That’s exactly my point though. If I’m supposed to vote for the lesser of two evils, shouldn’t I be applying that to the rest of my life?

Never heard of these guys, thanks for posting that. Their prices are a bit rough, but so are Framework’s these days. Do they offer board schematics like Framework does?


K, so then don’t buy a computer because no company is perfect.


Just some fools on lemmy crying about the fact that they gave the creator of Hyprland a laptop and a couple grand, which is apparently enough to make Framework about as evil as US Border Patrol.


So you’d rather buy a laptop from a vendor that gives price breaks to ICE, such as Dell and HP, or one indirectly owned by the CCP such as Lenovo? That’s certainly a choice.


Oh shit, I didn’t know that about Telo. That gives me a little more hope about it, though it still doesn’t have the same draw to me as the Slate does, Amazon involvement notwithstanding. Honestly, with how simple the Slate is, I’m curious how Amazon would even exert the same control over their vehicles as Tesla does (but not curious enough to want to find out, of course).


Yeah I just looked at prices for LTO drives and it made me wish optical was still a thing. $3500 for an LTO8 drive alone is more than the value of my entire homelab.


The Slate seems like it’s almost there, but the range still kinda sucks. Telo looks promising too, but it has the same vaporware scent about it as the Aptera so who knows if it’ll ever happen.


You absolutely can access it from outside your network if you configure it that way.


Oh yeah, I do remember looking at those too, but iirc they were all still at a significant range disadvantage compared to the model 3. Dunno about now, though.


That’s when I bought mine, and it was either get a Model 3 with ~270 miles of range or a Nissan Leaf or a tiny BMW iQ, both with like 80.
For the record, if the software updates stopped where they’re at today, I’d be fine with how the car functions until the end of its life. In fact, I kinda wish they’d just leave things alone at this point because I don’t want any extra features out of the thing.


This got me thinking that maybe I should grab an LTO drive to use for homelab backups.


It kinda feels like the digital equivalent of “I’M MOVING TO CANADA” in a lot of cases.


Holy FUCK YES. I had to switch to Gnome because the framerate difference was giving me a headache.
I disagree. Being able to slap the windows key and type the name of the program I’m looking for is one of my favorite features of both Gnome and KDE and I wish Windows worked similarly.
