I was in the exact same situation late last year, and I went with a X1 Carbon 6th Generation. It has been fantastic. Everything just works, and it has probably the best keyboard I have ever used on a laptop

To be fair to those who add Garage's to houses, you can't do that with 100% predictability either. Nothing slows down an addition like digging the foundation and hitting a unknown oil tank.

Your correct that in the real world things are different, in fact here are the real world court cases that in my opinion clearly define the activity of the Brave browser as not a copyright violation. This case was about google getting money

Brave is no more impersonating Tom Scott then Google is, in fact they use the same source of information and get it the same way, the only difference is in Brave, after they pull and display that information from the public place where Tom

You mean like how if you google for Tom Scott[1] Google will pull the public profile info for a number of platforms ( twitter, youtube, instagram, wikipedia, and his own website ) and post it right there for you to read ? That is how the in

What gets me about the entire Google messaging ecosystem is how they manage to be so bad. My messaging system of choice is Signal, and it looks to be about three or four full time people that work on that. It manages to handle SMS, Grop Cha
