  Except the child slave labor part would go away.

  That’s the neat part, the republicans are trying to repeal child labor laws.

  I hate to say it, but it’s actually quite powerful trash that they produce.

    Yeah, I’m in the process of shifting all of my workflows over to Linux/Android from all-Apple, but my Macs are a huge sticking point. My main computer is an M2 Macbook Air, which is ridiculously quick. I’m basically just waiting for Asahi to gain display port over USB, at which point I’ll ditch macOS. But until then…

    8GB of RAM on a laptop today is f-ing ridiculous.

        My Linux system uses about 1 GB idle and yet I’m glad to have 16 GB - not because I wouldn’t mostly be fine with 8, but because it just keeps more doors open. Can run more demanding programs, more programs simultaneously, can host something in the background, …

      Way more than you need for Facebook and pornhub. 8GB is fine for a low spec laptop.

  My almost five year old piece of under powered apple trash cost me less than 45 US cents a day, still has regular OS updates and works between eight to ten hours most days running my entire life. I might even splurge out and buy a new one if they ever release an overpowered non trash handset…
