What to wear to the office in Kuala Lumpur?

I am an American visiting Kuala Lumpur on business. I dress pretty casually - t-shirt tucked in jeans/nice travel pants, Adidas Samba sneakers, and the like.

Looking for advice on buying a thinkpad

I am not especially tech-literate and very clumsy. I want to buy a thinkpad that I can set up as a privacy machine.

Plasma 5.27 - GTK apps - fractional scaling - X11 Italian

I’m running the latest plasma with X11 (Arch). Fractional scaling is working fine with all the qt based apps but I’m experiencing size issues with gtk apps (Lutris or VMware for ex.). Fonts are rendered ok but scaling is not correctly applied to window and icons (titlebar is too small). Is there some kind of workaround?...

Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?

Earlier in the pandemic many news and magazine organizations would proudly write about how working from home always actually can lead to over working and being too “productive”. I am yet to collect some evidence on it but I think we remember a good amount about this....
