Fair point, my newer (late 2010s) Thinkpad has soldered RAM which is a step in the wrong direction, so this is definitely an interesting product.

This is unrealistic! You would often have to wait minutes for the numbers to 'go around' once you typed a new number in ;) Very cool and nostalgic, otherwise!

So this would put the Framework laptop into the same category as a Thinkpad? My old (8 years) Thinkpad has had: a new battery, a new keyboard (orange juice!), a new screen (upgrade!), new RAM, new HDD and a new charging plug. All of the abo

You can achieve the same using dynamic in C#: eff((dynamic)pokemon1.type, (dynamic)pokemon1.type); Comes at a bit of a performance cost of course.

That's a good tip! Sadly it does not save me from going and editing a system file as non-root and then trying to save... :(

Does anyone have the story behind that? Seems like a weird comment to make in the context of the rest of the e-mail.

Really? I still use my now over 8 year old Thinkpad (upgraded screen, hdd, ram and replaced the keyboard after an orange juice 'incident') and it feels as quick as my 2 year-old work laptop. Moore's law is long dead for cons

Well if you take into account that the roof framing that caught fire was made out of timber I think that highlights that even just using wood as part of the building is a massive fire hazard.

That is a good point, although I used to work for a US multinational with people based in France and they often took 3-4 weeks in one go. More than that might be pushing it a bit.

Maybe you should move to France where something very similar to the above is pretty much encoded in law (with caveats of course). I have not worked in France but as far as I understand, if you work more than 35 hours a week you will get the

I also highly recommend Jellyfin, it has come a long way! I run the server inside a Proxmox linux container and use the Google TV client. The UI on the Google TV app isn't quite as polished as the Web UI but gets the job done.

> I’m not sure why you introduced homes to the analogy. That’s a very different scenario. In what way is a home that you fill with stuff you bought in a store different from a computer that you fill with stuff you bought in a store?

A restaurant only sells its own merchandise so this comparison does not make any sense. The App Store is a 'store' in this case (it's in the name) and is the only store where you can buy items for your Apple home. Imagine if

Alcohol has gourmet attributes and is a good social lubricant. The question is more around whether those two attributes warrant ingesting what is essentially poison. I don't think I've ever heard a cigarette smoker comment on the
