Oh, I'm keenly aware! I'm running vanilla arch on my laptop right now, and planning to migrate my desktop this year, I'm just pleasantly surprised how many have been willing to take the plunge

Telebotomy perhaps

Maybe. But that means a lot more diy, and once your done with buying a pi, screen, battery, and all the 3d prints, you're in about $160 anyway.

It's much smaller, lighter, and cheaper than a steam deck. Seems good for emulating retro games. Definitely a niche product, but cool.

Not very. Worthless if cut into short lengths.

A thief who rips a bunch out of a construction site or similar won't be able to sell it for anything, if that's what you wanted to know.

The prestige behind the thinkpad brand specifically predates lenovo. They bought it from IBM in '05. AFAIK they've always been seen as reliable, well built laptops, albeit a bit pricier.

As far as spyware, with win11 being what it is your options are install Linux or live with it no matter which manufacturer you go with.

I really wish it was easier to open up a TV, rip out all the compute and replace it with a custom display driver. Someone could unironically make a decent amount of money selling diy TV stupidification kits

You just have to deal with all the smart garbage every time you turn it on

Still plenty of Debian/Ubuntu out there. And with bazzite even Fedora's getting in on gaming.

Arch distros have made some truly impressive gains in userbases recently, though. Especially for being based on a distro that explicitly eschews user-friendliness

Cheap revolvers, guns with uncommon calibers, and guns with lots of rust/cosmetic damage that technically still work.

The gun deals subreddit has occasional super cheap sales on assorted guns that work but nobody wants.

Ps5s are about $500 still iirc.

You can totally get a used hi-point for less than that. Shit you can get a brand new one for less than $500. Police trade-in glocks go for about $400-$450.

They're not nice guns, but they definitely work. I think this buyback program may very quickly run out of money, and if anything it encourages people to buy guns they otherwise wouldn't have just to trade them in.

Both kinda already exist.

Easier to control for variables with airplanes. It seems like a simpler (still hells difficult, but simpler) problem to solve, so them first I'd guess
