Sounds to me like those founders don't really have the work ethic required to start a company if they immediately set out a red line that they won't work for less than $250k/yr. Who the hell makes that kind of money anyway? O

If you've ever taken apart a ThinkPad, you would notice that inside is a metal frame to support the entire laptop body. It's not plastic. Plus, this ThinkPad (and the newer ThinkPads in general) have a metal exterior

I want to ask a question in good faith to macOS users recommending people to download (and a lot of times pay for!) 3rd party tools to improve userspace functionality on macOS: Why is this the norm? Downloading a 3rd party tool is one thing

How much wealth would one even have to warrant having a financial advisor? And also, aren't they a waste of money most of the time? Their function can be reduced to flowcharts you get from Reddit a lot of the time
