The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Pfft. It's been 6 years, they just introduced a shittier version, and it's a smash hit. Most ahead-of-its-time computer ever made.

In Warcraft 3 we had Space: https://liquipedia.net/warcraft/Space

Windows users don't care. The MS account is some set-and-forget BS for the most part.

they have no excuse

That's irrelevant, because they don't owe you an excuse to begin with.

Open link. Get hit with corposlop imagery. Close article and go read HN comments.

The clear historical record seems to indicate we've got a bunch of pathological liars trying to automate pathological lying.

Common sense is not profound. What you suggested is a bit too much, but some accountability and reciprocity would be a good start.

I, for one, totally believe the government will prevent the government from abusing the government's power. /s

Did they think

Pretty sure they didn't do a lot of thinking.

Kind of like nuclear weapons

True, but you're not being bombarded 24/7 with irrelevant -- and most likely false -- information about nuclear weapons.

Civilizations have made underground cities for quite some time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derinkuyu_underground_city

Better SoC, no spinning fans. Also the screen won't die after 2 years of light mode usage.

The remaining stuff... I'd say Lenovo has caught up for the most part.

Yoo, what about the "and be happy" part???

We're talking trillions here. They will absolutely have to make it work, whatever it takes.

I unironically like the trackpad and keyboard on the Neo better than Air/Pro's.

It's not a perfect laptop, but I promise you people who spend $600 on their computer have never seen anything comparable.

People must want Windows or Linux so badly they will pay 25-30% for a thinkpad

Yup, I got Thinkpad X9, the idea being "Air 15 but with Windows". It does the job. I still think Air 15 is better (and cheaper), but the software compatibility and not needing to switch platforms outweighs that.

unless you're still gaming at 1080p

I think modern rendering techniques need more pixels. 1440p should be considered bare minimum, and 4K the norm. Unfortunately, the prices are what they are.

On the flipside, being a low-spec gamer is better than ever. Indies, oldies, mods... all in great shape.

I type out nowhere near enough code for this to matter, but it's pretty cool nonetheless!

Woah, how is this legal?! Actually, is it?

Until you need to repair something or change some hardware

The overwhelming majority of people would just go buy a new one. The downtime for ordering parts and waiting repairs has a price tag, likely greater than the laptop's price. Maybe that will change with how the prices of everything have been soaring lately.

Oof, true, somehow I failed to parse this part. Probably because you wrote "lots" instead of "lost".

However, in bulgarian in means 'thread'

You can use "конец" for "end" in Bulgarian too, even though it's antiquated.

I realized that most of the games I fancied playing just aren't meant for a 7" screen.

Disenfranchised people wanting the system to crash and burn is nothing new.

Win32 - the #1 stable userland ABI for Linux!

Entry-spec M1 Air is the best computer ever made.

I can't stand Apple, but it's the truth. I used one sporadically to build my stuff for Mac. Going back to my Windows workstation after that always felt like travelling 15 years back in time. I recommended M1 Air to everyone whose workflow was compatible with a Mac. Most of the people who acted on that recommendation still use it and don't really think about upgrading.

I legitimately have no idea what "SS" means next to a port

My wife is getting basically beat up by one of our kids now

You can't have this. Have a one-to-one conversation with your kid and tell them you can't have this. If they continue... well, I'm not saying "whoop their ass", but you can't have this.

I was only punished like this once as a child. It was because I beat another kid and took his crayons. It worked like a charm. So YMMV.
