Good for you. I have the worst Linux experience in 20 years, because I was tempted to buy a high-end laptop that happened to have a nVidia graphics card (ThinkPad X1E). Never ever will I touch hardware with nVidia. Certainly, I might not be

I imagine that people who buy a Mac, want to have a Mac and it's their choice to pay. Maybe I am wrong. But people who buy a PC, have no choice but pay the Microsoft tax for the pre-installed Windows on it. So, yes, it is reasonable to

This would mean that only 2.14 billion are indebted? At the same time, how does it include public vs. private debt? I think it would be really interesting how the figure of $86,000 per person was calculated.

Education free of charge and accessible to every child, in my opinion, is the greatest achievement in human history. However education for which you need to get into debt is something that I really don't think is a progress. It is stil

Maybe this is the reason that the certain other BDFL is still in service? Maybe it's part of psycho-hygiene in order to be able to continue? I sincerely don't know - your question just triggered my experience when working in psych

That's great! Thank you already in advance! I am playing with the idea to get a TalosII computer. But so far I didn't find much experience reports from users and on top, on the https://raptorcs.com/ they are only

Please let us know your experience with the Talos system.

I'm also looking at Raptor Hardware and I would love to hear the experience from somebody that uses it. As well, I am not sure that POWER9 is immune to these attacks. And then, well, you still cannot buy their products, as far as I und

I'm interested in the computers from Talos, but so far I did not hear from anybody having it. On their web-site it says that it is not yet shipping, you can just pre-order.
