We have Rewe, Kaufland and IKEA supporting self checkout around here and the experience is decent. The interface is not the best. Sometimes a scan fails, but there’s always someone close by who can help.

But the issue with GPU sag is AFAIK a different one. Jayz2cents had a pretty good video a while ago demonstrating how to fix sag on the case itself without one of the little stands. From personal experience I can say the Gainward Phantom 4090 doesn’t sag in a Fractal Torrent for example.

Logitech X Pro Superlight seems pretty popular and sadly doesn’t work via cable but only Logitechs lightning receiver.

I’ve played with the Superlight for a year or so and and couldn’t notice the difference to the mouse is used before and am using now, both with a cable.

Some starting points

- photos: NextCloud

- git: Gitea

- BitWarden: Vaultwarden (even if you deploy this locally you want a SSL certificate as clients will refuse to connect otherwise)

I'd suggest using official docker images to get started as there’s plenty documentation available for all projects and experimenting is a bit easier when you can simply dispose a container without having to worry what’ll happen to your host OS.

As long as you run services locally on your Synology (assuming it supports docker) and don’t expose them to the Internet I’d encourage you to „just give it a try“.

Just don’t immediately start to rely on the services and run a dual strategy (NextCloud and iCloud photos for example) till you updated your container once or twice and feel comfortable troubleshooting issues with your stack. Nothing is more discouraging than having a service you need „right now“ being down and no idea how to get it back up.

It’ll be a long, fun journey. Good luck!

Browser integration works nice, but not as smooth as Apples Keychain autofill. If you go hosted you will need a premium subscription. If you are okay self hosting vaultwarden[2] supports TOTP as well.

There seems to be a work around with qemu and UTM but I cannot speak to its performance or how viable this solution is.

This sounds like Samsung DeX?

My wife is currently using Affinity and Adobe products to work on illustrations. It works mostly the same for her as on her Mac. She does not care about small, specialised tools, she wants one app that does everything she needs. The iPad is doing a great job running those apps.

I am not sure how many users (outside of the ones who got used to it) want UNIX-like flexibility vs "give me an app that does everything I need". If the later group keeps getting larger the walled garden approach to apps might actually work.

When running remote VMs I usually run them on my ESXi box in the basement and VPN back home when traveling. This is especially nice when a project needs more resources than whatever device I’m working on has to offer. But beside this very specific use case I haven’t personally found any advantage of this setup.

I am currently running Parallels Tech Preview on the MacBook Air M1 and primarily use PyCharm (remote interpreter and deployment to the VM). The whole thing works better than expected considering it’s still a preview release. Battery lasts around 12 hours, sometimes an hour or so more depending on what else I run.

I am currently working on a Django app. When saving while the debug server is running I can command tab to my REST client and make an API request and the change was already deployed and the server restarted. Despite dealing with a VM the whole thing is just fast.

Docker and PyCharm are also working well, but the Air only lasts like 7ish hours before it needs to be plugged in again.

Parallels VMs (Debian) work, but drain the battery and feel a bit more sluggish than I am used to. Something I hope will improve once Parallels officially supports the M1, not just in a tech preview.

I did not encounter any problems with any of the tools I use (Fork, Paw, iTerm) and last I checked most have support for the M1 (I try to use as many native apps as possible).

If you can add a shortcut to the dev environment to your homescreen it’ll load the app without safaris control elements which comes relatively close to fullscreen. (Not sure if this will work the way codespaces is built)
