Everything we think of as owned is only borrowed from the Earth

we're not part of the EU anymore and therefore not covered by the EU's mandate that is forcing Apple's hand

I think Mars Attacks counts, although perhaps the humans and aliens were portrayed as being equally stupid 😄

EDIT: did not realise I was posting in a books group. Just came up in my main feed. Anyway Ima leave Mars Attacks here in case anybody forgot about this excellent film.

Same. 3h or less usually. Love my colleagues, the work is fine. But the requirements are so low that I'm able to manage a startup during work hours 😌 #softwaredeveloper

Thinkpads tend to have excellent build quality, solid firmware and well thought out design. Price to performance on second-hand models is always outstanding and their popularity ensures hardware compatibility with Linux.

Of the brands you named, I just don't trust the hardware. Tuxedo computers for example uses Tongfang white-label computers that they just slap their logo on. Quality control isn't as thorough as Lenovo's, firmware is sketchy, TDP tends to be all over the place and keyboard quality doesn't come close.

Thinkpads also have-- and I can't stress the importance of this enough-- a nipple. I don't really use it, but if you try to take it away from me I'll bite you.

I'm all about the side-folders (Z-Fold), the flip folders (Z-Flip) are cool but gimmicky. Never owned one, but probably will one day!
