Oil burning is the only real issue's they have these days. At least for Subaru.

Subaru fixed headgaskets with the new FA and FB series engines. Oil burning is typically consistent so just know how often you need to top it up if it's a problem, or just get early oil changes. Otherwise they're very reliable, just hard to work on.

Are you sure S3 sleep is enabled in the bios? On most machines it's one or the other, not both at the same time. On some Intel machines you can still enable S3 standby, but I know AMD killed it a lot sooner than Intel did.

Windows has powercfg /availablesleepstates to show what states are supported. I'm sure there's something like that for linux but I'm not 100% sure. You could try dmesg | grep -i "acpi: (supports"

How intensive is nomachine? I've used it on decent hardware and it's performance was pretty good. But I'm thinking of setting it up on the raspbery pis at work since VNC is painful to use.

Windows will even notify you of exactly this limitation.

From the thunderbolt port on my laptop, to my dock, to my monitor, to my big ass hub was 1 too many hops. Obviously somewhere along there were some hubs that weren’t obvious to the naked eye.

Shit dealers (and especially the sales people) tend to not at all be trained on how to sell these cars, and can be openly hostile towards people interested in them. EVs don't make them as much money on service.

Windows 10 forces edge, bing, and ads in the search bar already. Reverting to 10 changes nothing in that regard.

I use FreeNAS/TrueNAS core, and I've been using it for almost a decade now.

The UI definitely has a sharp learning curve (it's not at ALL noobie friendly) but once you figure it out it's a lovely system. It's FreeBSD based and not Linux based, but to me that's largely an upside since I've liked it a lot more.

Open sourcing code definitely doesn't cost nothing. Assuming your code is 100% in house and wholly owned by you then at best you just dump it onto github. But it rarely ever is. Qnap and synlology probably have a lot of proprietary code directly from Intel that they can't share. Now they have to comb through every line of code that could be using Intel's code, and then do something about it. Either delete it and release really broken code, or try to make something work which now 100% costs someone's valuable time

My very first phone was my only non "smart" phone. And even then it was pretty powerful for what it was. It had a web browser, could play mp3s, etc. but I don't think it was explicitly a smart phone.

My next phone was a Pantech Duo which was labeled a smart phone, but probably wouldn't be considered one by modern standards. It did the same thing as the previous phone, but you could load apps onto it, came with word, excel mobile on it, could do email, etc.

After that phone I got an iPhone 3g shortly after the 3gs came out.

I mean no shit? Everyone knows kids will lie about their age to sign up for something. 99% of kids born after the internet got popular have lied about their age. Everyone knows they do it.

If you're doing it for the memes then you don't really need to worry about malware. Your machine is probably too old for anything that's still floating out there to even work on it.

Whenever there’s a real sale on them and not just marking them up to MSRP then back down again. Aka any time before November or after December.

Use websites like camel camel camel to track prices on something you want and see if it’s actually a good deal.

Hope they weren’t WDs. Those aren’t even worth 1/10th their price.

There’s a point where it goes from basic theming to full blown ricing. I think OP is trying to jump off the deep end.

Of distracting from the original issue with bad faith arguments?

Define "sensible"

Cars are already as light as they can reasonably be unless you get into something hyper specialized. And then you just have a tin can with wheels.

First figure out the exact model machine you have. 10.5.8 is the last version that will run on a PPC machine, and you need an OS that came out after your machine came out (minor version at least) or else it won't boot.

https://macintoshgarden.org/ has all you'll need to download. Check everymac for supported OS versions.

The 13" pro is the old touchbar chassis that's been used since 2016. The 14" is the new bodystyle that came out in 2021 with the M1 pro Macbook pros. If you have the money I'd highly suggest going for the new 14" pro over the old 13" pro. If you wait a bit there should be some heavy discounts. The touchbar is atrocious, the bigger screen is much nicer, and you get a much bigger battery.

But you're paying a lot more money for not that much more computer. The M3 should be a substantial upgrade over the M2, but not the price apple wants for it, and not the price they'd go for after discounts from stores. Unless you plan on doing long running continuous workloads I'd go with the M3 air (whenever it comes out) or even the M2 air with it's heavy discounts over the base M3 MBP and it's not really any discounts.

What if you really hate support and ease of finding images online?
