Laptops use Wh but you still need to do the same research as you would have if it was in mAh (ignoring the 100Wh max for planes that you'd have to calculate yourself)
I'm not sure if we'll get away from these anytime soon as any out of the box solution will inherently limit the user's freedom that has persistently been there for decades on PCs
From what I remember only the c/++ toolchains were a problem on windows but the couple of times I needed them they were either managed by some other build process and ran fine or I could just compile and run in wsl
For wsl, it's just a normal VM that's integrated with Windows. Maybe it'd get in the way of I did development that needed to work closer with the hardware, but I don't at the time
Dev experience is usually at worst the same as Linux when you use wsl as you don't really need more than the terminal
Both depend on running a SLC write cache, once that's full the performance drops significantly, a bit less so on TLC. Consumer ssds just aren't made for writes that cover a large portion of their capacity
Thinking about it you can get a decent 256gb on consumer platforms now too, but the speed will be a bit crap and would need to make sure the platform ully supports ECC UDIMMs
There'd also be less overbuilding of solar as you have to build for winter weather and day length instead of summer if solar is supposed to cover everything
Also the built-in type checker is just bad
For pypy it's in a weird spot as the things it does fast are the ones you'd usually just offload to a module implemented in C
So far not being able to send mail from arbitrary addresses on my domain without registering them first is annoying because of the 15 address limit they have in place. If I try it over SMTP without registering the address first I get an error back. And the bridge app is breaking inline attachments for me from a Python script sending mails over SMTP daily. The outage is not helping with the quite long downtime.
UI wise it works fine I guess? getting to settings has been annoying. Only use the web UI as the client app used some ridiculous amounts of RAM but I think they're mostly the same
