Wasteland by Oliver Franklin-Wallis https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/63251764 This is at times shocking but it really helped me get your head around the waste problem.

I've used a few docks few the years with a combination of laptops. I've had the least trouble with the surface dock. 99% of the time it "just works". Every so often, a monitor doesn't turn on and I need to undock then redock to solve that. I wonder if this is due to proprietary surface laptop usage or if other devices will be just as well supported by the dock with the drop of this port.

> It makes you realise what crap you will really put up with and how from an impartial viewpoint you should have just "nope'd" out of it years ago but the status-quo is just easier to maintain.

This is so true. In my experience, it can sneak up on you over the course of months and years so you don't realize how depressed and burnt out you are. You don't realize that working late so that you can catch up is something that shouldn't be the norm. When I finally quit and joined a functional software company with clear work/life balance it was an absolute shock. It felt like someone had suddenly turned a light on and I could see everything clear as day.

Earlier this year my partner and I switched our joint account from Monzo to Starling simply because we both hated using the Monzo app. Navigating the app feels unnatural to us and probably due to how infrequently we use it, we never learnt to live with it. Last week I finally closed my personal Monzo account as I only used it for one small DD a month and much prefer the Starling and NatWest apps.

I had similar issues with dell support and my XPS 13 a while ago. Absolutely no way that I'll be buying another dell.

I also suffer these though I've learnt to pick up on them before they happen so I can pull over or step away from the computer. This started when I was a teenager and has gotten better since my mid twenties (30 now). I've only had 2 attacks this year, though they have both been in August. I find taking a nap helps. I don't get a headache but I do eventually lose 99% of my vision.

I recieved plenty of emails in good notice and saw warnings throughout the console about the disconinuation of arm. moving away from arm was easy too.
