My wife is a quilter and has mentioned the same thing. It's hard to sell a bed-sized quilt for $1200+ when people don't understand the work that goes into it (and even the materials are more expensive than I would have guessed). She's started writing quilt patterns and has a few that will be featured in upcoming publications and subscription boxes. She's about to set up an e-commerce system to sell digital patterns on her website, but she has no interest in selling physical quilts at the prices she'd need to in order to just break even.
The only way a quilter in a rich country could sell profitably is to approach it like art. Get the quilt into a gallery and sell it as a wall hanging. The instant you sell a mere bed covering, you’re competing with factory labor in poor countries. Their labor is way too cheap to compete with.
Many sellers of handmade items will have the same problem.
I've had to put my side gig (building guitars) on hold. My wife and I both have day jobs, and we have a two year old. We take turns working and parenting, and it's not unusual for one or both of us to be up till 2 AM finishing work.
I'm genuinely happy for everyone who has planted a new garden, taken up a new hobby, started a new software project, etc. For those of us who can't take our kids to daycare or school right now, though, quarantine has meant less time to do the things we already had to do.
The article states that the museum is in a town of a little over 4,000 people. My guess is there was simply never the right combination of interest, knowledge, and resources available.
The version of Firefox I'm on right now does. Most of the current URL is a light gray, while the "ycombinator.com" portion is white which gives much more contrast against the dark gray background of the URL bar. (I'm using the dark theme, but I'm pretty sure the normal theme does this, too.)
When did support for the APUs get added to the kernel? My wife got fed up with Windows a couple of years ago, and I tried to set up a dual boot on her HP laptop, but Ubuntu wouldn't display anything above 800x600. The best I could tell was that there just wasn't support (at the time) for her AMD APU, but I can't remember which model it was. All the drivers I found on the AMD website only officially supported 14.04, but even 14.04 wouldn't recognize the proper screen resolutions. I've been meaning to try again since 18.04 was released (or at least see if anything had been added to the kernel), but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Fingers crossed...
Depends on which APU you have and which features you need. The latest Raven Ridge APUs had stability problems until 4.17, anything older should work on 18.04 which ships 4.15. HDMI/Displayport audio support for the older models landed in 4.15 but wasn't enabled by default until 4.17, so in 4.15-4.16 you have to pass the amdgpu.dc=1 kernel parameter for it work.
I have the A485, Windows is oddly a shit show with drivers. But linux is great with Arch and proton gaming. With the fat battery, it has great battery to boot
I will say Ryzen APU is very janky. The new model should be coming soon. Though it took a year and half for the first mobile apus to become obtainable.
Not zen 2 / navi. There were some possible kernel patches for zen+ apu. There was a refresh coming for the desktop apus. I can't recall the name though. AMD has been really quite on the mobile front though :\
