Going from open to proprietary formats seems to be the wrong direction.

There are so many video ads on that page. I couldn't read the article; it was too distracting. Ars sure has changed.

Interesting. Good luck then! I'd be interested to hear back about some good ones. I agree, options are good and it's so much better than 20 years ago.

No, actually, they don't. They work with Clevo to make them, and Clevo can sell the hardware, but the firmware is very different, and possibly some of the hardware as well. see e.g. cassidyjames at https://news.ycombinator.c

I'd recommend using Windows under a VM, for this and myriad other reasons. But it really underscores the point that Linux and Windows hardware really are different.

If you believe getting a laptop crom System76 and from Clevo will get you the same laptop, you're quite mistaken.

The hassle is the relentless debugging and glitchiness after slapping Linux on a Windows computer. System integration is a thing, and it's hopeless for a random user with zero access to firmware and chip/board documentation. A

Generally, the format is too spend some, save some, and give some. 10% to charity, attend maybe another 10% if you feel like it, save the remainder. For saving, make sure you have a good emergency fund of 4-6 months of expenses. Then start

Yeah, good to know. No Xfinity (Stream or otherwise) for me, thanks. I thought this was 2023. Apparently Comcast didn't get the memo.

Weird. Your circle and my circles must have zero overlap. Your description is entirely alien to me.

No worries. In the interactions, you're much less trollish than I first took you as. Perhaps we can all get along after all. :) Cheers!

In my experience, "godbotherer" is a pejorative description of religious people generally, usually Christians. If "authoritarian" is referring to the "subsetting" p4s, no, it was not at all clear that it was in

"propaganda" is overstating it, but it's hardly a respectful engagement (e.g. "godbotherers"). They appear to have no deep engagement with real evangelical Christians, preferring to argue from stereotypes and pure c
