Maybe for some models? IDK I haven't seen one but I've noticed there is a much smaller selection of matte protectors in general vs glossy.

I don't think there's any reason they can't.

It does though. Installing a matte screen protector was one of the very first things I did after I got it.

Put a matte screen protector on my iPad a few years ago to cut down on the glare and that was it, everything had to be that way from then on.

Downside is you do lose some image crispness but it's so very worth it for the huge reduction in glare.

Also matte protectors aren't nearly as popular so there's a lot smaller selection to chose from.

Mint (MATE). It's preconfigured closest to what I want, with just a couple tweeks I can do whatever I need with utilities and a GUI I'm familiar with.

If Its a headless machine Ubuntu or Debian. Again familiar with both can do whatever on both without having to relearn low to build a wheel.

Primarily a windows user but I do use Linux for some applications.

Probably a full overlap with people that have fully functional keyboards.

I finally gave up and just set a wireless keyboard on top of the built in keyboard.

If it's room sized and sold to other companies it will rapidly be in multiple countries.

There wouldn't be any way to keep it to one company with it being public knowledge.

Like realistically I'd think any country would ignore whatever laws on the books and just outright sieze the tech as a matter of national security and duplicate it for their own use if they found out a company was hiding such a thing.

From there it'd again leak to all other major countries in short order.

If it's small and easy to duplicate, (can it replicate itself?) It would spread like wildfire and would like piracy be completely uncontainable.

I don't think there is anyway the tech could be either contained or kept secret any real length of time.

So how do you combat that if even their family dying around them isn't enough to get them to even consider those people on tv might have lied to them?

Sometimes I wonder what they would do if you could make endless perfect copies of objects like you can mp3s.

Dududdo you wouldn't copy a car. You wouldn't copy a cheeseburger Copying is a crime.

Like remember it's only been recently that it became possible to make endless copies of media at effectively no cost.

He had them ready to give him a third term before he finished his first.

Remember back when the republicans were all saying he was entitled to a third term because his first was nullified by the failed impeachment?

My first thought was oh is that supposed to make me feel better that he had to be a bigshot lawyer to be able to get healthcare?

I bought a pack of a hundred of them and put several everywhere I thought I might look for one.

Yeah considering they didn't discover electricity until the 1700s then they didn't even invent one that lasted long enough to be practical until 1879.
