Must be serendipity as I’ve been working on a TUI drama nd drop designer like a terminal Visual Basic 4. I’ve tried Visual Basic for dos and it was as streamlined as the windows version
Hilariously, the MacBook neo has the same taskbar issues since it was what Microsoft copied. No one is getting replaced so I’ll guess they’ll just add some customizations to make it more Mac-like to win users back.
What you might consider "middle class", suburban households, and up. These "upgrades" are something that you can roll into your mortgage.
> Why are they going off grid?
Electricity and water availability issues.
For example, I live in an area where water is unavailable between days and weeks, every few weeks. The systemic issue in my municipality is that they have not kept up with the maintenance of water pipes, which means a significant portion of water pumped from the national provider is lost via leaks. Thus when some pumps and reservoirs go offline due to power disruptions, the loss of flow can lead to no water in higher lying areas that takes time to restore.
There are private solutions to this - the most affordable option is to install a big water tank on your property that in affect acts as a water battery. A more expensive solution is to install a borehole on your property, and to draw water from the water table (this might make sense for a complex, or a rich household).
Not OP but it's because there are rolling blackouts.

Ability to afford your own solar. A lot of South Africans can't, and with prices increasing 100x over the past 20 years, it makes it difficult to get out of that poverty.
I’m actually glad because it seems like we are finally leaving behind the flat design that started in iOS 7, if I remember correctly. I’m not sure it would be good to go full skeuomorphic but at least a button looks more like a button again
Thanks for posting this here. I star’d the project. Getting a portable computer with a minimal flexible and previously well supported operating system was one of my goals for the esp32 as well. I’ll be watching for more.
