Which do you find best? I am using Claude Code but hit the 5-hour limits easily, and burn through the weekly allowance in 3-4 days... and I'm not even using it for work

No X1 Carbon on the laptops page? That's surprising... or just interesting (if it's wrong) (I see the Yoga there, but it's a pretty different product)

Is Tether now backed by a reasonable amount of real dollars? I'm surprised to see it being used in such a serious application after years of hearing how it was a scam. edit: looked it up, still looks like a total scam. I hope El Salvad
