Looks like its hardware support is limited to the point of being nearly useless (under "check what's not supported yet"). Besides, then you've still got spyware under your Linux, so at that point just run Win10.

You could use a real mouse and keyboard, if you're presented with some kind of virtual workstation. And even for navigation outside the workstation, of your broader "environment", 3D video games have been using a mouse & keyboard to navigate complex interfaces & environments for a long time, with more than a little success. Granted that means you still need a surface of some sort, but I think non-touch-typing text input inside a VR space would be kinda hellish anyway, so you're at least gonna want a real keyboard regardless.
Presented without comment.
My possibly-incorrect recollection is that I thought them up on a long road trip, and that they rarely "existed" anywhere other than the car. A couple hours-long trips to relatives' houses every year, usually one big vacation involving entire days in the car, maybe one or two other longish drives a year, plus shorter journeys pretty much daily. Wonder if tons of constrained, boring car travel has anything to do with it—if not causing the phenomenon, then encouraging it, anyway.
Support for major Google features and initiatives often sucks—Material generally, and as of a couple years ago their Maps library was worse than the JS version in some important ways, such that you'd end up calling out to javascript if you needed something as little-used as, say, address components (rather than one big address string). Yes, seriously. This is a pattern for them. I don't get it, but that's the way it is. Android's not built on a great foundation, and sees a surprising amount of neglect and half-assery in its ongoing development.
Since he explicitly comments on his subjects and is quite clear when he's doing so, and lays out up front which sorts of things he'll be focusing on for the whole enterprise, that complaint's never made much sense to me. I'm sure there's some further bias, but that's going to necessarily be true of any shortish treatment of such a broad field.
> - Will Durant, The Story of Philosophy
I'd for sure recommend Russell over this. Durant's scope both in philosophers covered, and the portions of their philosophy he focuses on (chiefly ethics, IIRC), is much smaller, and his coverage less insightful and fluent. Russell's is the better single-volume intro to the field of the two, Durant's being so bland and shallow by comparison to make the choice an easy one. Russell's not really any harder to read, either, though the medieval section's kind of a slog (Durant solves that problem by basically skipping all of it).
And yeah, ditto Equifax. There are two other credit agencies already. They're all same-ish as far as I can tell. Pretty sure there are only three so they can pretend there's competition, not for any actual purpose. Again, it might be an opening for a new competitor anyway, while causing minimal short-term harm.
FTA.
(for the record I personally just want the simplest thing that's very likely to work—single payer—rather than any complicated poke-the-market-and-pray solutions, but I think that's the idea of such a measure)
I mean I'm on board with not buying natural diamonds and all and it's not like I wanna buy any of these for myself anyway, but I don't think there'll be a full collapse in the natural diamond market until the two best alternatives put some serious price pressure on them.
[EDIT] just checked again, 0.75c and up lab diamonds of middling (by gemstone standards) quality or better sure seem to still be like $2,000+. And 0.75c is merely on the large side of "modest".
I'm an early (the term I sometimes see is elder) millennial with excellent household income for my area, but if I ever retire it'll either be on a meager income or very late, because I had kids. Took me from probably a comfortable, but not extravagant, early retirement or a pretty good "normal"-timed retirement to maybe-never retirement. Those with lower income (so, most) aren't even getting that choice. Kids and lifelong near-poverty and debt struggles, or maybe, maybe a so-so retirement more or less on time, but no kids.
[EDIT] I mean 1% of marketing emails where there's any relationship between the sender and the recipient whatsoever, of course. All others are spam, clearly.
[EDIT] and actually I bet we'd both do a better job of keeping it clean, with separate kitchens.
It'd be fine if only one of us ever cooked, and if either of us didn't find the other's methods and tools frustrating to use at best, but that's not the case, so here we are.
Examples: my ideal kitchen would contain a rice cooker and zero crock pots. Hers would have zero rice cookers and at least two crock pots. Mine would have at most two non-stick pans of any kind—really, I could live with just one—but several cast iron pieces, and some steel. Hers would have exclusively non-stick. I'd be entirely content with a single short built-in oven to save space. She'd want a full-size double oven. That sort of thing.
[EDIT] also, whether it's OK to leave any small appliances on the counter full-time or they must all go in cabinets when not in use. We finally, after years, compromised on the stand mixer and we're up to a 4-slice toaster now so it's just too damn big to store, but the rest...
My dream house (kids aside—that makes an already infeasible dream even less realistic) would have my wife and me in separate bedrooms with our own separate bathroom and kitchen and a living space, then one or two shared rooms in between us.
