If you have a Windows laptop with thunderbolt 4 and an Nvidia Dedicated Graphics card (I tested with a RTX 3050 ti), you might get a black screen when you plug in the Apple Studio Display into the thunderbolt 4 port of your laptop.
Assuming that your laptop's thunderbolt port graphics is handled by the Nvidia card, it might be that your Nvidia card is sending a DP1.4 signal over the thunderbolt 4 port, but still sending a native 5K resolution signal to the Studio Display. The studio display doesn't support native 5K over DP1.4, only 4K. You might have seen this online somewhere and tried to change the display resolution with windows settings, to no avail. The thing is, you need to do it from the Nvidia control panel.

Steps

1. Plug in the studio display using the thunderbolt 3 cable it came with into the thunderbolt 4 port on your laptop

.local Hostname Discovery (Raspberry PI Nano Ethernet over USB)

If running on nixos setup, use Network Manager to set this up.

1. Configure raspberry pi boot and config parameters to enable network over USB.
2. On network detection (with nmcli), edit the connection and change the configuration for IPv4 and IPv6 to Link-Local. This should properly setup and connect the Pi. If it doesn't try plug-out and in again or google it.
3. If not already, edit configuration.nix and add the avahi service (check the client section here for instructions: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Printing)

WHERE clause equivalent on dataframe

df[df['column_name'] == 'what to search for']

With AND and OR logical operators: df[df[('column_name'] == 'what to search for') & ('column_name'] == 'what to search for')]

df[df[('column_name'] == 'what to search for') | ('column_name'] == 'what to search for')]

LIKE clause equivalent

df[df['column_name'].str.contains('substring to look for')]

For chrome/chromium it is the --app=http://address.com flag.

You would use it by calling chromium-browser --app=http://some.website.org or google-chrome --app=http://www.google.com or chrome.exe --app=http://you.get.it etc.

All available switches: http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

EDIT: You might also want to take a look at the --kiosk flag.
