Thanks for your input! What's the issue with Asus? Their Rog series has some really nice hardware it seems and might be something I can actually walk into a store and try in person.
What about Lenovo? As an owner of two ThinkPads and with friends happy about their Legion devices that's the one other manufacturer I have on my radar regarding "might be available in a store in my country".
I kinda want something powerful to last me while. I'm willing to spend 2k+ euros if I get a great device that'll keep me happy for a long time 😉 I haven't purchased computer hardware in several years
Also: I think the idea behind Framework is amazing and have been following their offering quite a bit
Never read anything specifically about sleep though.
I didn't want to get into this debate here, but I'm not buying from companies headquartered in a fascist dictatorship if I can at all avoid it 😉
FYI: my favorite manufacturers I'm eyeing are Tuxedo, Schenker and Asus.
Calm down. It's pretty well-known in economic circles that increasing taxes on a good will reduce consumption of said good, unless it's absolutely lime maybe baby formula. Even then some poor people are likely to be priced out of the market or at least forced to reduce consumption.
The income from a tax is generally not tied to a specific cause in most countries. If all it does is reducing meat consumption that would be a net benefit for the climate. And in this case also be beneficial for the economy as res meat isn't healthy and contributes to a lot of disease among the population.
The ballpark numbers seem well in line with similar studies I have seen elsewhere. So while I don't doubt there might be minor flaws in this particular source material, the point still stands.
We shouldn't nitpick too much about stuff that's generally trying very hard to get facts right while the right or making up shit left, right and center and call fact-checking a limitation of their free speech.
Suggestion: point out flaws but also confirm that it's definitely not just made up and probably largely correct
I might be able get behind this argument when you talk about the rules on plastic straws. But red meat is terrible for the environment. As is driving cars. Especially ICE and especially when it's just one person, i.e. most work commutes. Another thing is heating/ cooling homes btw.
I personally think there are a lot of small things we should do as individuals but I understand not everyone might want to do them. I also agree that it's up to governments to do a lot of heavy lifting. That can be things like establishing district heating or improving public transport. But maybe it can also be adding higher taxes on red meat.
If you're sent to Afghanistan for murder and tried for murder there, I might get that. Not agree, but get it.
But if you shoplift, are sent to Afghanistan and then they kill you because you're gay, then the German government clearly has your blood on their hands. That's fucking disgusting.
Pretty sure my dad's secondary desktop I used for my first Linux install had a 1.2 GHz Duron or something and 512 MB. I'm pretty sure I got that funky compiz fusion 3D-cube desktop running on there 😅
This. Some convenience features simply don't play well with non-standard setups and that's fine IMHO. Of course wireless android auto cannot work if you manually overruled how your phone should connect to networks
If only all the "freedom loving" idiots noticed that enabling all members of society to be mobile regardless of physical abilities, place or wealth, is true freedom for a society.
Being enslaved to a metal box on wheels clearly isn't freedom.
