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.

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.

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.

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.

 

Interesting dive into the technology, troubleshooting, and process behind stabilizing the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

In the 90's, engineers discovered that the tower was extremely close to collapse, within just a few % of the structural limit. They spent a decade researching, experimenting, and developing a solution to permanently stabilize the tower, while also preserving it's unique features.
