From my own experience this might have only been true before the age of 4 when I woke up to the world. After that only when I am so strongly identified with and attached to what is going on that it's unhealthy. Or when I have gotten it

Happiness is overrated. Every time in my life that I've been happy I've known I am, I realized at that moment that it is going to pass. Just as I realized every time I was miserable that too is not going to last. Pleasure is above

Isn't like, satanism about the love of self as opposed to the love of the One? That would be neat.

Or they might think the world is composed of opinions and not based in testable reality.

Yes. Name one.

Does that work with tiling? No, right?

I'm on the other end of that spectrum. I can't for the life of me understand why any website would need to have more than a half of my vertical screen. And if the UI design lets me get away with it, less. The only scenarios for a

OP here: so, from the amount of comments I surmise that my like-minded crowd is either not hanging around here no more, or aren't really numerous. Thanks everyone for participating in this discussion, I appreciate you all.

Just because some sliver (OK, large sliver) of their consumer base is satisfied with this shit doesn't mean that they didn't live a sizeable amount of people stranded for both hardware and software options. Because they did. I use

It used to be, circa 2009-2015, for me and mine. But not so anymore. Yes you pay. Yes the price is fair for what's on offer. No, it's not quality, and not the general direction I'm interested in, at all. Not in hardware, not

I'll take a look at it when they do, thanks.

Screws have to be sourced. Stored. Present at repair site, etc. That I can understand. But the thing about broken tabs is that only some form of double-sided adhesive or drilling a hole and socket for a screw to replace the tab actually wor

Well, let's say that if connecting my audio system and a keyboard and mouse at the same time causes problems with either, it's not good. And 95% of what I've used and seen is not good. Even in the world of Apple, it's ab

I happen to live and hang out in an area where it is cheaper. I have two operational desktop computers at home, so the laptop is for when I'm not at home, hence SIM is preferable to have.

I've looked at those. They are glossy. But that's not even the thing that turned me off. The keyboards did. One speck of dust and that thing gets stuck. The keys have no travel, that's no good. And having typed on it a bit, I

Wait, so your list is just 3 items, and they can't make a thing for you? That is so sad. I understand myself to be a seasoned sceptic, and hard to please after seeing my own list, having typed it out. But you... It is just weird you ca

> 4. No numpad so that the keyboard is centered. I've had that preference (strong preference) for as long as I can remember. It has recently changed, as I've discovered the convenience of scripting the UI and tiling my windows.

We are in the process of finding out, I've listed above what I think, and am combing through the comments now. Thank you for the ideas presented, I appreciate the time taken.

I hear you about Apple breaking things. But we disagree on the keyboard. I'd say that all their mobile keyboards past 2015 are utter crap, and I'd wager that this can technically be measured in breakage, dust sensitivity, typing c

Just from the picture, this will fail my keyboard requirement. That is not a keyboard I'd type on.

I hear they have keyboard flex and aren't great with Linux.

Apple has a different kind of customer in mind the last few years, I don't find what the do to their products in any way interesting anymore. Now that they have changed to not having ridiculous amount of interconnect and so sped up thi

I'd love a 5:4 or even just 4:3 screen, but those usually are reserved to tablets, shamefully. I don't realistically expect to find something like that, ever. High refresh rate is desirable, high resolution is nice-to-have, for me

My mom's flip-tap Lenovo does have that matte touch display. But it's way underpowered with it's mobile Intel. And the keyboard is not what I'd consider a keyboard at all.

by godDLL 5y ago
No, no, I didn't mean it like that. Rizen and Apple's current crop will suffice. Just not some mobile Nvidia or Intell bullshit, that won't do.

I have four desktops at my house, two of them operational, one in constant use. But good point, yes. Some people might be better served by a tablet or whatever.

Apple's are better. AMD's can be better. Why look to Intel at all, if not for availability?
269.
by godDLL 5y ago
Agreed, but I don't have my hopes up. Their keyboards have been atrocious for the last few years. Everything in their current lineup has the stuck-by-dust-particle problem.

Ask HN: What does one look for in a laptop these days?
