You need to believe that you can get ahead in society by being smarter than the competition, instead of just being luckier.

They are naive if anything.

There is in fact a requirement, and also that it's off by default.

Infosec is an absolute shitshow everywhere to be honest.

You mean promising to build battlemechs, and fucking around for 5 years while grifting his stock valuation sky-high, then coming forward with a cheap robot that can't even walk?

I forgive Epic for the lawsuits, it seems it's the only way to enter certain markets.

They do have some bullshit moves, but not the lawsuits.

Why is that car so comically big? Shouldn't your shoulders be in line with the roof, not the hood?

In Europe, it's exactly because they want witnesses, cops' words don't carry more weight than yours by default, so if they ticket you, they want at least two testimonies on their side.

No, after trying to contact them for multiple days because they only left me the name of the neighbour I had it with - I don't know all 2000 of them by name - they were so gracious to give me a house number. This was a 2000 EUR laptop btw.

They also routinely pretend I'm not at home so they don't have to come up with the elevators, and I get to go on an adventure to get it from a delivery point in the city. Which is its own lovely thing, since the one nearest is a tobacco shop, and the employee there routinely pretends that the "machine is broken, come back in the afternoon" so they don't have to deal with finding my package among the others, and can dump it on the afternoon shift.

This is DHL in the NL btw.

Don't worry, it's shit in places in the EU as well. One delivery guy just left my whole apartment complex's packages, for thousands of households, in front of one apartment.

To be fair to Romania, the symbol on their flag at the time was also toxic waste, so it's good they got rid of it and nobody is reusing it.

That said, it's getting so much better every year. It's already ahead of Windows in user-friendlyness IMO, but every year I'm amazed by how much cooler it gets.

The only thing I can say is that on Linux, you get excited by the thought of updating your system. It's like a Christmas feeling instead of a Monday one.

I switched to a Framework 13 after having a system76 Darter Pro, and it's a whole other league. Incredibly well-built, feels great, runs great, flashy as hell, even the fingerprint reader works out of the box with Fedora KDE.

I'm sudoing in the terminal with my fingers! It's magic! And it just works!

Also, I managed to drop it in the most stupid way so it bent the whole case, and I could get it fixed for 200 EUR, one day shipping and 20 minutes of work by myself, and that was a full casing swap, so bottom assembly plus keyboard assembly, whole case but the mobo and the stuff on it.

This is what having a laptop should work like. That's what they took from you.
