They control the ecosystem in the way that they provide what hardware is new on MacOS and what capabilities it has. So if any developer wants to support modern devices they have to port to that new hardware. They don’t have any choice, if they want to stay relevant.
I upgraded to Fedora 40 workstation a couple of days ago. I never turn off or suspend my laptop (a Thinkbook 14s Yoga) and it was guranteed to be dead if i left it unplugged for a couple of hours before the update....
Even if Google laid off staff for the Flutter and Dart team, I don’t think those two will be going anywhere any time soon. Mostly because a huge majority Android ecosystem is based on them, still a stupid decisions of them.
Hadn’t had a single issue on my AMD igpu. If you experience issues it’s most likely coming from a different source than Wayland itself, it might be worth tracking it down and reporting the issue, so it can be fixed in the future.
I very recently bought a used Pixel 6 with a replacement screen, not thinking too much of it. I even made sure that the screen looked good during pickup....
iFixit has OEM screens for a relatively good price, they even have the fingerprint sensor pre-installed, so no transfer of the old one is necessary.
I replaced the screen on my Pixel 7 a while ago and it took roughly 2 hours, most of that was scraping off the old nasty adhesive. Color quality, refresh rate and everything else was the same.
There isn’t such thing as a WM under Wayland. There are only compositors which make up everything such as the WM, Effects compositor, io etc. To standardize things for smaller compositors things like wlroots exist. Creating a basic compositor using that is around 100 lines of code
I quite doubt that, infrastructure to provide Terabytes of bandwidth per second isn’t cheap, and employing people who are on watch 24/7 and maintain it all, aren’t cheap either.
What may seem easy to an outstanding person is most definitely not easy in reality. There is so much more complexity involved in this, and not even speaking of the whole corporate nightmare new features have to go through.
I have a secret labs chair and use it a lot for working at home. I often sit for more than 14 hours on it, never had any back pain ir felt uncomfortable. Unfortunately I have one of the older generations and the arm rests are slowly deteriorating and falling apart, otherwise it’s pretty good.

The house series was actually quite fun to watch, and you could learn a couple of things from it. But the other content except maybe factory tours and server stuff is just straight up advertising and boring.
