Great to know, however I don’t ever see myself buying a Windows laptop. A superbly built laptop (and trackpad) running Linux is the grail.

I think the problem is there is no grey area in opinions on Apple. Either they are perfect and pro-privacy and all good (not true), or they are anti-consumer, anti-privacy, anti-user pro-capitalist (again, mostly not true.) Truth is somewhere in between, and judging the product without one of those preconceived notions above is helpful.

For me, I could never use a laptop by another maker because the trackpad on non-Apple devices are (in my experience) absolute garbage.

Apple products are without critique for sure. But if they last 2 or 3 times as long, are they all that anti-consumer? Compared to Windows, are they all that anti-privacy? I suggest you take another look, without your preconceived notions of Apple products.

With the enshittification of the rest of the internet, I’m starting to welcome simple email and rss feeds.

Sounds like what I’ll do. The mods on Reddit were stubbornly against any spoiler warnings. Hoping we could have that here.

If we’re not going to post spoiler warnings, I’m gonna need to block the entire community.

Seems to be what those in most of the US would call a standard size pickup truck. Not “compact” like a Hilux/Tacoma, nor comically oversized like the oft-lifted 3/4 or full-ton trucks.

Calling this truck an “SUV” is very mildly infuriating.
