input id="rotation" type="range" value="0" max="360" oninput="transformSquare()"></label></p>

<div id="square" style="width:100px;height:100px;background:gold"></div>

<script> const transformSquare = () => square.style.transform = `scale(${scale.value}) rotate(${rotation.value}deg)`; transformSquare(); </script>

Easily the best use of a touchscreen is developing mobile websites/apps. I only buy laptops with touchscreens as its indispensable for mobile development.

I once had a meeting were 3 coworkers and the CEO were all advocating for disabling zoom because, "other sites do it". I argued that it doesn't hurt anything to leave it enabled and refused to disable it. 3 months later Apple removed disabling zoom from Safari and I felt validated.

I went from Metapad > e - Text Editor > Sublime Text. Did anyone else use e? I still haven't seen another text editor that handled the undo buffer as well. The buffer had branching and a gui to view the edits and switch branches.

It also saved your undo buffer on close so you could still undo next time you opened a file.

I think the folks building Tailwind are talented and nice people. But at a pure technical level, I simply don't like Tailwind. Whoever it was built for, it was not built for me.

I've had Geforce Now for over a year now and have completed The Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and Death Stranding on it. I use an Nvidia Shield to play it on my TV. I've never had any problems with the streaming quality or latency. I could see that depending on location though, I'm playing in West Coast Canada. Some of the games I've been disappointed with the performance, Assassin's Creed Odyssey for instance couldn't hit 60 fps even after lowering the graphic settings. Cyberpunk 2077 has been amazing though, high fps and maxed settings, including ray tracing.

A few other things of note. 1080p is the max resolution. Unlimited Internet is probably a requirement as its about 10gb per hour. After 6 hours the session ends and you need to save and relaunch the game. Your entire Steam library is not available, its up to publishers to allow their games on it.
