I can only confirm this. Only change if you feel real need and progress with another tool. Learning a new IDE takes time. I've been using Emacs for over 20 years and I'm still discovering new features. The goal is not to become an Emacs superhero but to gain confidence and efficiency. Some features may seem useless to you until you have a suitable use for them. For example, for a long time I ignored Emacs' natural keyboard shortcuts for moving the cursor, preferring to use the arrow keys until I felt the need to use them and felt that I was doing my job more efficiently.

I tried VS Code as well but did not enjoy the experience. Back to Emacs with which I have too many habits and a long love affair. I also use Atom a bit for some tasks but it's more rare.

You also don't need to configure your IDE from the start. It's a bit of a thankless task but not that difficult or incomprehensible. It took me a few years before I started messing with my Emacs configuration. The advantage is that it is portable and I can find my environment on any computer just by copying a folder.

A complete framework for numerical computing based on LuaJIT which combines the ease of use of scripting languages (MATLAB, R, ...) with the high performance of compiled languages (C/C++, Fortran, ...).

About browsing, I had difficulties with Lynx as you can't use tabs. The last versions of Elinks were broken on OS X and outdated. I found a fork of elinks (Felinks) that offers everything I want and is easy to configure.

I'm not sure law authorize you to publish the code even if you have warned the manufacturer and waited a number of days. The warning could also be taken for blackmail. You'll face serious problems as this is proprietary technology and so you'll violate their copyright.They also can consider your action as intrusive. Further more, if your exploit is used by others for criminal damages, you'll sure be taken for responsible. So :

1. search for a bug bounty programm linked to the company, 2. if no programm found, contact the manufacturer in an anonymous way (there are examples of people accused end sued of trespassing by companies when they were acting in good faith, 3. if no news from them, leave it to others or contact a lawyer in order to insist if you think what you have found can really be harmful.

But never (never) publish the code without having been able to negotiate with the firm and obtain authorization.

I didn't use my printer really often and inks were drying. I find it cheaper to go to a printing service near me. I now don't have to manage technical problems. It's sometimes complicated when I need urgently to print a document but I found solutions. You can for example add your sign on PDFs by modifying them.

My printer is now useful only as a scanner.
