Any way to anchor Plasma Widgets to prevent shifting when scaling display and scaling back (self.kde)

Hi All, I've got a minor inconvenience problem that I'm wondering if there's a solution for out there. I have some plasma widgets that I keep on the far right edge of my screen (clock, CPU utilization, etc). I have my TV in my living room connected via a long HDMI cable that I'll use as a secondary display on occasion. When I do that, I have the scale set on the TV screen (I'm using Wayland) to 150% to make it more readable on the TV from the couch. After I'm done, I disable that secondary monitor and make my primary monitor active again, which has the scaling set back to 100%. After this scaling to 150% and back, the widgets that were on the far right of my screen are now sitting somewhat right of center but no longer on the edge of the screen (scaling to 150 moved them inwards). I'm wondering if there's a way to somehow "anchor" them so that they stay along the edge of the screen when scaling back down, so they always align with the edge? Appreciate any thoughts!

I can't seem to pour out of my pyrex measuring glass without the water dribbling all down the front of the spout making a mess. You think they could have shaped the spout to prevent that better and it infuriates me every time.

Make sure to research expected pay in your desired target countries. I was shocked when I saw the difference between compsci job salaries in the US and Italy. Can adjust for cost of living differences but it was still a significant decrease. Would be good to be aware ahead of time and not surprised if you're not happy with the salaries presented.

Could you forward your X display in an SSH session so you don't need a webui? I second the vote for handbrake, it's a great program!

I haven't used it in a while, but when I did I used it sort of as an idea / vision board. For instance, when remodeling the kitchen I created a board where I just pinned a ton of kitchen pictures that had things I liked. Sort of a way to group images together based on themes.
