They’re also compact, well-built(keyboards are fixed now) and with good battery life. Last time I was shopping, I found direct competition(XPS 13 and the likes) to be about the same price.

On a somewhat unrelated note, I recently realized my MacBook has 16 Gb RAM in 2021. My 2012 MBP also had 16 Gb. I know it’s possible to get machines with 64, but 16 is still a standard developer machine in many organizations I worked at. I

I get that there’s an anti-monopoly sentiment. And we’ve all heard the arguments many time. Let’s not forget that mandatory cookie banners turned into a complete shit-show. They were supposed to benefit the users. But are they not just an a

Perhaps you can grow economy by doing more automation. Naïve example is the lawn in front of my Danish apartment being taken care of by a robot. There’re countless other possibilities.
