You can train on questions, but I will rarely answer to a chat with a SO-quality answer.

I currently have ~12 windows open (Win11 explorer, office, dev / terminal apps, sublime, Firefox, signal) : almost every one of them has a different top bar.

"easy not complex" I'm not completely convinced by this point : it's hard to stay simple ! Maybe I'm just nitpicking between simple vs easy, but words especially in such a context (language and specs expression) are important !

OK but even if F1 teams are a very expensive arms race it doesn't prevent me to bike to shop cheaply. You eed to have a moat around what people need.

given the fact that we've moved in my office from 3-people offices to open-plan office to flex desk now I'm not exactly sure I would want my coworkers to speak all day to their computers and gesturing / walking in front of a projector (provided there will still be coworkers with IA)

Ultra basic diy solution (with no wireless, and less space that a nomad) but cheap and you can change the sound. https://hackaday.io/project/197279-game-of-the-2313-talking-...

You need both, and both are responsible for the current state.

To stop this, you need to try to stop both until one doesn't exists.

WTF 386 was for me a sci-fi like device I wouldnt dare think about having when I was a kid. I had a very nice 8086 I cherished, with VGA video no less ! (Yes driving a vga card with a 8086 was slow..

Exactly, and more broadly ALL of them are a variation of bgcolor + border-radius + padding + font (type, size). No funky shape, borders, FX, 3D / relief or even shadow, pixels... Every single one is a flat, round borders.

Its not a computer, its a small device. You dont have many unknown peripheral you dont have other programs. The memory and peripherals are there, just use them. Heap is complicated ? Preallocate everything. A peripheral is not used ? Just leave it there. Security ? Of what ? Thats the appeal of those devices.

I find the opposite to be true. I'm much less in control when prompting than programming. So I can be much more in the flow during programming and 8h (well stopping to lunch) can be no issue. I feel bad prompting 2h straight.

I'm 100% behind it, but would regulation of financial markets and balanced tax policy do for global warming ? Sure heavy regulation of industries and fossil fuels usage but financial markets, im not sure.

Sure those heatwaves are murderous, but I think the earlier they come, the earlier real action is taken. The worst could be a very slow response.

What strikes me is the relative sharp change. CO2 has been rising since, what 250 years ? However real effects of global warming seems to be felt since, like 10 years old ?
