Because it disproportionately affects people with higher melanin content. And this whole shit brigade is racist trash.

Probably counting protests as violence…

I thought the same thing, guess we shouldn’t be surprised that this looks exactly like what we’re packing the government with

Why not just use both?

Yeah, I am thinking about getting one of those too, but I’m probably going to wait for the next generation before I buy one.

Unless they have a flash sale before the next release ;-)

I’ve shopped around for a 12+ hour Linux laptop, I think you should wait a little while to pull that trigger, Qualcomm isn’t exactly great /w Linux, RISC is currently tripping on its own laces and people just aren’t interested in making this kind of thing exactly, yet.

I’m guessing that in a few years a lot is going to change with low power laptops that can still compute efficiently.

I have a 5 year old laptop that when I set it to highest efficiency can get almost 4 hours as long as I’m not doing 200 things, which is fine most of the time.

Plus I’ve read in a bunch of places that putting standard Linux on Chromebooks is way more complicated than it ought to be, so I’m not sure I’d pull the trigger on that without first researching the specific laptop you’re looking into.

Not that I’ve tried personally, just the Internets.

I run Gentoo /w 4TB NVME and 64GiB RAM, and I probably couldn’t point at anything that’s any faster than anybody else’s setup.

Except I can run a bunch of JetBrains IDEs at the same time (power woo!).

But you haven’t clicked yes on any of the offers yet…

My favorite thing about the modern world is how we don’t get to own the computers we purchase…
