      There is a solid Windows ARM64 laptop, sort of: Microsoft's Surface Pro X. The main problem, as far as I can tell, is that there are few native ARM apps for Windows (though the MS Edge browser is native ARM64), and the machine is limited to running x86-32 (no 64 bit) apps through a translation layer, which makes the apps seem slow and makes the machine power hungry. But I would definitely consider getting one if I planned on living in the WSL, which is a native ARM-based Linux:

      Really liked that post, then again Lua is one of my favourite languages.

      I wrote this post https://andregarzia.com/2021/01/lua-a-misunderstood-language.html some time ago and it kinda touches similar points as the OP. Read on if any of yous want to see yet another person talking about Lua.

      Apple is busy deleting localStorage data from PWA users...

      There is a very good criticism here: http://andregarzia.com/posts/en/whatsappdoesntunderstandtheweb and I have to agree to all of it.

      He probably means this (bottom of the page): https://andregarzia.com/2022/05/On-rants-about-laptops-for-developers.html
