They put 49c labels over the 99c wherever I bought them in California. I think the 99c price was originally for convenience stores because there were sales of 5 for $2 at Walgreens in 2018.

Even if nothing actually changes, this is what happens if you try to turn your customers into the product by unfair gotcha capitalism. The problem is that most customers, especially Americans, rarely push back, so product managers incorrect

The design of T490 was a big "F U, users" from Lenovo. My magnesium top cased T480 (non-s) with 64 GiB RAM, (4) 72 Whr batteries and the internal one still works and is good enough for the girls I go out with and Windows 11 Enterp

That's unnecessarily alarmist FUD from a decade ago that has nothing to do with today. Windows 11 installed clean with support drivers has only minimal Lenovo items: - Lenovo EasyResume Service - enables a grace period before hibernati

Lenovo Thinkpads were already on the side of repairability, but that declined after the Apple cargo-culting that began around the time of the T470. The T480 had dual batteries, 1 removable and 1 internal. The T490 was even more enshitified

Buy color toner refill kits. Melt a hole in the cartridge with a soldering iron, refill it, and seal it with aluminum tape. Better to spend $70-150 than $300-1200 on new cartridges. PS: I'm currently in the market for an 5-15 year old

Even if you only print things once a month, a laser printer is far less wasteful in time, money, and bullshit than ink that's perpetually dry or consumed. Rather than an entry-level laser printer that cannot be economically repaired, a

There is no blocking enforcement, yet. On Apple devices with some major carriers such as AT&T and Verizon, it provides a check mark beside a validated number (mostly, other mobile subscribers). The expansion of interoperability with the

That sounds like a Kafkaesque, dystopian situation of readily tearing families apart, lack of due process, and guilt until proven innocence. I would recommend contacting ProPublica and TheGuardian to raise awareness. Edit: My cousin is simi
