4 year CS degree in Xiamen University. Do I get a Mac or a Windows laptop?

I'm starting my Computer Science course in XMUM later this year and I'm getting a new laptop. Would a Mac be perfectly suited for the course? Will I face compatibility issues with certain software?

And if I were to do internships, can I expect compatibility issues with the company's systems?

Animated Album Covers are here!

I woke up today and found out that music.youtube.com now supports animated album covers. Finally

Made a quick playlist of the albums I noticed are animated. Wonder looks lovely and I didn't even know before lol.

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_wNoqBClpjjykTQlry07Vg6K5Syx52Os&si=P-YzG1siERv_CIv3

EDIT: Errr yeah it doesn't seem to work for you guys...I'm wondering it's the Better Lyrics extension I use (I'm on the PC website). I'll make sure to attach a video of how it is for me in a while.

5SOS are in debt. What 2 songs should they sell?

This is a fun/unrealistic hypothetical ofc.

They have to sell 2 songs off their discography to another artist. However, they encounter a last-minute issue with their record label(s). They cannot sell songs from their first 2 albums.

Once they do at, they will no longer be able to play that song live and it would disappear from their Spotify/Apple Music/YT etc. They will be credited on the buyer's page.

There is a bid from [your favourite non-5SOS artist] to purchase just 'Bad Omens' to clear the debt. So if they sell Bad Omens, they lose just one song.

What do you want them to do?

EDIT: Do share why you picked the song(s) you did.

I updated to Fedora 44 today, and I happened to exceed my screen time limit. My laptop turned the screen off. When I activated it again, I got a screen that informed me that (I'm paraphrasing) "this user has exceeded their screen time limit for the day. Signing in will increase their limit to 30 Apr (it's the night of 29th Apr as I'm writing this)". So I entered my password and clicked authenticate, but nothing happened.

I was playing music in the background (that was uninterrupted) and had a couple of active windows. Nothing worked. So I pressed suspend, then tapped away at the keyboard. The normal screen returned. Nothing about screen time. The grayscale that turns on when the screen time limit is exceeded was gone. And my date and time now shows as 6 AM (and ticking), 30 Apr.

Will be reporting to the Fedora Community Forum later. Has anyone else experienced this?
