They plan on starting to make their own laptops but there aren’t many details available. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/system76-shows-off-first-images-of-its-virgo-linux-laptop-design

It's the team that made Wolfenstein so I'd say there's a good chance of it. They're very good at Nazi punching games.

Universal Yums is the one I'd recommend.

Holy shit. I used to work for this company. The CEO is the definition of Florida Man and treats his employees like shit. I guarantee he got high and put this together himself. Everyone should avoid giving them money (their competitors are better anyway).

I really hope this happens. In addition to the safety improvements, it could mean the Amtrak becomes viable for long distance travel. My trip from Denver to Seattle was scheduled for 3 days but ended up taking 5. Some of it was caused by snow on the tracks, but the majority of the delays were from the BNSF and UP trains forcing the passenger trains to stop until they passed. Amtrak doesn't own the rails so they don't get priority. Just from Sacramento to Seattle there were two to three stops of 1-2 hours each.

It's a shame too because the views in some areas were incredible and everything else about traveling by train is a much better experience than flying.

I’ve had really good experiences with PS5 DualSense controllers. They connect via Bluetooth or USB-C and have official support for the Linux kernel. The touchpad also works as a mouse out of the box which is really convenient.

The Wizard of the Crow is a book I picked up randomly at a used bookstore and it ended up being an all time favorite. It gets into some pretty heavy topics but some well placed humor keeps it from being overwhelming.

Still using a 14 year old Panasonic plasma TV in the living room and I dread the day that I have to replace it.
