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.

Numbers 5:11-22

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

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

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

To what end?

Many people view “looks” with a strong filter of personality. So being active, funny, nice, kind, etc. would actually, really, make you look more attractive to people.

Dress well, stay clean, get fit, improve yourself as much as possible. But do these things to make yourself a better person, not with an ulterior motive.

Those look great. I’ll probably try that tomorrow!

Bone conducting headphones already exist

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.

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

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.

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.

Nailed it right here. West was a perfectly good Batman for his time, but Keaton is fantastic and aged well. No one else comes close.

You mean the USPS that can send a letter to anyone in the US, no matter how remote, for less than $1.

The USPS that has had its funding messed with for decades by Republicans trying to make private shipping the only option?

The USPS that is guaranteed by the Constitution to exist and provide services?

…

Yeah, let’s ditch this amazing service that provides stable union jobs everywhere in the US, and just let private industry take over, that works so well every other time we’ve done it.

It’s a very visible thing when people do it. It’s not common where I’m from, but if 1,000 other people go to a store, then just one person leaving a cart in an awkward place pisses off 999 others.

It doesn’t take much to make it seem like a lot of people are being inconsiderate, when it’s much more likely that a small minority of people have a very wide reaching emotional impact.

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.

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.

I’m not sure if I should upvote this or downvote this…

Picard Syndrome

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