This isn't a jar of honey it's a mass produced electronic device that's only made in a select few factories in the world with some custom branding on it. Lenovo has just given them some old stock which they're trying to flip. Very different scenario to a mom and pop store entirely.

You are right in everything except that it's absolutely not the superior option in OPs situation. A lawyer has to guarantee that a document is identical and recallable in its exact form even years from now and the only way to absolutely ensure this is using Office itself.

Furthermore, most law firms use and have to access other parties document management systems and the thick clients for these with all the features only run on Windows. Screwing around with WINE to get these maybe working isn't worth the hassle for a time-poor lawyer with cases to work on.

Computers are just another tool in the box when it comes to your business and you should use the best version of it to get the job done. It's simply only Windows in OPs case here that's the viable option. It might be corruption or vendor lock in or whatever but there's no point trying to fight it in this scenario.

Are you attacted to the guy because you think he's hot and you wanna sleep with him or are you after more than that?

If you're after more then take the time to get to know him and be yourself, with time you will break down barriers and get to know him better and find out if you truly are compatible. You don't have to have sex right away with someone you want a long term relationship with.

However, if you're just looking to get laid, then just do that. If you're attractive then it's literally one of the easiest things in the world for a woman to achieve so just keep that in the back of your mind, that the dude is probably into you no matter what, and go for it.

There was some noise a while back where Nvidia were going to do just that by moving the proprietary bits to the card and open sourcing the kernel bits.

What ever happened to that anyway?

This is a laptop with a 2 generation old processor and no real GPU being sold for about the same price as a Lenovo laptop with a Ryzen 7 + 4060 GPU in it. I think Lenovo scammed you.

I suspected this was the case the moment I heard about it and the length of time it took to fix it. Typical outage for stuff managed out of SE Asia.

I've worked with lawyers a bit in an IT role so I'll put it bluntly. Don't bother.

Why? You have to ensure complete compatibility with Microsoft Office standards in your job and you may also need to access third-party systems especially document management systems on a regular basis. These things require Windows. It's a sad fact of life that your colleagues being able to read your documents and ensure consistent layout is more important than anything else.

Yes, you can try Libre Office and soforth. However, the moment the court staff, other lawyers or anybody else gets a jumbled mess you're going to cause yourself more problems than it's worth. Even you yourself need to be able to ensure compatibility when it comes to information storage and retrieval too.

Windows licences are essentially free with your devices anyway and the cost of Office is a couple of hundred bucks top. Money might be tight but losing information from your court cases could put you out of business.

Sorry Linux fanboys, but Windows is the superior option here as much as I wish it was not. It's simply the best tool for the job.

I think the problem was doing the show in an incredibly small town where the hillbillies only like country music.

That's incredibly overpriced for the spec and what you're getting. Ouch. Why can't somebody make a decent laptop that's actually remotely cost competitive with a bog standard Windows laptop that I can just randomly buy at my local store?

Can't find any information about the price or how to actually buy it though.

This is more than just NIMBYs in Australia unfortunately. There's a huge campaign pushing nuclear energy here over renewables. The current government is pushing renewables while the opposition party is pushing nuclear. There are a few mining companies and things who stand to make absolute bank if we went nuclear and the mining companies have a lot of political control here. The opposition party is largely in their pockets too.

This article is just one example of the relentless and unashamed attacks on renewable energy here in the complicit media. They have discovered that they can straight up lie to the public and us idiots will swallow it hook line and sinker without question. That's why you get such ludicrous articles like this here in Australia.

In Australia there's a push for nuclear even though we have access to some of the best renewables on Earth and it's way more cost effective to use renewables here too.

We even had some annoying ass shill kid doing the rounds in the media with a fake "movement campaign" proportioning to be the "voice of the youth". It turned out the little bastard was the kid of some wealthy family with direct support and ties to the paid off political party here who's pushing nuclear for their masters. He was sprung when some nerd compared the code in his website to that of the political party and large parts of it were identical.

If that's happening on your distro then try any of the modern big names and it'll be fine. Left over cruft being a problem beyond some extra disk space usage is a thing of the past.

It kinda is but I've tried it and it's very clunky. MobaXTerm is the bees knees in comparison.

I watched a thing about copyright and trademark enforcement where the corporate organization was somehow able to gather a team of 50 police at tax payer expense and march them into a Sunday market in order to capture and shut down market stores selling fake knockoffs. You could see how wildly unpopular it was with the entire crowd around them where some shoppers even continued browsing and trying to purchase goods from the shut down stores even with cops standing right there trying to make the crowd move on.

Copyright and trademark infringement against multi-billionare companies with continuous record profits is seen as a victimless "crime" at best by the vast majority of people, even reasonably well off people too. The only repercussion if you're "caught" should be just paying the actual construction/reproduction cost of the item which is pennies, they weren't going to make this sale at their ridiculous retail price in the first place and their real losses are miniscule at best.

Mine are from PTSD so what exactly is mine preparing for?

Thanks military btw.

All modern distros let you install them all and just select which one you wish to use from the login screen. You don't need NixOS or anything specifically to do this, in fact it's easier on other distros because usually nothing more than installing the packages is required, no config editing, rebuilding or even rebooting.

Don't worry, I wish there was a Linux equivalent to MobaXterm anyway.

Linux Mint is one of the best ways to take an old business laptop from a few years ago and turn it into a nice, functional and smooth running device. I have been doing this myself too.

If it were true it'd be removed before then anyway.
