apple build quality is terrible though, if you want your laptop to feel solid you should get an hp or an acer

why is the size of a byte only 8 bits? we'd never have to worry about stoopid multi-byte encodings if it were 32 bits!

so loving spoiled, back in the day the largest byte was 6 bits and people were happy to have it. (the term was coined in the design of the predecessor to the series/360, the ibm stretch, which has bit-level addressing with a variable length "bite", reading/writing between 1 and 6 bits on any read/write).

also make them all colour blind by shooting lasers in their eyes not sure how i'm an ideas guy

you can just install some flux-like software on their computer that permanently simulates color blindness. maybe swap around the type randomly to keep them on their does.
