Men's Electric Shaver

I recall someone criticised how nowadays a battery is fitted into every single electrical appliance. They were very much in favour of the good old cord, and the example they brought up was shavers.

It does make some sense. Likely you're only ever using it at home right next to a power outlet and the battery is one of the first parts to give in.

Don't use Appimages (a writeup about all the reasons they are a pain for users)

The only use case for Appimages
If users want to carry applications around on a thumbdrive, or run on a fully immutable system like TAILS, Appimages may be needed. But this is the only target, and it is not a standard use case.

I guess I agree. This is precisely the case where I have ever used them. Namely to have a portable executable of my password manager on a stick together with a backup of the password database.

I had no idea they were being used elsewhere.
