  • 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 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.









  • 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.
