How about this: 1. I have health insurance 2. The point of insurance is they're supposed to pay for shit 3. You figure out how to get them to pay for shit, sign an agreement that removes me of any patient responsibility of the balance

The main problem with Framework 13 thermals is that if you just put it on top of a bed or sofa, the cloth blocks the bottom ventilation holes and the PC roasts itself with zero airflow. It's fine placed on top of a table, just not on a

I was really hoping for 6 USB-C ports, dual NVMe, a flush bezel, a better webcam, and most of all, I was hoping for a cooling design upgrade that doesn't cause the computer to self-roast if placed on top of a sofa due to ventilation bl

Pretty much all sites do that to my laptop these days if I don't enable uBlock Origin. Google Meet consumes 25% of each of 16 hypercores, ffs. On a 7840u. Laptop becomes a toaster.

Strategies like this can easily be positive EV until enough people discover it and that actually is the driving force behind efficient pricing. Here's how the mechanism works: I find that something is statistically worth $0.70 but I
