I haven't done any real tests so I guess I'll defer to you on that. It's been more than three years of daily use since installing the laptop battery though, so I'd say the fact that I haven't noticed a significant drop in battery life means that $50 is no less then a fair price.

Ok I just looked up oem, damn I'm cheap lol: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-6-cell-97-wh-lithium-ion-replacement-battery-for-select-laptops/apd/gpm03/pc-accessories

No not all ports, just power and and auxilary, but I honestly can't recall a single time that I've lost a usb port.

Here's the (excellent) repair docs if you're interested: https://dl.dell.com/topicspdf/xps-15-9560-laptop_Setup-Guide_en-us.pdf

My old latitude from 2011 is similarly easy to repair, it's running a jellyfin server rn.

Hold on, the battery's another thing I had to replace. Let me find how much I paid.

Edit: I paid a little less than $50 on eBay from ebl. They're a reputable seller, I bought rechargeable AAA's from them more than five years ago and they're still kicking

The port in my old XPS 15 ~~can be~~ has been replaced in 10 minutes with a screwdriver, with a $5 replacement port. I honestly don't even love the laptop but I can't fault it's repairability.

My point is while this framework laptop is insanely cool, I don't think that repairability is as huge an advantage as it's made out to be. Beats a macbook I guess, but for a lot of mainstream laptops the only difference in repairability is needing a screwdriver set and I little more time (negligible imo since I only need to repair/upgrade maybe every 2-3 years. maybe)

They were probably referring to population

Yup I've noticed that too. I don't have tiktok personally but I get links from friends and sometimes I have to open them in the duckduckgo browser (chromium based)

The search in the Walmart site has only been working on and off (mostly off) in Firefox, but consistently in Chrome. There's also some webpages for my university that only work in Chrome

Edit: looks like the Walmart search is working now though for me. The only reason I even have duckduckgo browser is because walmart.com was giving me issues on Firefox

Magically no, but sometimes a clean slate is easier than a refactor. I'm speaking generally though, I've never looked at Lemmy's code, and I'm not even who you originally replied to.

lemm.ee doesn't block it, so it's not a problem with your instance. You don't have to ask how I know

I've noticed that too. Sometimes when I get replied to I'll see that the original comment is slightly in the negative. If I leave another reply and come back later it'll be slightly in the positive. Maybe there's some sort of bias at play, but I've seen this pattern a few times. Maybe people tend to be convinced by and up vote whoever left the last comment in a chain (had the last word)
