If you want something that's under £100 and don't mind Bluetooth check out the soundcore life Q30s.

Honesty the first time I tried them I though they cost double what they actually do, and they've been my daily driver since.

For some reference I also have some audio technica ATH-M50Xs, but I find these more musical and they have ANC so I daily drive these and use my M50Xs for critical listening when needed( I've added that just so you know that I know what decent audio sounds like and don't think that cheap beats knockoffs are good).

The problem with that is the same I've had trying to update an old MacBook my mother uses.

The patching tools work most of the time, but especially with Windows what happens when there is an update forced on you that breaks everything and you have to wait a few days and reinstall the whole OS again.

Most people don't want that insecurity. And don't tell me if it catches on in the slightest that Microsoft won't do everything they can to break the patches.

Just look what John Deere did when people made 3rd party GPS devices for their farm equipment.

As much as I hate to say it for people who won't use Linux isn't there that version of chrome OS you can run on a normal x86 laptop. That's a lot better then making a ton of landfill ( and it pains me to say that because I really hate Chromebooks, but that's better then wasting tons of perfectly good computers).

Wouldn't you want to just want to type q! As you've probably opened it and accidentally made changes you didn't want to. So you wouldn't want to save the config file. Or the text file you just created.

and the cost.

When are they going to make Gabriel Dropout season 2?

Wow more articles raising awareness of an issue your dead Grandma already knows about.

Because that's a lot easier then doing anything about it, and anything that claims to do anything about it is a bill full of other agendas that barely addresses the problem.

If you want to talk about underrated look into POWER CPUs.

Motherboards like the tallos 2 are completely open source( except for an nvme storage controller) and they already offer x86_64 levels of performance. The only con right now is software support and the cost.

Apparently it can also read any decryption keys read by the cpu.

Honesty just reading them all doesn't take long as they aren't super long or wordy, and then you know what the terms for using any FOSS software is just by looking at what the licence is

1. It feels great
2. Terminal programs run on a potato
3. They are almost always way more powerful then their GUI counterparts
4. They integrate with scripts and other tools for unlimited power and flexibility!
5. You feel like a hacker man
6. Your IT literate friends think you are cool
7. You can really do things your own way

So yeah I love using the terminal for almost everything

Yeah no. Smartphones have ruined our mental health and privacy enough I can't even imagine what an implant would do to us.

But at that point as much as I hate to say it you're probably better off with a cheap windows laptop.

As at least you can get updates till the hardware no longer supports it.

That's a lot less wasteful then making something and planning when it won't work anymore.

It all depends on the licence. Even if you buy something on physical media you may not technically own it. If something has a FOSS licence MIT, BSD, GPL, etc Then yes you do own your copy and no one can change that.

You can download offline installers that don't require an internet or licence key to install, so if you back them up I'd say you own them to the same degree you'd own a game on optical media

I wouldn't buy a Chromebook, but at least they let you use non web apps on it.

I still don't get why every Chromebook has a preset expiration date for when it will stop getting updates. That really seems like a great way to make lots of ewaste. Especially since they lock down the bootloader so well.

Of course they do. It's just they're no longer afraid of telling us they are

As much as I don't like epic mega games as a game company I don't think a company should get a cut of every purchase made in an app on their platform. Sure if you want to use googles or apples payment gateway, but you shouldn't have too.

Why is this whole platform obsessed with twitter. I thought people came here to get away from mainstream social media, not hang on every little detail of how a rich dude mismanages his latest purchase.

Lolcat, yt-dlp, hyprland. Honesty though most of what I find cool these days wouldn't make any sense to a Windows user. Like DWM, ST, XBPS, lf, ly, neovim, etc.
