I have two of them, and I think they are great. That being said, they are significantly more expensive than similar options from Dell (or Lenovo, HP, etc.) They just don't have the volume of production needed to compete.

MAYBE you'll end up ahead with upgradability or repairability, but honestly, you're paying more to support good company practices.

I'm planning on keeping these laptops for a long time and upgrading when I need to, but we have to be realistic that most people aren't going to stomach a minimum of 30% premium for options they don't care about.

If your wife is unfaithful, she should go to the priest and get a concoction to abort the pregnancy conceived with another man.

How do you know a commenter is over 40? This one right here.

They could have saved even more by not putting batteries in them, or motors... Man, these things coulda had a way bigger profit margin!

Passkeys might really kill passwords (www.theverge.com)

Passkeys: how do they work? No, like, seriously. It’s clear that the industry is increasingly betting on passkeys as a replacement for passwords, a way to use the internet that is both more secure and more user-friendly. But for all that upside, it’s not always clear how we, the normal human users, are supposed to use...

LastYearsPumpkin ,

There's no way for the average person to keep up with remembering unique, strong passwords for all the sites that require them.

You either have to write it down, save it in a password manager, reuse passwords, or have simplified passwords or patterns.

LastYearsPumpkin ,

Then one password breech and your password everywhere is exposed to the world. That's bad advice.

LastYearsPumpkin ,

Which is KIND OF ok unless someone looks at a password breech list and figures out your super simple pattern. And I'm sure the rise of AI being used in password breech attacks will just make it more automated.

Real, true, random passwords/tokens is really the only way to actually be safe. Which means you have to use a password generator, AND something to save the password.

I understand how you feel, but reading your story, I think when you were grabbing the product and telling him to "just drop it an leave" is what ended your career.

It sucks, you got attacked, but you don't need to trade your personal safety for some store product.

Just based on this story here, where you are giving a very one sided view of the situation, you intentionally put yourself at risk and kept escalating. I hate that a criminal put you in a situation where you ended up getting fired, but there was more than one mistake here.

Networked cameras used for security should have local storage to buffer when the network isn't available, regardless of if you're using wired or wireless.

They advertise as extra $ for ad free, but then they put ads in it. That's dishonest.

What I have to do whenever I watch a show is start the show, get the pre-roll, exit out, then start the show again. It's annoying and a stupid hoop to jump through just to not have to watch the same pre-roll over and over.

LastYearsPumpkin ,

If you exit out and then start the show again, it skips the pre-roll. It's annoying, but slightly faster than waiting and watching the 30 second pre-roll.

LastYearsPumpkin ,

Yeah, looks like an electronics hoarder. Each of those things at one time had a purpose, but 90% of it is sitting there unused and needs to be discarded/recycled.

LastYearsPumpkin ,

Crazy thing is... that's what Trevor Noah did as a youth in South Africa. Had a whole bootleg CD burning business until his setup died and they couldn't get the files back.

So he turned his life around and became extremely famous in the US.

LastYearsPumpkin ,

TL;DR - A combination of more competition from China in Android smartphones, and an increase in Apple sales, caused Apple to overtake Samsung.

LastYearsPumpkin ,

Why does dropbox have the ability to see your files at all? That seems like a pretty bad security flaw in the first place.
