are you sure that the fonts aren't blurry ? https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-218458 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/72759
I am, I promise. Lookin' at it right now. ;)

I constantly still have problems with my Dell 4k monitor (first gen and last year's model), where it doesn't wake properly from sleep. Most of the time, I resolve it with the following. - Switch the USB-C port from one to another - Open up my laptop from clamshell mode and switch the cables around - Unplug my monitor - Restart my computer The nuclear option of rebooting my computer and monitor always seems to work.
Yeah I have similar problems with a Dell 4K Monitor and a 2018 MacBook. I have to power cycle the monitor to get it to work on occasion.

I prefer macOS over Windows, having used both for a long time. But one area where Windows has beaten macOS is keyboard shortcut support. I can use a Windows system and applications without a mouse and get many things done (including using a program like Paint.Net for image editing/manipulation). But macOS is inferior on this front, and it's quite difficult to use it if a trackpad or mouse isn't available. I know that…
While at Microsoft, I did a stint as an accessibility lead. No better way to find some accessibility bugs than to hide the mouse in a drawer for a few days. And you can do it, because if you can't, then you need file a bug. So I got pretty darned good at Windows keyboard shortcuts. As an aside, if you do public presentations, people will comment on the fact that you rarely touch the mouse. :-) When I flipped to Mac,…

I grew up using Windows and after 20 years switched to Mac and could not believe I had waited for so long. What parts of Windows do you prefer over MacOS?
I use both Windows and Mac. I find Windows file management and window management to be much better. Love the preview you get when you hover over an app icon in the taskbar. Also love how windows don't automatically take up the entire screen. I like to have two windows open simultaneously. This is much smoother on Windows than Mac. I also prefer Windows' taskbar instead of Mac's dock. The negative is changing preferen…

Meh. I bailed out of the Mac ecosystem last year, as my mid-2012 retina Macbook was finally getting too creaky, and the latest Mac hardware was a regression in many respects, while simultaneously utterly unaffordable. I'm now dual-booting Ubuntu/Windows 10 on a Dell XPS 15". What this experience has taught me is that computing in 2019 basically sucks. The problems with 2000-era Linux, as described in the article, are…

What’s the alternative? How about a school that does what it’s supposed to? A school where teachers have agency, where kids aren’t allowed to physically assault one another, where creative thought is encouraged instead of stifled. Where students aren’t made to wake up at the crack of fucking dawn and wear giant backpacks everywhere fucking up their backs. You vapid fucking idiot. How is it fucking poor kids over to h…

There were periods where the outlook and software quality was bleak... and there were periods where the outlook and software quality was amazing. Right now is not anywhere near as bad as it’s been a few times in the past (pre-OS X, early OS X days especially)... but if someone doesn’t turn around the ship things are headed that way currently.
Ironically, in those days I was at my OS happiest. I'd built a multi-core BeOS monster, and felt like I was a decade ahead of the rest of the world. Two decades later, and I still can't find as performant or useable a system as that.

I dropped my personal Dell laptop (XPS13) and broke the screen. Dell sent a tech to my workplace and repaired it. No charge.
What's your point? That you have Dell Complete Care on a work machine you don't pay for?

KDE's pointer acceleration settings have never worked on X11 unfortunately.
...for you. For me they always worked, maybe not around the time of the libinput transition.
