One of the main advantages here is that this can be applied to almost any surface because of how thin it is.

From the article:

We can envisage perovskite coatings being applied to broader types of surfaces to generate cheap solar power, such as the roofs of cars and buildings and even the backs of mobile phones. If more solar energy can be generated in this way, we can foresee less need in the longer term to use silicon panels or build more and more solar farms.

Concrete is also used in buildings and other facilities like pumped storage hydropower.

Of silicon panels.
In the lab, mixing silicon and perovskites has already achieved 34%.

It's more about the use of perovskite (while retaining durability), which should lower the cost of the panels.
The efficiency improvement is a bonus.

BlurBusters have nice articles about this.

TL;DR: Less motion blur and less artifacts (like stroboscopic effects, which can also be visible at 480hz).

And in general I didn't expect to see praise for a group that has "A Curse Upon the Jews" as part of their official slogan.

I personally ended up getting the Glove80.
I don't have experience with the Advantage 360, but there are some reviews of people who have used both and compared them.
Like this and this.

There's also the Svalboard, although it might be a step too far for you. It has options for integrated trackballs / trackpoints.

ASUS Scammed Us (www.youtube.com)
 

This undercover warranty investigation is a one-year follow-up from our series that investigated ASUS for motherboards incinerating AMD CPUs, at the end of which ASUS promised a number of improvements to its then-anti-consumer warranty processes. Spoiler alert: They're still anti-consumer. We sent our ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme in for warranty repair for issues with the left joystick ("drift"). The device also had a broken microSD card. ASUS then pointed to the world's tiniest scratch and tried to charge us $200 for it under threat of sending back a disassembled device if we didn't pay within 5 days. It felt like extortion. If you're wondering whether ASUS is worth buying, the answer for anyone who values support should be "no."

We have now tested ASUS' motherboard and ROG Ally warranty and RMA processes. Both have been anti-consumer experiences.

 

The Israel that I meet every day is made up of people who want to forge a path towards peace and security for all

Since the beginning of the war, I’ve met Arab-Jewish civil society organisations that exemplify this spirit, providing assistance across diverse communities.

Just chiming in about Tailscale.

Hamas’s top leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, and others, weary after months of war, say they are ready to accept the proposal for an initial six-week pause in fighting, the officials said. The organization’s exiled political leaders, though, are demanding more concessions and want to negotiate a permanent cease-fire, they said.
