Both Windows and Linux do a rather fantastic job at restoring your desktop to its previous state if you ever reboot.

And in Windows, if you use Powertoys, the options to do so grow even more.

I have a 42inch curved 4K main monitor.

It’s fucking huge.

Still have 2 27 inch ones in portrait to each side for documentation and browsing.

Lol, that’s similar as to how I suggested Microsoft Code to someone I worked with for their personal laptop since they mainly used MSVS at work.

Were bitching they didn’t like Code because it “didn’t work half the time”.

Turns out they were doing the same thing, opening files, sometimes editing them and then just closing the application.

Had a whole smorgasbord of open files and most of them were in an edited but unsaved state.

This concept of explicit saves rather than closing an app and having it force save was horrible to them.

I was at my parents this week and my dad said his tablet got slow.

I checked the running apps and open tabs and the phone couldn’t even express it in a number (normally it does up to 999).

Then I hit the clear background apps button and the thing just straight up spazed straight to a full cold boot.

An hour later, dad said it was much much faster now, but that I “removed his apps”. (I didn’t and they were still there, just not running all the time!)

Stewart does not need Apple at this point pretty much at all.

Did he ever tho?

It’s Jon Stewart. He can start a YouTube show and hit millions of subscribers within a week.

Season 3 of Picard was about that.

Heavy?

For some measly Macbook or style over substance laptop maybe, but I can’t say I’ve ever had any sort of trouble running it on any of my hardware, laptops included.

Granted, my start in IT 3 decades ago was as a solo admin for a medium sized company after having been a gamer and overclocker for years before that, I know as much about the actual hardware I work with as I do about programming.

And from what I run into in the field, especially these days, the vast majority of developers wouldn’t even know how to install an OS or know what hardware is in the system they use, it’s pretty much “laptop goes brrrrr” and that’s about it. No wonder most devs these days write absolutely horrible code in terms of optimization and resource usage.

Mostly Visual Studio Ultimate for general workloads, regardless of what I’m writing for, it has the facilities to support pretty much every compiler and format.

For quickly editing / patching some source on Linux, just plain Nano.

Otherwise, these days, mainly VSCode.

But if I get into an environment where it’s another IDE, I wouldn’t care either way.

I’m language and editor agnostic and use editors out of convenience (like having Visual Studio Ultimate available to me) and languages depending on what is most appropriate for the task.

My biggest pet peeve in development is that people keep shoehorning their preferred language onto any task.

Woulda made Voyager a hell of a lot shorter XD

Name me SEVEN things that were sexy and sexualized in Star Trek Voyager?
