As someone that lives in downtown Vancouver and was a regular Nordstrom shopper we have a very different view of Canadians. I think the real issue if the proliferation of high end brand specific stores, why buy buy a LV purse from Nordstrom when there is an LV store next door. The designer brands are just figuring out distribution themselves.
The luxury market is huge in major Canadian cities.
I'm one of the people who enjoy luxury goods. I'm from the Toronto area (Niagara really), lived in Ottawa for 8 years. Every time we go to Vancouver we go shopping. The density of luxury goods is the best in Canada.
I think being from Van has skewed your perception a bit. If you look at other countries around the world you will see higher availability of luxury goods, in higher density.
Recently did the exact same thing and came to the exact same conclusion, even if code server worked well enough the lost screen realestate pissed me off so much I don't think I could have lived with it.
I have a Ipad with Magic keyboard that I tried to make work for just keeping up on work while I travelled not even as a primary dev machine and without background tasks it was just not possible.
Ended up giving it to my wife and getting a surface go 2 m3, its lighter smaller and 1000% more capable, couldn't be happier.
Same for me. Tried to use it for various things but it never works well for me. Now it is function as a Zoom meeting and videos. It is so locked down which make it behaves like a smartphone rather than actual productivity device.
> One goal of Open VSX is to have extension maintainers publish their extensions according to the documentation. However, you may be missing specific extensions that have not been published by their maintainers: either they are not willing to do it, or they haven't found time to do it, or simply they haven't heard about Open VSX yet. Though the preferred solution for such a situation is to convince the maintainers to start publishing themselves, you can add the extensions here to have them published by our CI workflow.
I tried the Surface Go 2, and it would indeed be a better option. However it's terrible as a drawing tablet (the reason I looked into tablets), and I just can't deal with Windows anymore. After spending a whole day (including several hours of looking at the update screen) making Windows halfway usable, I decided to just return it.
Also what to m and d do?
