  • I’m not sure what you mean by that, so just to clarify what I meant: A lot of countries require you to prove you have a sustainable income, so showing them you’ve earned 2500-3000 EUR every month for the past three years, and that you already have a contract waiting for you in their country, works. Showing you received 10 000 USD once when you can’t prove a sustainable income won’t do.
    This makes it hard for people to move just because they got lucky with money once.

    I’m not saying it’s a good thing or not, just that this is the case.













  • From what I can see it mostly does ease of development better; it’s a completely new and rather lean codebase, and it’s seen as an investment in compatibility with graphical applications.

    Also, it has lock screens. X cannot do lock screens; it can have an app being full screen and pray to some collection of deities that nothing will come in front of it or that the fake lock screen won’t draw far too small, but it cannot natively do secure lockscreens that are guaranteed to work.
    So there, it does something much better: security.






  • Logitech.

    G305 for a “standard” mouse
    MX Vertical for a vertical mouse
    Both are wireless with a dedicated dongle and run off AA batteries. I hope that’s acceptable.

    G332 or G432 for a headset with decent sound and mic (that even works well over hearing aides)

    Keyboard? I dunno, I went with a Das Keyboard Ultimate 4, I love my clickity clacky but it’s not a cheap recommendation

    They’ve all served me well for 6 or more years with the exception of the MX Vertical (2 years so far) and are all still spotless. None show any sign of wear or tear and do their job well.

    EDIT I see OP had bad experiences specifically with this brand. I’m sorry to see that, disregard my opinions, OP.
