For one, the clip-ons would have to have all the compute and battery sitting on the front of your face, which would be uncomfortable. You need the arms to hold some of the magic sand.

I guess you could make a weird clip-on with ballast in the back, but I can easily see why they wouldn't. It's also another thing that can go wrong (alignment with existing lenses).

Yes, it is a sacred event commemorating when Jesus and the disciples rocked their ROG XBox Ally-Xes and scored big on the leaderboards.

Early on they had only five frags and two flag captures, but by the end of the match the number of frags was enough to pwn all the other noobs, which numbered at least 5,000.

Yeah ok.

I do not know what world you live in but I have never seen a Linux desktop at work in my 30 years in the workforce. I have seen some ipads coming in for stuff like warehouse workers.

MDM like Intune or JamF is great for locking stuff down and rolling out apps on devices like tablets and even Windows desktops.

Until Excel, Quickbooks, Autocad, and every business software in existence gets ported Linux is not an option.

Crazy people still think WIndows is like Dos based WIndowsME/98 and thinks have not progressed in a quarter century.

If Windows was so bad and insecure then why does corporate America use and trust to secure their data and run their apps?

Linux is not an option for 97% of people as their first time OS. I used to use Linux 25 years ago. Today I want to get work done and run games and have something just work. No nvidia wayland issues. Hardware accelerated smooth scroll and anti alaisgned fonts. Chrome goes blip blip blip on Linux when I scroll up and down. Multi monitor support is even worse. Do not let me go on about the insecurity and horrors of Xorg.

Before I get accused of being a MS fanboy and modded -1 to infinity I want to say I chose this username name back in 2000 as I was a MS hater like the rest of you when I was young. I grew up.

I hate all operating systems now including WIndows BTW ... but for different reasons :-D ... since I am old and middle aged.

Linux is great and useful for dev and cloud stuff. Windows is great for multi monitor setup and boring win32 business apps. Android/IOS for content which does support smooth scrolling and fluid animations and fonts like we are in 2007 and later. I do not want linux as a host OS or a desktop or troubleshooting my own system every weekend trying to get a proton port of a steam game.

WSL is amazing and gets the job done. Without it I would have no tools at work. We must use Windows on our desktops.

The great thing about bloated frameworks and interpreted languages like nodejs and Python is more flexibility and quicker development time.

Electron yes we love to flame, enabled the cool integration of debugging and add on support of visual studio code as an example. The editor and ide could not do what it does without an interpreted language to change at runtime with something like C++

The gluten-free thing fucks over actual celiac people too, since companies (generally not the big ones that are afraid of lawsuits, but think small bakeries) want to grab that hip and trendy gluten-free market without necessarily being strict about it.

There was a case of a farmers market stall selling "gluten-free bread" that was just regular bread. It took months, but eventually an actual celiac person ate some and almost died.
