> They could gain a shedload of market share by...

... having end user replaceable DDR5 RAM and end user replaceable storage. Even if it is a low end underpowered laptop.

Not everyone needs to render 8K videos in 5 minutes.

Back when I designed phones, there was a minimum order of 50K units before an OEM would talk to you, and even then, they usually had a like-unit already in the production pipeline so they wouldn't have to retool everything.

I use GnuPG daily and mandate that everyone in our organization do the same. As part of the onboarding process, I have a doc explaining how to install GnuPG, generate keys and how to share their public key in a specific place in our network.

Once you force people to do it, it is not terrible once they get the hang of it.

> Easy

vbezhenar, this is your grandmother. I just got an email from you with a bunch of gobbledygook and I can't read it. /s

If it were that easy, everyone would be doing it.

I'm just a little bit older, and have to work a little longer due to some personal things.

But, as it stands today, I rarely touch any tech outside of work. Heck, I seldom ever bring my cell phone outside the home.

I long for the day, I can close my laptop lid and not open it again.

The real joke is the "Obama Phone" meme from back in the day, is from the Lifeline project that was started by Reagan.

It's funny to see how all the history has been scrubbed from the Wikipedia entry.

Star Wars debuted 37 years after World War II

Star Wars debuted 49 years from now

Can I finally find a cosmoline packed Jeep in the original crate for $50? /s

I wish I had jumped on those offers back when they were in the back of Boys Life, Popular Mechanics, and SOF magazines back in the day.

No doubt. I found a Fellow Ode cheap, and upgraded to the Gen 2 burrs. My coffee went from a little better than 2 am truck stop coffee, to something better than you can get at a cafe.

I am using a Breville precision brewer, but would love to upgrade to a Moccamaster one day.

The last time I built my own GPS network, I used a sextant, a watch set to UTC and nautical tables to determine where the orbiting bodies were.

Depending on your model or version, it's not hard.

I'm rocking a newer Paperwhite Special Edition, with KOreader installed.

And it is faster than the internet. That's why high speed traders are starting to use HF.
