I have a 12th gen Intel Framework running Arch. I love it, although as others have pointed out the battery life could be better. Early kernels shortly after release had some incompatibility issues that required specific kernel arguments to fix. Also I had to blacklist the light sensor as it conflicted with the brightness function keys.
The Arch wiki has a page with details on Framework laptops you may appreciate looking at.
Relative to other countries, the US has much more competive industries and space for new entrants to grow. In Canada for instance many industries (banking, grocers, telecom, media, etc.) are each dominated by a handful of uncompetitive companies that exploit consumers.
To be clear I know that the US has this issue too to some extent, but it's better there than elsewhere.
The police literally have 'courtesy cards' they hand out to friends and family to avoid getting them ticketed - that's a practice that absolutely needs to stop.
Yeah I'll agree that on its own it's not a good measure because of situations like this.
Because percent change uses the previous value in the denominator, which here was negative. (2.33- -0.5)/(-0.5) = about -5.66, or -566%. What number do you think would make more sense?
Out of curiosity - what laptop maker is installing Sway by default?
I pay for the Softmaker Office suite, it's pretty good and has Linux native versions.
I had a few false starts before, but MS force-updating me to the objectively worse and user-hostile Windows 8 triggered my latest (and successful) switch.
I switched jobs earlier this year for a 47℅ 'raise' - I'm absolutely loving my new role.
My understanding is that a potential sale of my previous employer fell through because I was basically the brains that developed / maintained the only innovative thing they had done in the past 15 years, and given their lack of investment in anything else there was nothing else of value for the buyer.
Other way around - the AI is writing a letter "from" the daughter to be sent to the athlete. Still BS though, and I'm sure famous people just love getting spam fan mail where the person couldn't be bothered to draft it themself.
Maybe the Republicans should do the same thing then and have Trump stop running.
That's hard for me to answer because I'm usually at home plugged in, and I set the max charge in the bios to only 65% so the battery will physically degrade slower (I don't need the charge). A few hours is really all I can say with any accuracy. Worth noting a few things -
I will say that if long battery life is your #1 concern this may not be the laptop for you.
