I've had the same laptop for seven years. Don't know much about them besides buy a Toshiba. Is this Hp Essential Laptop a good deal?

  • A used corporate surplus laptop would be far better.

    This is a good opportunity to shamelessly plug refurb.io - I've bought machines for my family there. If you can stand the occasional appearance blemish it's a very reliable site.

  • It's essentially a practical application of the paradox of tolerance. And like with that one, the paradox goes away when the offending party breaks the social contract.

  • The world would be better off if certain people ate a bullet. But those people usually are not in the vending machine target demographic.

    • good replacement options power efficiency and affordable "large" storage?

  • The other responses have so far talked about hardware setup, so I'm not going to do that. Instead I'm looking at your software setup: VMs can be comparatively power inefficient compared to containers, specially for always-on services that idle often.

    • Is there a genre of music that's death metal without the screaming vocals?

    Jump

  • The change of pace between death and doom metal may be a bit jarring for OP, but do love me some Avatarium.

  • Given OP's question I would suggest Worship Music as a starting Anthrax album.

    This is it. They're trying to pull the ladder up behind themselves. "I got mine, fuck you." They don't realize that as far as the racists are concerned, they're in the "get fucked" demographic.

    • I am starting the process to immigrate to Canada from the US. Maybe unsurprisingly I find I have no ideas where I would like to live. I do enjoy mountains, and don't want to be in the heart of a city.
