The thing about rational actors, is when given the same information they should make the same choices. I would argue that they're most likely, instead, just at the peak of mt. stupid

We shouldn't blame the victims that society failed to properly educate. You're right that if people intimately understood apple the way you probably do, they'd never buy an apple product. I would argue, however, that it's a failing of education not an informed choice to be corporately cucked.

Raid is not a backup!

Noooo, you got this backwards. Think about how many times you wanted an extra key for something. Push-to-talk in VoIP apps, extra modifier keys so you don't have to use double-modifiers... The possibilities are endless!

Standardize more useless keys so I can remap them on every keyboard!

It 100% is part of the character; so is the accent if you didn't know. He speaks a perfect Midwestern accent when not in character

I don't think anyone should expect a battery replacement to be free after 10 years, but it shouldn't cost $100,000

Just because you can't use it doesn't mean a hacker can't. If someone discovered a vulnerability in the 3g handshake or encryption protocol, it could be an avenue for an RCE.

I guess I should rephrase.

I label a lot of boxes and spice containers but nothing unhinged lol

DYMO Embossing Label Maker

They're like $9 on Amazon and I label everything. I have 2 myself, and they're also my go-to for white-elephant parties.

I run ubuntu's server base headless install with a self-curated minimal set of gui packages on top of that (X11, awesome, pulse, thunar) but there's no reason you couldn't install kde with wayland. Building the system yourself gets you really far in the anti-bloatware dept, and the breadth of wiki/google/gpt based around Debian/Ubuntu means you can figure just about any issues out. I do this on a ~$200 eBay random old Dell + a 3050 6gb (slot power only).

For lighter gaming I'll use the Ubuntu PC directly, but for anything heavier I have a win11 PC in the basement that has no other task than to pipe steam over sunshine/moonlight

It is the best of both worlds.
