There are dozens of us. Dozens! I don't know whe the fascination for perfectly level lawns, pruned daily by automatic lawnmowers.

Which is why I buy games on GoG whenever it's an option.

Never thought about that angle. I don't think I've dealt with this kind of manipulative behaviour myself, but I don't doubt it.

It's such a dangerous game to play, as the "requirements" don't match reality. At least someone along that chain of communication doesn't know something they should know about their job. The alternative of just being a negotiation tactic would make me consider ending the interview immediately.

Requiring 8 years of any particular tech is ridiculous in of itself. If you haven't learned what there is to learn in 3 years, you won't learn any more in the subsequent 5.

Since you don't know your use case, I'll also mention a different approach that solved a similar problem, which is how I'd go about it if I needed color labels, a lot of labels, or special labels for outdoor use, etc.

Which is to combine a normal, (in my case, a laser) printer, and use something like this: https://www.herma.co.uk/office-home/product/weatherproof-film-labels-a4-white-extremely-strong-adhesion-4581/

The Herma brand were decent quality, and also had templates (see link example, a bit further down on the page). The downside is that you need to put in some effort. But if you want full control, high quality labels, that's not a bad way to do it.

Is the one I went for. I like the flexibility in being able to use different width rolls. I don't have a lot of suggestions other than that, since it depends a lot on which use case you have.

I think all of them use the same app (don't quote me on it), which had decent enough reviews: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.project.aimotech.printmaster

I'm sure there are other brands too.

Don't know if you'll get something for as low as $20, but a small thermal printer. Functions as a label maker on steroids, there is no ink, or proprietary* paper. Some thermal paper rolls have built in stickers, some are transparent, some have special shapes and colors, etc.

I've used it to label plants, tools, cables, boxes, so-so-many gridfinity boxes. It takes 1-2 seconds from hitting print to having it ready.

* not entirely the case, in that some have set sizes, or markings to automatically feed and count. However, these are low tech, and there are third party vendors.

On a global scale, corporations could double wages, reduce hours to 80%, and it would still only match the productivity output. Only compromise would be for very few people to be slightly less obscenely wealthy.

Keep this up, and more people will wonder if a few heads rolling is all that bad.

Next they'll inject ads into the video steam, at random locations with random ordering and length.

Anything special you needed to do? I have the HTC Vive, and I've tried a few times over the years, without any success. Last time was about 2-3 years ago.

SteamVR works on Linux? What headset, if I may ask?

This. Anyone actually seasoned in martial arts will back this up. Exceptions to this are trying to sell something.
