Like most things Microsoft, "gave up after six months" is accurate.

Run Linux, Virtualizise windows or Mac OS be happy.

The cost? You have to research a machine that will run Linux, not everyone can do this. I'm quite happy with my hp zbook is it a mac, no bit it's as close as I can go.

Normal people don't know what half the word in that paragraph mean, you are not the uninformed consumer.

with that said I was blown away by the steamdecks support for AMD's APUs so I was looking for a laptop with the same generation APU to ensure support.

I was looking at framework(too big wants 13-14") dell xps (I don't like the new design)

Then HP released the ZBook Ultra G1a 14" and I brought it on the spot because it lined up before ram went to hell (128GB unified RAM).

They do have an ubuntu image but it's heavily patched, so I was running bleeding edge mesa for a few months and beta kernels for 6 months.

On Gentoo this isn't too bad but it wasn't a turn-key experience.

I used it for some toy projects never ran into "bugs" as in this is just broken, but it's quirky for sure.

I'm so glad we stopped microsoft from shipping a browser with their OS in the 90s, <sarcasm/>.

Regulate them! that is the only way.

Their should be a path for an AOSP build to be just as privileged as a google signed build.

They should have to ask for the ccv every double in billing average.

"it going down will immediately be visible to consumers who will balk"

I am running Linux, but I had to spend a solid month researching laptops before buying, and I didn't get up-streamed webcam support for a year after purchase.

The driver situation is a better but for cheap hardware it's so hit and miss, and when you mention this they shame the user for not knowing better and that isn't their fault.

At least if they buy a mac they know it's going to work otherwise you need to buy a computer that's two years old.

My thought was to write legislation that gives 20% of my generated ad revenue to me the customer as legal tender (no store credit, coupons) then have the government tax that income.

1. government gets new income source.

2. government is invested in making sure they are not getting short changed.

3. failure to pay me is fraud.

4. When you pay me now I know your crap is spying.

5. Government taxes almost never go down, with this system it going down will immediately be visible to consumers who will balk.

Problems: ad revenue is the new shrink-flation without it prices will rise. companies will fight this tooth and nail, but voters get "free" money.

Thus finally the 0F FF believers were rewarded by being give the honor of op code UD0 making it the one and true original invalid opcode permanently disgracing the 0F B9 adherents with the shame of UD1.

Skills still confuse me, why isn't this just a repo with a single md file. why does it need js to load a md file.
