I haven’t had any issues with mine, I do agree the power button is in a spot I would not have put it in. I’m running arch on mine. The factor laptops others mentioned look very high quality, prob will be my next if this laptop ever stops handling my needs.

I’m a big fan of the Hp Elitebooks, you can get them with AMD chips. Apple’s MacBooks are pretty much in a league of their own and you pay a premium for that! Have an m3 max for work that is incredible.

No that’s why I said I think it’s why he bought a president…

The worst part about all of this, is Tesla has backed themselves into a corner with their aggressive marketing. If additional sensors are required it will cost them billions in retrofitting all the teslas it’s already sold. Partially believe that’s why Elon bought Donald.

Because they don’t want their friend to die?

What are you going on about? Are you saying the word of the president is worthless and therefore should be ignored? It’s just a joke?

Maybe Mirotalksfu or galene?

💩argument given how many highly processed foods have animal products in them

Maybe the world should embrace plant based alternatives so we are not so reliant on maintaining hundreds of millions chickens?

Ah sorry for the misunderstanding. Profits over everything sigh :(

Even just replacing 25-50% meat with plants in the US would have incredible outcomes for the people. I guarantee we would be a far healthier population. The cheap meat being served up to Americans is not good.

You think scaling plant based food is harder than scaling a meat industry? I’m a meat eater but come on… It is not hard to get to place mentally that humans could easily live on plant based foods. People choose to eat meat because it’s what they believe to be is delicious and what their parents raised them on.

Maybe DOGE should cut all the subsidies the meat industry gets, upwards of $40 billion and we can see what the real price of meat should cost.

The cloud provides incredible flexibility, scale, and reliability. It is expensive to have 3+ data centers with a datacenter staff. If the data center was such a great deal for the many 9s of reliability provided by the cloud, company’s would be shifting back in mass at this point

Haha it’s ridiculous and they are basically using the Apple model where they charge obscene amounts for just more memory. It will only last while they have their AI moat. That moat is under a multi-pronged attack and will eventually lose one way or another

Eh just get into the used pc parts market and upgrade to the 5090 when it is made obsolete by the 7090

Something I recently added that I’ve enjoyed is uptime Lima. It’s simple but versatile for monitoring and notifications.

The same boomers in power of the US are the same boomers that shipped American manufacturing to China… That will never return. They’re critiquing themselves right?

Also, American car companies barely manufacture any cars in the USA.

People feeling resented and angry at society… Are these the same people that tell me I need to pull up my own bootstraps? If so, the two messages are conflicted.

Usually how this goes, there is a few bad implementations that go viral and make everyone else look bad…

Is it not like anything else? It’s the implementation and execution of the program that makes the difference in whether it’s better or worse… DEI is an incredibly broad term. Many companies try to diversify their workforce because it’s always better for business to have different perspectives… no?

For example, work in a male dominant field, always trying to hire females, they are simply unicorns because they are almost non-existent in the field.

Hey it’s just like EVs or any other new technologies. The enthusiasts or believers will dive in first and deal with all the complicated setups. If it is actually better, these enthusiasts will form a company or already be a company who will create a product that will dominate the industry because they have a better product. Valve is definitely setup to be that company with the funds and competitive reasons to compete with Microsoft (windows/xbox store vs steam store). Steam store is their money maker but they face risks from Microsoft. Luckily Microsoft has to be careful due to antitrust issues because of their size, ie, Apple Store.

Be a cheerleader, encourage these people to take the dive. If you’re hating on people who want their stuff to just work you’ll never grow to get the casual pc / gamer user. Change is hard, most people are not looking to tinker.
