Every time I review any #Linux hardware on the channel, I always get asked « where the affordable options are », so here are 2 #laptops from @slimbook, the « Elemental » line.
They start under 550€, or under 500€ if you don’t have to pay VAT, and they actually give you a really solid device for the cost:
Is it worth mentioning, in this context, Minifree as a supplier of linux laptops? They also sell *BSD laptops too. That's not even their USP, which is that they use (and indeed develop) libreboot - a FOSS BIOS for improved security.
Me: I'd like a reliable laptop with good battery life, lets me get my work done, which I can load all the tools I need... no shoving ads in my face, channeling my data for advertising, trying to sell me things, and not locking me into hardware.
The new @tuxedocomputers laptop has been setup and done it’s first full work day. What an amazing little machine. It packs a punch 🥊 and I’m amazed over the great battery time. Well done. #linux#laptops
Saw this on a Costco ad. Word of advice: DO NOT BUY laptops from this particular company.We did two years ago, and the one we have will not accept third party battery replacements (will not power up the machine with a third party battery), and the company DOES NOT sell replacement batteries. Yes, this is the same one with draconian printer cartridge restrictions. #shopping#advice#laptops
Seit vergangener Woche fehlen zwei #Laptops mit mehr als 700.000 E-Mails zu der CumEx-Affäre, in die der deutsche Bundeskanzler verwickelt ist.
Wieso liegen die Mails nur auf den Laptops? Wieso gibt es von diesen Laptops keine Images?
Gibt es in Deutschland wirklich keine digital-ForensikerInnen oder ist das bewusste Inkompetenz?
With Snapdragon now teasing at their desktop/laptop chips, everybody is getting all riled up about "Oh, if only Microsoft could now fix Windows on Arm!" and nobody even seems to remember that Linux on Arm is 👌🤌! The world is ready for Arm PCs, just nobody realizes it 😡
We have #laptops that are #preassembled and ready for shipment within #48hours and therefore cannot be configured.
Take a look at our #prebuilts right away - order and receive them as soon as possible!
#Computer errors 🐞 from #OuterSpace from a vote-counting machine that added thousands of non-existent votes to a candidate's tally, to a commercial #airliner ✈️ that suddenly dropped hundreds of feet mid-flight ⤵️, injuring dozens of passengers. A pacemaker's ❤️ built-in computer data got corrupted mid-flight. A group of researchers investigated more than 2,000 bit errors logged by a #satellite 🛰️ over roughly two years in #orbit. A huge number of the errors were clustered in an area called the South Atlantic Anomaly. According to #Nasa, #astronauts 👨🚀 on the #SpaceShuttle used to notice that their #laptops 💻 sometimes crashed when the space shuttle passed through the #SAAhttps://www.bbc.com/future/article/20221011-how-space-weather-causes-computer-errors
