   Assuming you’re considering a modern Thinkpad, I’d say Dell because Lenovo has been caught installing malware on their laptops. Dell has also explicitly supported and preinstalled GNU for longer (although they don’t necessarily contribute t

   Subtitles are a perfect example of data that any normal browser downloads if you click CC, and can even be ^F'd if you click ‘Show Transcript’ on YouTube, but just happen to be orders of magnitude more useful if you control where they
