We have a Dell XPS 13 (9343) (originally came with Windows) at work. I used Ubuntu on it and couldn't get the display set up so that menus on IDEs etc. was a readable size. Attachi…

I'd like an easy-to-use plugin for FF to call youtube-dl.

It's sad that books and blog posts on this topic needs to be written.

Not sure, but it doesn't beat a fully loaded Thinkpad from 4+ years ago. I hope Lenovo rolls out the retro design they are teasing.

When it comes to a textual user interface, have you considered Rob Pike's Acme? http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/4th_edition/papers/acme/

Mediatek :(

(My reply is specific to this happening in 2016. There will one day be Judge Dredd-like firearms. I don't see that being widespread in my lifetime, though.) If you work in a compan…

Can you please point me to communities / sources around these topics? Super interesting!

I was with you until nr. 7. Definitely not going to happen. If some genius makes it happen, expect it to be an epic failure. 8 and 10 maybe, 9 I don't know...
