At some point people are going to start realizing they’re not temporarily inconvenienced billionaires
Hahaha, so accurate. The psychological poisoning seems so effective on many levels, like those on welfare voting against their own interests as they know they’re just one lottery ticket or get rich quick scam away from financial freedom. Or the billionaires that think they’re one harebrained scheme away from becoming a god-king.
What did you pivot into, if you don’t mind my asking?
Amazingly, there is this nifty thing called a “port” that allows a mouse to be plugged into a laptop. It is pretty incredible technology. /s
I tend to vacillate myself depending on the noise of the environment vs the work at hand. If I need to spread out across a few monitors, dock it. If I just need to do some simple paperwork, portable. If I want to force no distractions, portable (as it is more difficult to see things when your screen real estate is reduced.)
Helps if you have good eyesight too, laptop UIs today are at clown magnification levels anymore.
A tale as old as time. The US nuclear missile codes were 000000, but it didn’t matter. The chain of command was purpose-built, ironically, so the front line soldier in a cold war scenario had to make the last decision to delete all life on the planet. Chain of command doesn’t matter at that point. You are choosing to kill everyone you know from an order from who knows who. The ultimate checksum.
You will always be better at decisions than an n-dimensional matrix of numbers on an overpriced GPU.
Printers of this range back in the day could use a print server of your choosing.
And yet still not as serviceable/durable as older ThinkPads. They don’t even have water spouts in the keyboard/chassis like the older ones. One could dump a beverage on the keyboard on the older models and it would route through the keyboard->chassis->even the docks had water routing ports so it would just keep traveling mostly harmless through to underneath.
Nor batteries externally removable like used to be.
Not a bad step though by any means, and great to see this return to user-serviceability.
Props though, on the removable RAM. Given the need for shorter circuit paths for higher performance RAM these days, that looks a bit of clever engineering.
Favorite little snippet from another take:
In 2019, the provincial government canvassed British Columbians through an online consultation and found that 93 per cent supported ending the time changes that have been in place since 1918. Much of Canada still follows the routine that largely synchronizes with the United States, so the B.C. government decided after the 2019 poll to wait until key trading partners California, Oregon and Washington State agreed to change as well.
This week, Mr. Eby said the provincial government is not prepared to wait any longer and that B.C. will be on Pacific time permanently as of November.
“We are done waiting. British Columbia is going to change our clocks,” Mr. Eby told reporters, adding that he hopes the decision will help nudge U.S. Congress to move forward on adopting a similar change.
Do not wait up for us. Gonna take some time to figure out our problems.
Additionally: Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Brazil, Cook Islands, Falkland Islands, Fiji, Georgia, Hong Kong, Iceland, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Macau, Mongolia, Namibia, Paraguay, Russia, Samoa, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay, Vanuatu, and most of Mexico have all abolished time changes, and Ukraine in 2024 switched to standard time.

They are not banks, nor regulated similarly, so more risk of losing money and not getting it back in trade for perceived convenience.
