What are people doing with their laptops, mine never break, except one time when I knocked a cup of water into one in 2005.

My latest one, Asus Zenbook is already 3 years old and no issues. Has a dent in the top cover where a nurse kicked my bag when I was in hospital.

My previous one, a dell Inspiron which my 9yo has had for 2 years, is 6 years old, he is not gentle.

Previous to that, I had a work supplied Alienware that lasted 7 years, I traveled internationally with that one quite a few times.

Not sure if I'm lucky, or more careful than average. But I hear about "build quality" issues a lot in internet posts. I've just never seen it in the wild.....

Note: all ran/run various flavours of Linux.

They are illegal.

But by the time the courts have heard the case, the business is already bust.

If you decide to pick up the series, check out the reading order guide, I would personally go with sub series first and not chronological.

The City Watch or Witches are a great place to start.

That was tried here, and the guy couldn't get contracts with suppliers. They didn't want to endanger their contracts with the Woolies and Foodstuffs.

As a Pratchett fan, I have to say unalive <> inhumed; since "unalive" = dead whereas "inhume" = kill

So ramp up tension with either Canada or Mexico; then manufacture some incident and invade to "protect democracy" or some shit....bada bing bada boom, a nice little war and the ability to declare martial law.

I'm just using gadget bridge now, most of the original functionality is gone. I can't be arsed jumping through the hoops to install the original pebble app on my phone.

I asked my partner if she wanted a new pebble, she has a nice little Garmin, her response:

I do like my Garmin in terms of a watch and the feel but the app is shit

Funny how she lost her last one:

Her strap broke on the pebble time, my (at the time) 15 month old saw it on the bench, and asked why she wasn't wearing it. She said it is broken, a few days later she was going to get a new strap and the watch was gone. The 15 month old, had thrown it in the bin.....rubbish day had already happened.

It has the screen tearing issue, which can't be fixed because it is one of the original ones which are glued together.

I have to have it on the analogue watch face so the screen refreshes every second. But it has outlasted the 4 other watches I tried.

I am wearing my OG Kickstarter Pebble right now, 12 years and still getting 8 days battery out of it.

I think I will be getting a new Core Time 2

Edit: added picture

Came here to say this.

It get a job with Moist Von Lipwig and learn all I could

I believe it is called Liquid democracy

Well the wheels aren't supposed to fall off for a start

Take another moment to realize how shit Paw Patrol is.

1. Not challenging, has clear cut good/bad dynamic. Bluey doesn't have "bad guys"
2. PP is fairly inclusive.
3. Almost not emotional depth, everyone is always in a good mood.
4. Started off fairly grounded, but then power scaling for no reason.
5. Repetitive and boring.
6. What the fuck is up with dogs being intelligent enough to do the PP things, but also being subservient to humans? The whole dynamic is so fucked, Bluey doesn't have humans at all.

I only compare them because the are both dog based kids shows. But PP sucks

I kinda hate Poe's law

In NZ if the bond is not lodged with the tenancy tribunal within a couple of weeks, the LL is in serious trouble.

Gotta make sure that you are logged into the correct account on Lemmy, don't cross the streams.

Na, being 40 is fine. I'm 45, eat well and get a little exercise. I am healthier than I was in my 20's, I have more stamina and I think more clearly.

Perfect response, how to show an AI sweating...

Just remember folks, those 2007 people are able to vote now.
