  • 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.







  • 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.






  • 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.
