This is absolutely ridiculous statement. I have been invited to Google HQ several times. There is an entire culture there that is to blame, working from home is the smallest of the problems. I would say risk aversion is the biggest problem

There are multiple reasons to use Linux, probably as many as Linux users. The author believes everybody is like him and is not. Over time all software becomes bloated as it is cheaper to buy hardware than pay developers. In the past paying

I see the big difference in design. VR consumer headsets were designed being cheap first, trying to sell in the millions, then adding features later. If they don't sell millions, there is no income and the product dies, or it does have
