As a LightBurn user and license holder, this is annoying, but I could see this being a good thing in the long run. Right now, there is very little opensource alternative to LightBurn. As of today, there is a much stronger incentive to make it happen. I’m hopeful this spurs on a modern tool in the open source community that works as an alternative. What LightBurn might have done is save them selves some support overhead and created competition. We’ll see how that works out for them.

Since I was personally called out here, Windows 10 was my last home version of Windows, but it was earlier days of 10. For work, however, I manage about 1700 Windows workstations and servers, so I know all those problems still. To be fair, I’ve been running Linux in some form since before Ubuntu existed. I think it was Debian in 2001 or 2002 that was my first Linux desktop.

For sure, that’s what it is designed for. A proper remote desktop system would need to be able to support low bandwidth links and gracefully drop frames if latency is high or bandwidth is low.

VNC might have seen improvements over the years, but last time tried it, it didn’t handle high resolution/detail well at all. RDP can stream practically any media in close to real time, as to where VNC really broke down if you tried to change too much of the screen at once. Ideally, there’d probably be a new open screen sharing standard that used modern encoding and decoding to allow for high bandwidth connections smoothly. Moonlight gets close, but isn’t really designed as an RDP/VNC replacement.

It is possible, although unlikely, that it is the display server for WebOS, the OS Palm built and LG bought. I seem to recall them having their own display server.

Both cursed and nice. If you plan is to have a box for emulating old games, it is really a great theme for it.

You are correct, TreestyleTabs was my jam for years, but I have moved over to Sidebery because it performs better and has better support for containers, as well as being considerably more customizable.

Not at all. Just managing clients stuff on portals that don’t allow for delegated access to a single account.

Not the person you replied to, but I can help with an example:

1. I have the browser reopen the tabs I had open last time, but keeps unloaded until I click on them.
2. The tabs are in a tree hierarchy, meaning I can collapse an entire group while keeping them all open.
3. My work involves juggling up to 50 different accounts each for a hand full of websites, so containers allow me to quickly swap between accounts signed into the same page.

Sounds like you don’t know how international trade works. A company like Framework can’t ship to countries they don’t normally ship to not because of cost but because of taxes, embargoes, laws, tariffs, and more. It isn’t just about cost, it is about complying with laws. The countries they ship to they already know the laws. Any new county has to go through a long and painful process of learning local laws to make sure you are in compliance.

I’m privileged as an American to get almost everything I want, I get that, but you can’t blame a company for choosing to spend its legal resources where they are most impactful.
