Thank you, from your account it looks like this hardware is lasting at least as much as Apple hardware. Recently I had 3 Macbook Air laptops failing in a row... with things that are not easy to fix like motherboard, charging circuit, and so forth. After 2 years the warranty is gone so all they said was, we can change this for a new one for <unreasonable-amount-of-money>. All in all the switch back to Linux looks very interesting.
- davidw 10y agoThe thing that most impressed me is when the hard drive failed in the Inspiron when we were living in Austria. I had purchased the computer here in Oregon and brought it over there. I called up the local Dell number, expecting to have some huge hassle where I'd ship the computer to the US or something and wait a month for it to work its way through the system. Instead, a guy showed up at our door the next day with a new drive that he installed. It was definitely within the warranty period, but I was really impressed. They're not perfect computers, and I do tend to be pretty careful with them, but so far so good.

- yannovitch 10y agoCompletely off topic, but I follow your blog about redis for quite some time,and thanks to HN, I just discovered that you're from ~Catania, I was there few months ago and I plan to come back, when I do I would absolutely love to pay you a beer (or a coffee if you prefer that :))
- antirez 10y agoHello! Sure, please send me an email at antirez/gmail, only condition is that I pay :-) Cheers. Trivia: I'm not actually from Catania but from a different place in Sicily, (Campobello di Licata in the province of Agrigento). However I live here in Catania for several years.
