As someone who frequents the laptop market, I'll throw in my two-cents.

If you're looking for value, don't compromise on performance, buy refurbished.

While I'm certain it is definitely different from country to country, a refurbished laptop typically has more life to give in them.

I'd recommend business laptops, such as the Dell Latitudes or the Lenovo Thinkpads, but an M1 MacBook Air provides an absolutely shocking amount of performance for the price.

Checking sites like eBay or the pages of hardware resellers rather than big box stores is definitely where I'd go.

I don't see you helping keep the lights on.

For some strange reason, I have a hard time believing this.

Depends on what counts as "winning" and what counts as "right".

One of the best things about lemmy is that I can straight up tell people to kill themselves without instantly receiving a three day ban.

Not that I would ever have a reason to do that...

The data hoooorder

Can I wire them in serial?

I know a few people who use it to covert selections to plain text or keep a quick note. Notepad++ is more akin to an IDE if anything.

For real, what happened? 😅

NPR does that, actually. Their newsletters are the only ones in my inbox that I actually read.

They're not sending their best.
