  • I know this thread is a tad old but I’ve been considering a framework for the family laptop for a while. Problem is stocking and this recent 16 model run also had 13 orders run too. I won’t pay for a unit months in advance. It ruins certain protections from the merchant (like failure to deliver).

    Instead I got a thinkpad t480 for like 400 bucks. It will do fine as a laptop mostly used for chrome, paying bills or zoom calls etc.




  • He was. One of the better dogs I’ve ever owned. Was in effect a therapy dog for our other pup that struggles with people. And always more tolerant than he should have been with the kids.

    It was a long time coming. He had tumors in his throat and nose and eventually his quality of life suffered too much. Just sucks.

    He’s also the first death that hit my youngins hard. My 5 year old has struggled the most. Has some disturbing anecdotes since. Having to choke back your own thoughts/processing to explain it to kids is hard. Harder than I thought





  • My trait is I think cars are too digital and should be analogue. Giant touch panels are distracting and have generally bad UI design. You can control an A/C with 3 dials, 4 if you have zones and don’t need to look down at all. Pinnacle of engineering.

    I will never own a car that has features behind a paywall or that I can’t directly control. Computer cars are fine as long as I have root.
