Yep, you need a new battery. Getting one from Dell is harder than actually replacing it.
USB-C as a power connector work great when the proprietary power supply die as you are waiting to get a replacement battery. (true story) (I have a 9360 model, which doesn't like the batteries for the 9350)
Why would that be on the list? Isn't there already a solution? It doesn't need to be GPL licensed for getting FSF recognition - a non copyleft but Libre license is fine.
There is a disable autoplay in Firefox as a hidden pref. Enabling it break YouTube (offender number 1) and Vimeo.
Vimeo's take is that it is a bug in the browser hence it should be fixed. But then Vimeo are the same that told use to use Safari on Linux because Firefox "didn't support HTML5" (it did, just not encumbered H264 codec, but when you are lying, do the extra mile).
ClarisWord never existed — ClarisWorks was the product. Claris had MacWrite II for a time because they were the software spin-off from Apple, and that was their stand alone word processor offering, not much better than Claris Works, which was one application unlike MS-Office.
You know it is hard to order people to do something when they aren't paid. Even project like OpenOffice.org that had commercial venture had hardship with funding. Oracle cancelled it, Novell cancelled it, IBM do whatever they want, etc.
All in all, GNOME Office didn't happen. Some bits did, though. AbiWord was always broader than GNOME. And Gnumeric is great IMHO.
I'm not sure this will go the way one would want. There is nobody to do Windows and the Mac port has also fallen behind. I'd rather continue the bootstrapped Qt port in parallel to Gtk and use that.
It can read .doc. Never write. When it writes .doc it is actually writing RTF. A kludge, but this is better than always explaining users that saving as .rtf will be fine. And Word did that for a while part of a feature that was removed in an update. The only things were this didn't work is for some proprietary CMS that supported .doc but not .rtf.
I'm personally not super happy about that, but it is still much better than not doing it.
