You know, that's a great question that I don't have a good answer to. I don't have enough experience with laptops so take this with a bucketful of salt, but I think:
Framework looks amazing, but perhaps a bit niche: https://frame.work/ (next time I'm in the market for a laptop, I think this is what I'll get)
MSI is alright I think? So is Dell, maybe?
In my head HP has an absolutely dreadful reputation, but that's just because of printers. A friend of mine is pleased with her HP laptop.
Lenovo, I'm not sure. They've had an inexcusable security blunder in the past which made me write them off ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-enHfpHMBo4 ) but maybe they've turned things around, I really don't know.
The laptop market is in a really poor state, other than macbooks (which aren't really relevant for this discussion for obvious reasons) it's a race to the bottom and everyone's making compromises that I really don't want to see.
I'm not sure. My Asus laptop is about 5-7 years old (just woke up and can't quite do the math...). They've also really been screwing up on the security front: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC8qfXxAhAw
Of fucking course it's an asus. There's your problem right there. They don't know what the hell they're doing, and no one should ever buy anything this company makes.
Source: I have also been burned by them, and only afterwards did I hear a lot of other people's horror stories. It's a shit company.
Yeah that wasn't a great moment, but if you look at the context for that you'll see that it wasn't even talking about a black person. It was just an expletive, like saying "motherfucker" or "son of a bitch" etc.
Keep in mind that outside of USA the N word is not nearly as charged politically and racially as it is within the USA. And PDP is Swedish IIRC, not American.
Edit: my point is that his usage of that word - which AFAIK only happened once - is not indicative of his character. It's just indicative that he was really angry at that moment and human brains for some reason use expletives in those cases.
I've skimmed the introduction, and it only seems to cite the same Fiverr incident from 2017. I think it only uses PDP to illustrate some point and attract readers, but I'd have to read the whole thing to be sure.
That's not a claim to make without some evidence. There is a thing he did a long time ago on fiverr, and from my POV that does not reflect on his views at all. I can explain my reasoning if you want. Other than that incident, is there any other reason to suspect he's a Nazi?
I have asked a few times why PDP deserves all the hate. The best answer I got is "look it up yourself". I did, and the only things I found were many years old, and in each instance (of which there aren't that many) he apologized publicly and acknowledged that things got out of hand. To me, his apologies seem sincere and genuine - none of that "I'm sorry I got caught" bullshit that actual scumbags are known for.
I don't watch PewDiePie but he's alright best I can tell. If I've missed something, please let me know what that is, and be specific because I genuinely can't find it.
Sounds to me like you're allowed to see the color of the ball before you take it out. This means it doesn't matter which door you open, a gold ball will be available to pull and you win. Checkmate.
In my family the stereotype absolutely holds true, men (e.g. me and my dad) are messier than women (my mom). We clean less often and have a higher tolerance for filth. I don't like that about myself but it takes a lot of filth to get me off of my ass and cleaning.
From my understanding, Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons yet. What they destroyed is essentially a factory that creates one of the key ingredients required for making nuclear weapons. It's not a weapon yet, and it's not explosive yet. Iran's still a ways away from making that.
I super highly recommend William Spaniel on YouTube. He hasn't covered this bombing yet (I'm sure he will within a few hourstomorrow), but a few days ago he did briefly go over the process of making nuclear bombs, you should check it out: https://youtu.be/XA1CQp_oJ90?t=480
Either way it's an amazing channel for understanding world affairs, I really can't recommend it enough. Go watch any of his recent videos, they're short and well worth it.
There's a line somewhere between "computers that teach you not to do that" and computers that prevent dire consequences when you make a human mistake. The "just don't do that" policy is never enough. If there are no safeguards, at one point the mistake will be made.
Double edged sword. Applications asking if you want to save your stuff aren't designed to annoy you, they're designed to save you from the headache of losing your work.
But I can see why you'd want the power button to be a "stronger signal" than clicking Shut Down in some menu.
No. I can say this with confidence because I am an expert on war crimes - I have consumed two, maybe even three distinct pieces of media where war crimes have been mentioned. At one point I even glanced at the Wikipedia article on war crimes. You can count on me.
For real though I think throwing a frag grenade into an enemy army's bunker can't possibly be a war crime. The deception with the tin cans isn't relevant.
I realize this isn't serious but holy shit Prozac might have saved my life. Well, technically Prizma which is the same stuff. I went through so many unsuccessful depression treatments, Prizma is the only one that seems to be sticking. Sometimes the old stuff is just the best.
Worth noting that all treatments were in conjunction with psychotherapy, I don't think pills alone would have helped. And I also tried going without medication at all for a while, it wasn't good either. Prizma really is the only thing that works for me.
Edit: apparently the Prizma brand might only be sold in my country, but as I said it's just a different brand of Prozac.
