Upon arrival, I opened it up to see if there was space for a rusty disk.

That's not an ASUS specific thing at all. What modern laptops actually have 2.5" drives anymore? Very few actually.

The thing is so flimsy it's scary. I feels like it's made out of a plastic pizza container and aluminum foil.

Yes this is actually more disturbing.

You guys enjoyed being kids? Whack

Bro that's not a defect, it means they can actually smell some molecules you can't.

That is not how this works at all. There isn't an actual medical diagnosis called psychopath. The closest we have is ASPD. I am fairly sure people with ASPD don't have as much difficulty with empirical reality as you are talking about. Delusions are more of a psychosis thing.

I also don't think it's fair to judge someone on an issue like abortion when entire religions shove the idea that abortion is wrong down your throat even when being a child. The indoctrination is strong. Stop blaming the victims here.

This isn't actually true. They offer both glibc and musl these days. Glibc is the normal one most Linux distros use. Musl doesn't work with some things, but is still desirable to some people for various reasons. Flatpak could be used to work around this, as it should pull in whatever libc that the program needs. Distrobox would also work. Though again this only applies of using the musl libc version.

Another potential sore point is not using systemd init. There are some things dependant on systemd, though generally there are packages which act as a replacement for whatever systemd functionality is needed.

I still have no idea what's wrong with Voids fonts though. You are on your own there!

Yes, but you wouldn't carry around an O2 canister necessarily, rather some kind of air filter I would imagine. I think we are a long way off making the air unbreathable though.

I don't think running out of O2 is in the cards. Poisoning ourselves in other ways sure. Turning land into desert also sure.

I know at least one furry who is actually a top. Shocking I know.

Plenty of other brands which aren't Chinese are both better and cheaper. Samsung, Apple, Google, Asus even.

Do they all use cheap Chinese labour? Sure. Do you actually think Fair phone doesn't? Even if they somehow completely avoid China for the whole supply chain, they will inevitably get cheap labour from somewhere - like Taiwan or Costa Rica. After all they are using standard Qualcomm parts, so that's going to be either TSMC in Taiwan or Samsung in China and Korea.

According to their own website their living wage bonus is only $2.63. It doesn't even say if that's per hour or per day.

It's not just about the cost though. They're inferior to pretty much any other mid-range or high-end smartphone too. Expensive but good would be fine. Cheap and mediocre would be fine. Expensive and mediocre though? Nah.

My £250 used phone has a faster processor, more RAM, better screen (higher resolution, brighter, bigger and higher frame rate), and a higher capacity battery with faster charging. It's a mid-range Xiaomi from a couple years ago, not a high end or flagship phone.

They should take notes from pinephone. Offers something unusual at a low cost. Since enthusiasts eat that stuff up you get extra help with software and ROMs too. Yes it's low spec, but it's good enough for enthusiasts to play with and is of good value as the price reflects the quality.

Presumably you do the work on paper and then type it up. I doubt professors would accept paper work nowadays.

It's a repost from Reddit. Doesn't matter what your filter is set to

See the top comment. This is from 5 years ago not actually copilot.

Have you missed the top comment? This isn't actually copilot. It's from 5 years ago. In other words fake news.

You can do maths in LaTeX and I have used Overleaf for group projects before.

That's not an alternative to Microsoft Recall. It doesn't take screenshots to record your activity.

Man I hope so but you really never know these days

Plenty of alternatives to Windows lol. Try a different industry.

The one that pretends to have elections where political rivals mysteriously die.

What fascists are you talking about? Ukraine is not the fascist party in this war. One of these sides is a dictatorship in all but name.
