Bugger, I am pretty sure that the PC Companion App for TwomonUSB requires admin, unsure about Duet. In any case, hopefully some other commenters here will be able to help. Good luck!
This might just be me, but I have an old iPad 2 with an app that lets you connect the iPad as a second display to your PC. The app is TwomonUSB, although I don't endorse it. There are alternatives like Duet Display.
An old iPad of any kind shouldn't set you back any less than $20 (or what you may have lying around), the disadvantage mostly being limited to the 10" size.
To play devils advocate, I'd say that the bigger issue is that Linus ended up in the terminal to start with, when he had no idea what he was doing in there.
If Linux is to hit the masses, then a beginner friendly distro should have the convention to install apps be by GUI instead of TUI, and guides should be updated to reflect this. That GUI-based installer should see that the "Yes, do as I say" prompt was triggered and in a clear and concise way, inform the user that important packages will be removed if they continue and they should not.
Effectively just having a much better interface for the user is what I'm saying.
Meanwhile my work mandates that we must use Edge. It's fine from a usability perspective but I would much prefer my beloved Firefox at work, especially with the tab groups they have where you can have multiple different sessions
I bought a wireless cheap brand one from Officeworks in Australia for $20AUD to see if I liked the form factor.
I did so I ultimately went and bought my Logitech Lift which has been great for study and general use, although I still go for my traditional gaming mouse over it if I'm gaming.
Well I've already got my existing 64GB iPad 2 which is downgraded to iOS 6 and it's essentially a giant old game console, full of old iOS games and emulators.
The iPad 3 I got today works well as a second display (via TwomonUSB) so it will take that role from my iPad 2. Having a touchscreen portable monitor is just severely underrated. It'll mostly be at work with Teams on it, and occasionally with my study laptop as a portable second display.
The other two iPads are both Air 1st gens. One of them will be used just as a device for me to watch YouTube and browse Lemmy on in bed while my main phone charges.
The other one I'm yet to do anything with but I do like the ideas others have commented. Might be used as a self hosting dashboard showing uptime, usage stats, internet reliability, something like that. May also prompt me to actually set up a self hosted NVR
I love messing around with technology that's not old enough to be considered vintage, not new enough to be considered usable, just this odd in the middle obsolete stuff.
So you bet your ass I'm spending my weekend on the three old iPads I got from my work and finding ways to utilize them.
Just looks like the original game setting with the same engine and problems that PvZ2 had. No thanks, the original game was where it was at and it's surprisingly replayable. I still have it on my iPad for when I want to have some downtime.
If you really want to be pedantic.. that's not even the Microsoft logo to begin with. Microsoft didn't use the Windows logo for their own company logo, at least during that time period.
I bought a Logitech Pebble M350 a year ago, and I have proceeded to basically buy exclusively Logitech peripherals ever since.
Been so happy with their products, as long as you avoid the cheap sub $20 stuff (I've always wondered why they don't put their cheaper items under a different name), you certainly get your money's worth.
I use it all the time for quick notes at work, with its very simple interface, and the tabs feature was a game changer. Especially useful for phone calls in my case, although my typing speed far exceeds my writing speed so maybe I'm the exception because of that.
I don't use it to program though, usually that's delegated to Visual Studio.
What do you stream? Purely based on your voice, I'd be interested in popping in and watching. I think your voice is completely fine FWIW
