  • I have two of them, and I think they are great. That being said, they are significantly more expensive than similar options from Dell (or Lenovo, HP, etc.) They just don’t have the volume of production needed to compete.

    MAYBE you’ll end up ahead with upgradability or repairability, but honestly, you’re paying more to support good company practices.

    I’m planning on keeping these laptops for a long time and upgrading when I need to, but we have to be realistic that most people aren’t going to stomach a minimum of 30% premium for options they don’t care about.












  • Which is KIND OF ok unless someone looks at a password breech list and figures out your super simple pattern. And I’m sure the rise of AI being used in password breech attacks will just make it more automated.

    Real, true, random passwords/tokens is really the only way to actually be safe. Which means you have to use a password generator, AND something to save the password.





  • You don’t want that. Because at any given moment, kids are committing all sorts of minor violations. They trespass, stay out too late, get into scuffles, etc.

    But now there’s a cop watching you 24x7, and catches you smoking at 14 in a closed construction site with your friends… you get arrested cause the cop is a jackass. Now you’ve got a record, you missed a couple weeks of school, and college won’t accept you, and your future is fucked.

    You did the exact same thing that millions of other teens did, but because a cop happened to feel kinda like fucking you over, your life is ruined.

    You DO NOT want cops patrolling your neighborhood, or anywhere you hang out.
