I want to love the frameworks but the modifiable ports being a slot-in usbc dongle feels like such a cheap hack. Last I checked, the only available Ethernet module still sticks out of the case like a Lego brick

That's my current setup. Only 2 pcie lanes on the nvme though. CPU is feeling a bit long in the tooth for some compiling tasks.

The current t14 with the 16:10 screen and improvements to repairability look good. I'm trying to patiently wait for them to start hitting the used market, but I also recently snapped off one of the two usbc ports on the 480.

> Basically nothing

You might consider providing a more concrete example if you're going to throw shame around. This answer feels emotionally charged and incomplete.

Thank you, this is what I'm driving at. The conversation includes very little discussion of cause or actual treatment beyond symptom mitigation.

Thanks for your detailed response, but the things I listed were entirely in jest. I don't think the uvula causes sleep apnea and don't believe a pill would be able to obviate breathing while sleeping.

This is what I was talking about. The patient has apnea type b. The prognosis remains Bad at Sleeping, use iron lung type b with no alternatives.

Most people have type a and use iron lung type a, there are some treatments for this type but most people opt for the iron lung.

Sleep apnea is strange.

Good news! We have a diagnosis, sleep apnea. You're bad at sleeping now, the thing everybody has to do all night long every day since birth. The solution is to wear a modern iron lung whenever you want or need to sleep forever. Many times it's because people are overweight but you aren't.

Is that really all there is for treatment? No throat exercises or therapeutic sleeping positions? No diets? No botox injections for your uvula or a daily pill to obviate breathing while sleeping?

I recently made a purchase at a friend's small brick and mortar retailer using a credit card. He texted me a couple days later thanking me for the support.

Turns out the shop has a Square cash register, and for cc transactions Square provides any email addresses associated with that card, provided the customer has "opted in".

Similarly, I purchased an air compressor at Lowes a few months back. Lowes has been emailing my wife about the air compressor pretty regularly, as she used that card (mine, not joint) for some online shopping a few months prior. Good thing it wasn't a surprise for her.

Tough to consider Microsoft's shift a permanent one until it survives a CEO change or two.

For me, real commitment from MS means Office for Linux. Instead we have Windows Subsystem Linux.

Absolutely.

The Regolith website puts the full iso front and center (for some reason), but you can also just add the PPA and install one of the `regolith-desktop-*` packages - mostly config with dependencies on gnome, i3, and picom. It easy to drop back to vanilla ubu/gnome when the project goes stale or you find something that doesn't play nicely with tiling WM like Unity editor.

You might like Regolith.

MS office is head and shoulders above Libre on Linux. I'd happily buy it.

Not sure on the effort required. I checked GH (not a Microsoft company...) but couldn't find the source code.

People and organizations can act within their rights and still be detrimental other people, organizations, and communities.
