I used to run Ubuntu, but started liking it less and less.
After jumping around for a while, I settled on Mint. It is really nice, stable and easy to use for beginners, but everything is there for advanced users also.
But then there are places like Sanctuary mountain
So many options, it really depends on what you want.
What are people doing with their laptops, mine never break, except one time when I knocked a cup of water into one in 2005.
My latest one, Asus Zenbook is already 3 years old and no issues. Has a dent in the top cover where a nurse kicked my bag when I was in hospital.
My previous one, a dell Inspiron which my 9yo has had for 2 years, is 6 years old, he is not gentle.
Previous to that, I had a work supplied Alienware that lasted 7 years, I traveled internationally with that one quite a few times.
Not sure if I’m lucky, or more careful than average. But I hear about “build quality” issues a lot in internet posts. I’ve just never seen it in the wild…
Note: all ran/run various flavours of Linux.
I’m just using gadget bridge now, most of the original functionality is gone. I can’t be arsed jumping through the hoops to install the original pebble app on my phone.
I asked my partner if she wanted a new pebble, she has a nice little Garmin, her response:
I do like my Garmin in terms of a watch and the feel but the app is shit
Funny how she lost her last one:
Her strap broke on the pebble time, my (at the time) 15 month old saw it on the bench, and asked why she wasn’t wearing it. She said it is broken, a few days later she was going to get a new strap and the watch was gone. The 15 month old, had thrown it in the bin…rubbish day had already happened.
It has the screen tearing issue, which can’t be fixed because it is one of the original ones which are glued together.
I have to have it on the analogue watch face so the screen refreshes every second. But it has outlasted the 4 other watches I tried.
I am wearing my OG Kickstarter Pebble right now, 12 years and still getting 8 days battery out of it.
I think I will be getting a new Core Time 2
Edit: added picture
I kinda hate Poe’s law
In NZ if the bond is not lodged with the tenancy tribunal within a couple of weeks, the LL is in serious trouble.
Perfect response, how to show an AI sweating…
Ok, now we have AGI.
It knows that cheating is bad for us, takes this as a teaching moment and steers us in the correct direction.
Back then I wouldn’t put it at evil, I would have gone with malignant greed. The shit he is doing now, is evil.
I like to be careful with terms, so they don’t become watered down, being greedy isn’t evil, it can lead there if taken too far.
You are correct.
Previous to ~2013 before the boring company bullshit, he was just a nerdy guy with a vision and poor social skills. From memory, he was hard to work for because he expected so much of people and drove them hard. Yes his early money source is sketchy.
I think the popularity after the boring company started to mess him up, basically he became the memes he was sharing, and it broke his brain, then the drugs and money separated him from reality. Now he is so divorced from the experience of the regular person, that no matter what happens…barring the complete loss of his fortune, he will never be the same nerdy guy.
I think he will just get worse.
Have you tried spaced repetition?
Anki is a tool for this specific purpose.
We have David Seymour…
I went to help out a friend, a few years ago, he runs vanilla Edge, I can’t believe anyone actually uses the internet like that.

“Wyatt Earp is my friend.”
That scene always gets me, it’s one of the greatest in all cinema.
