    The experimental webgl backend support is particularly exciting as browsers still feature-gate WebGPU. Chrome 94 has an origin trial open, but it seems somewhat limited.

    I think people are missing the point of supporting this much wattage as a USB-IF standard. There are already 130W power supplies from Dell, so it's going to happen with or without …

    I don't think the kernel guarantees that if X runs against Linux today, then it will run against the same X on new kernels on new hardware in perpetuity. It's more along the lines …

    I suppose that theory is possible. A proxy for developer availability might be to check the primary mailing list of xorg for the full month of march: https://lists.x.org/archives/x…

    There is a lot of detail about this in the kernel docs: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/gpu/drm-uapi.html#ope... The gist of it is that breakage is OK if the userspace isn't…

    Totally agree about the keyboard and processor/ram. Originally thought about getting the X13, but I recall the screens options weren't that good, and I prefer the larger size and b…

    I just got my T14s that I customized with 32GB, Ryzen 4750u (8c/16t), and the 400nit display (sadly lost the display lottery, but I didn't notice until I checked the part#). Howeve…
