For durability and smallest features, a metal unibody types that don’t have seams are great.

For performance, I opt to have an nvme SATA enclosure that is USB 3.1 capable. Copying 15 GB in a minute or 2 is so satisfying. Plus my god being able to easily change the nvme SATA drive on the fly if needed and it being able to go up to a few TB without loss of performance is just to good

For price, nothing beats free. Just don’t expect much more than what you get.

Buy more than you need and redistribute them to those in need of non dozen-ist values, be the change the world needs

Yeah Linux still has plenty to work on. It’s unfortunate how limited the support is. If game and app developers could target Linux, then the cost to support and maintain would be lower than they have to do with Windows. Unfortunately, market share and power of defaults work against us.

If you can, look towards getting a steam deck. At least that is a Linux thing that is pretty decent and portable.

she probably thinks of me like a brother, no way am I going to make it weird now

Depends on vehicle and load requirements too, if your load it just only you and sometimes passengers then getting a car that can do 10% fast charging for only 15 minutes and still go pretty far is great. On the other hand the Silverado EV is best range EV truck available as of 2024.

The 10 percent challenge from our of spec is best one I found for road tripping scenarios. https://outofspecstudios.com/10-challenge (mobile browser not recommended ) their other graphs are really nice too.

Unfortunately, the only cars that do get proper range from the 10 percent challenge is just too expensive, such as the Porsche taycan(especially 2025 version being insanely fast charging with efficiency) and Lucid sedans.

You’re a moron to think this is about scamming someone. The smart engineer realized he can offer a louder option but didn’t want to disturb the preset settings the customer is used to. If anything, not only is the engineer smart but empathetic towards how troublesome learning a new tool is like. Let me tell you it is not a problem that the volume is not standardized. Instead, it is nice to know that the customer can choose options he is familiar with AND now has a setting to go louder. Of course the much smarter way is to make the dial more analog input than a digital input. However, the digital dial will not move as easily when bumped. Trade-offs were made. For aesthetics and function. Yes I know some music nerds who like the dial more than a touch button.

Now don’t get me started with how they can sell it however they want. If it is louder than the product it is comparing against and the buyer likes it then it is not a scam, it was a fair trade.

Yes it is possible to look at this image with different what-ifs, and from what I see, you are only looking at the what-if where the “smart engineer” is not even acting as an engineer but rather a con artist. If we were to take the meme more literally then the what-if I have explained above is more true to the intentions of the characters in it than your narrow interpretation.

Amazingly enough getting hard is a valid strategy as your tube does become more open… But still that’s like something I don’t think would work lol

Tbh back then the pay was more fairly in line with cost of living for some of the jobs. however, it has been a good 20 or so year since it was more fair. Nowadays, it is absolutely scary the cost of living. it’s down right criminal.

As someone who owns 3 houses, I believe no one should be allowed to own any houses

You don’t believe anyone should own homes? You are part of this group 💀

“But electric bad” is what this kind of news will make rednecks think, and they will over sentionalize the conflagration of an ev battery

Does it matter if the products last longer than an apple product and can likely be repaired?

If you wanted this, you don’t need a dam apple laptop, but at the same time, the closest competitor is the new snapdragon laptops that are closer to having up to a week of battery life. Also, they are capable of running more than you can on an apple machine, albeit it is early progress in proper x86 emulation, and more productivity programs are starting to support it.

So, no, you are NOT forced to make a decision to get a MacBook and the price gouging you experience.

Even then, picking a device for your use case is extremely important. I know many people who can survive with lower powered devices as they only use it for web browsing or documents like Excel or Word. Which an apple device would work well for but seriously is complete overkill and overpriced for.

Oh, no

More edgier than LIGMA, apparently lol

I really like your comment. Nothing gets me going more than eliminating unnecessary waste and streamlining the system to a simpler one, even if it is more work. 😤

Gotcha, it’s cheaper to exploit something/someone than to do it ethically. Yet, once it is produced in mass, I’m sure it can be sold at way higher volume and thus sell at a higher revenue stream. Especially once the process is effectively efficient and cheaply done. However, the bump in upfront cost from exploiting for short-term gain to this is rather large. If only there was a relatively community driven system that already takes a percentage of people’s income to lessen the cost or burden for such services as a way to incentivize ethical processes…

Linux needs linux developers

Well, it seemed from your comment that you just expected this to work without tinkering. However, now you admit to be tinkering? This is a rather confusing story. When I’m tinkering, I’m exploring and expecting to run into edge cases or unsupported environments. Linux may be great, but it’s just a kernel with GNU on top to help build the larger OS. I believe the attitude towards linux is a bit misguided. It is a great tool, and its strengths mainly lie in the freedom of usage that allows for both fine-tune control and automatibility. I say windows and MacOS are strictly non automatable environments unless you venture into the developer side, and that will undoubtedly bring some with it some problems. As such, many systems that require the user to be more hands off and operate with high uptime will use Linux kernels. Being able to automate the process with minimal user input is essential in the performance and reliability of critical systems demand.

Again, I did not wish to be condemning your actions and rather alert you to the differing problems these tools are made to solve. MacOs and thereby its hardware was geared towards being an apple only product that is only properly supported by apple, and the problem it solves is to be a tool for rich and self-conscious individuals.

Windows was created to be a home and enterprise OS that can be used in almost any system that is quite an outstanding feat, but it really is because of the number of developers and users offer the ability for things to work. Mind you that even Windows was not made to be extremely automatable. yet there are tools being created to offer automating tasks, but many are closed source and tied to requiring funding. I even ran into some odd issues every once in a while.

Linux was expressly made to be a minimal system that offered high uptime and high automatibility that was free for everyone to contribute or use. This allows users and admins to set up their systems to be more hands-off when it came to tasks that were extremely time-consuming or continually have to be worked on without deadline while keeping costs low. It is just recently that Linux-based distributions are able to make use of features and packages that are geared to users who need to make manual tasks. Wayland is finally being more stable, driver support from large manufacturers, and even emulation of Windows APIs with use of proton/wine is getting better. Thus offering users the ability to do manual tasks and mix custom made automated scripts/tools into their environments.

Many see the hype and equate it to being able to use Linux systems like they did with the very much well funded manual systems that Windows and MacOS offered. Instead, Linux is just a tool and can be useful when it is needed.
