Really terrible in Canada. If you don’t have a family physician (like everyone I know), good luck making it through triage at the walk-in clinic because you want a test to see your baseline values or proactively check for deficiency. The “hack” is you can pay a naturopath to order tests but the tests are not covered by public insurance in this case (actually pretty expensive IIRC).

Sam Altman the war contractor? I assume they are no longer called defense contractors under this administration.

I wonder what Apple estimates this percentage to be given some of their design decisions.

If you offered me schematics and PCB designs for a tool I desired, I might be /more/ inclined to give you money just to support you. Nothing to do with my ability or interest in DIY (I also design and sell electronics).

Don’t worry too much. I’ve incorporated in AB and BC. Neither is difficult to setup or maintain. My regulatory burden amounts to about one weekend of effort per year including corporate tax filings. That’s a baseline. Harder if you employ a team (not just subcontractors) or in regulated industries where you might have environmental compliance or similar.

I bought the first AMD Framework 13 at launch. It just works and I’d buy it again.

To me their software story is compelling. To use the wording of the article, I like that I can be a weirdo running Linux on a laptop and not be a fringe use case. I had no interest in either of their supported distros but their support forums had the necessary hints needed to get a different distro up and running (plugging in newer firmware from the Linux kernel git).

I like that they’ve given some support to the FreeBSD community and I’d like to run that on a future Framework.
