> on a very short notice - just two weeks

You're lucky, for me it was a zero-day notice. Here are bits of the email I got:

> Due to an operational change, your USD account details for your Wise Business and Personal accounts are changing. [...] From today, October 17, 2023, your old USD account details will no longer work.

I also had to replace the Killer wifi card. After that there was nothing to complain about regarding Linux compatibility.

BUT I also had to replace the battery after a year or two (it was swollen to the point that I couldn't close the laptop anymore).

And finally the rubbery coating of the case degraded badly and turned into a gooey, sticky mess (apparently a known issue with this kind of material, for those living in tropical weather).

So I'm done with Dell for a while.

"-?" is supported by apps that use GLib for option parsing:

> GOption will recognize the `--help`, `-?`, `--help-all` > and `--help-groupname` options * (where `groupname` is > the name of a #GOptionGroup)

Ref: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/main/glib/goption...

Looking at the Git history, it was recognized straight from the start, when GOption was introduced in 2004. No idea why they chose it, and if it was their own idea, or if they followed some existing convention from somewhere else...

FWIW this thread was a good read: https://mobile.twitter.com/skepticalzebra/status/14058997241...

Apparently there are previous studies (pre-covid Era) that found similar changes in the brain associated with loss of smell.

Quoting:
