this - the modulation or waveform is the issue.
Square waves don't exist in nature so organisms susceptible to damage by them have not been naturally selected out of existence.

I always disabled animations and transparency back on windows. What I really dislike about aero are the strokes moving through the titlebars and taskbar. I much prefer a solid color without some dumb visual effect. Then there's the protruding start menu button when you make the bar slim.

Thinking of switching my Thinkpad Yoga 14 to Ubuntu with Cinnamon. Is all the tablet mode stuff (detect enable/disable tablet mode system input, disable mouse in tablet mode, screen rotation, touch screen rejection when Wacom stylus is in proximity) supported out of the box in recent Linux versions? I found some scripts on GitHub to add in this functionality but they're from 8 years ago. Looking at the source code, everything seems to be fairly standard, but I just need to confirm if the enable/disable tablet mode system keycodes are the same as the Yoga S1 that this repo was written. The repo is 8 years old so I wonder if Linux has added support for this functionality that these scripts are no longer necessary, now that tablets have been popular for the past 15 years.

Incorrect.

We can't afford RAM because American big business has not stepped in and restarted making and selling RAM. Trump opened the field up for them. They refuse to make RAM. They could. They refuse to. It's their decision, so their fault. Blame them. Badger them.

Can you people please think for yourselves? And pay attention to things going on? And remember them more than a week afterwards?

What is better: a 14" or a 16" MacBook Pro? I can't decide. It's unironically too difficult to decide. On one hand, I would prefer the larger display, on the other hand I use my laptop exclusively when I can't use my PC to do something, which means I need a laptop for use around the house and carry it outside first and foremost. I absolutely do not want to use an external monitor almost ever though.

as a warning, amazon renewed stuff is sold be other resellers and have their own return policy, totally separate from amazon own's, they're typically very strict so if you do as much as open the package you'll likely be liable for high restocking fees, and even if you don't they'll make you pay up for return shipping
they're also pretty bad at informing how to return devices, to my own experience they didn't mention I need to add a battery warning label to my package, which made me have to do two trips to the postal office.
