- Comment on Seagate just unleashed 44TB hard drives 1 week ago:
The datasheets are public. WD and Toshiba has their own consumer hard drives. Check the Mean Time Between Failures, Read Errors per Bits Read, and Power On Hours per Year rows for them. The consumer ones usually have at most half of the values compared to the enterprise counterparts.

Usually all ThinkPads work mostly the same regarding Linux support (bar the usual Nvidia driver shenanigans if you ever trip that), but I’d be concerned about the E-series themselves. If you want a cheaper than T-series ThinkPad you should get an L-series one. Not as expensive as the T-ones, but still retains some usable chassis durability, double replaceable memory slots, replaceable keyboard, etc.
I’ve started calling the E-series as E-waste. - Comment on House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to investigate Wikipedia over allegations of organized bias 6 months ago:

wordpress.org = the foundation making the software wordpress.com = the company (well, its parent, Automattic) paying the WP foundation, offering paid managed WP hosting WP Engine = a third party company, just plainly offering plain managed WP hosting
