    November Raspberry Pi OS Update Adds HiDPI Scaling
    [13:30] schestowitz[TR2]
    [13:30] schestowitz[TR2]

    The update introduces HiDPI scaling controls directly in the Screens panel, making it easier for users to tune display clarity on high-resolution monitors. HiDPI icons have also been added across the panel, file manager, and several applications, improving sharpness and visual consistency. Additionally, the Wayland task switcher now includes icons.

You are done at IBM. They no longer want or need you. Your job is either been eliminated or moved to a place in the world where IBM thinks they can get more for less. Enjoy your Thanksgiving and leave IBM on whatever terms are best for you; not IBM.
