Let's hope so. I would really like a RPi4 to play with, but without a really good use case, I can't justify the cost to myself.

Phones were already too expensive and prone to breaking without introducing foldables, so I don't see the appeal. If it wasn't so slow and expensive, I think I would have considered the original surface duo, as I prefer durability over a seamless screen. The new one with the camera bump, I don't like the look of.

While I love using a terminal, there are certainly things that I prefer a TUI or a GUI for. But they should be navigable using the keyboard. I can move files around much faster using Total Commander or Midnight Commander rather than using the terminal.

The greatest indicator that there is intelligent life out there is that they haven't tried to contact us...

It's certainly happening a lot faster than I expected. It will be interesting to see how the stability of rust drivers will be. Prior to reading the write-up of why the GPU drivers for the M1 silicon was written in Rust, I could not see how it would be beneficial to introduce a new point of failure by adding Rust support in the kernel, but now I think it's a good idea to slowly migrate in that direction. It just means that I will have to teach myself Rust sooner or later.
