My laptop has a display resolution of 1366x768. Every now and then, I’ll encounter a window whose default height is over 768 and thus won’t fit entirely within my screen. The GTK file picker comes to mind, though it is resizable without much fuss. But then there are those that cannot be resized and being unable to move the titlebar further up, I am forced to use Alt+F7 to see what’s at the bottom.
I suspect that many programs today are designed to work comfortably on higher resolution displays, but not really tested on smaller ones. Understandably, developers only have so much time and 1366x768 is getting long in the tooth. Just wanted to put this out there since nobody seems to be talking about it.
Old devices. Why throw them away?
Exactly! My current laptop will turn ten next year. It is still working fine.
Less energy efficient, less efficient on your time while waiting for things to load/compile/whatever
I think old devices are great, my laptop is from 8 years ago but it was considered a monster of a laptop back then so it still holds up today
Still good for anything except compile and gaming.
