IMO, Chromebooks of today are like netbooks were - you can get a good one, but at that point you might as well buy something that isn’t a glorified web browser. I’m probably jaded from the lovely Chromebooks my son’s school distribute, though. The things are built like they’re Happy Meal toys and as responsive as a patient coding on an operating table. Every time I use one I can’t help but think that I’d rather be using my laptop from 2004.

Sony shouldn't have stopped making laptops. Vaios were much cooler looking than most laptops we have today. e: apparently they're their own company now...but i still never see them in any stores, physical or internet.

The IT department would probably want to fire me for asking this, but why doesn't linux set the memory limits to be unlimited by default? We're doing a computer, why would we ever want limits? Just do it and if there's a problem let me sort it out.

yeah I eat rear end posted:They don't have guns though. If they had invented gunpowder and metal working would they still be animals? They have however survived in almost the same form for a very long time, longer than the dinosaurs ever did. Now they just have to survive a bit longer, like a few hundred years tops, until human civilization has suicided and the survivors return to being apes, and they can go back to being top dog in their watery realm.

It's always amusing to me what a mirror that question is 'Would you meet someone offline who you met online?' if it's a resounding no out of fear that they'd be bad and annoying, that person is universally unpleasant to be around. If it's a 'yeah sure, it's just a person' then that person is always just a regular cool person to hang out with.

There’s this lack of realization that the other party is ALSO meeting someone from online, offline and you’re projecting this idea of yourself being boring, dull, or socially awkward in person. Like, hell, the online people I met IRL, I already had a good time talking to, which is an advantage the friends I met offline never had.

I don’t get how that is hard to understand. Captain Monkey posted:Exactly! It's always been a chill experience, even if there's a little social awkwardness at first. Eh, it’s just like meeting someone offline, there’s always something you notice to kick off a conversation even if it’s completely banal like work or the weather. poo poo, I met my last girlfriend on tinder, she had no bio outside of being an ecologist, and when she asked what’s up I told her I was trying to find where the smell of dead thing coming from under my work trailer was.

That’s not even on the same ballpark of smug, and I say that as someone whose mom once shut up a barful of people by caber tossing a small telephone pole.

Is it unpopular to say someone should take the northern europeans down a peg? Insufferable all of them. West Germany is borderline. The south and east can be my friends. PHUO: the only countries in Western Europe are France, Switzerland, and Ireland.

Unpopular opinion: Northern Europeans are only as smug as they are because they’re trying to cover for all the nazi collaboration that went on, and their history of exploiting the third world for massive profit.
