Probably any of the ThinkPads I had. They were sturdy and just ran everything I put on them. Second place would be the Dell XPS 13, I like it because it is very small and light, but in the one I have now they already had to replace the motherboard after a month and when holding it with one hand it bends and sometimes does a click on the trackpad, but I don’t want to send it in a second time because I normally don’t use it like that.

It’s like 8 years ago or so, I had the InfinityBook with a skylake processor.

Bluetooth stopped working, send it in then it worked and stopped again, then send it in and it worked and stopped again.

The microphone had broken noises, tested it even under windows to be sure it’s a hardware problem.

Discoloration where the hands are left and right of the trackpad.

Plastic bezel around the screen fell off, the tape was bad quality.

Ah I wrote it down last year here:

I really wonder if they got any better, I had such a bad time with my tuxodo computer, had to send it for repair twice and replaced it with a used ThinkPad after less than a year.

Pro tip: delete the app on your phone. Needing to put in the website into the browser breaks the misscle memory and you can then easier replace it with something else.

Oh but I agree to your sentiment of subscriptions. the only subscription I have is a Server at Hetzner. I hosted my stuff from home before but with all the constant moving it’s very complicated. So it’s worth to me to pay the 20 EUR a month for hosting a VPS. Another subscription is access to the internet and rent. But other than that I don’t have anything.

For me it’s mostly the opposite. I really like my things digital, not physical. I already live in the 4th country in my life. I can’t move any physical things with me, but if it’s digital it needs almost no space. I printed photos as photo books because I thought it’s much easier to access. Now all of them are still in Sweden and my friend who has my stuff in her attic is asking me to get my stuff because she is moving and doesn’t want to deal with my stuff. But because I’m in South Korea, I can’t get them. It’s way to expensive to move it. But I don’t want to throw them away, but probably will need to.

I have all those pictures in digital form and do access them far more often than I’d think. I wrote scripts which show random old pictures on the TV and post a “today X years ago” picture to different family chats.

We are approaching the use of AI in Firefox — which many, many of you have been asking about

Which one of you was it, who asked for AI in Firefox???

A New Computer with pre installed Linux also has all drivers necessary preinstalled.

For some reason you’re suggesting us to believe that your wife and kids do the maintainance of the windows machines like finding GPU driversbut couldn’t do it for Linux machines.

I did what the parent waz talking about to 3 children and 2 Seniors and one middle aged guy.

One child complained that he couldn’t install windows games his peers were playing but other than that no complains.

I installed Ubuntu on older laptops, made sure everything works. Turned on auto updates and installed VNC server software if help would be necessary.

I also have one person with windows I help remotely.

The only difference for me is that the windows user somehow constantly has some bullshit extensions or something which change the browser behavior.

Practically the only thing those people use is a browser.

Oh and nobody has a discrete graphics card which would require a driver. Each of those laptops worked fine from scratch, no hardware problems.

That would be a really cool addition to immich

Probably, but I’d need to understand the database schema for it. Don’t really have time for that.

I just put everyone’s first name there as the username for the whole family.

It’s really annoying that the unique identifier is the username and domain instead of an ID. My fiance switched her nationality and therefore her legal name, but there is no way to change it in PeerTube where I made an account for her. OK theoretically we can create a new account and change the ownership of each of her videos but there are hundreds of them.

He is probably an antisemit! /s

Why would this asshole not be able to order Microsoft to start implementing this software after they got elected if they didn’t do that before he was elected?

Somehow this is a really good idea. I’m delegating “Coupang Eats” from my phone, it’s too easy yo use.

That I can agree with ;)
