I tested mine using my keyfob (which is what I bought it for). Test, for sure, but there are ones that work. Aluminum foil also works.

You can buy faraday wallets for like $20.

Can’t Bolsonaro just catch COVID for the 90th time and die in prison already?

Could preface it with “are you still in the return period for this thing?”.

In 10 yrs when those fridges die and people who “learned their lesson” go to buy a new fridge

That’s more like two years for Samsung fridges, where the designers and builders spend all of their time on fancy horseshit and ignore basic requirements like “keep the food cold”.

Oh come on, he has power, he’s the podcaster-in-chief!

I’ve heard it said that historically when a country or empire starts collapsing, for some reason, the people and government often paradoxically behave in ways that speed up that collapse.

Yeah I mean setting aside the facts that Germany was literally split in half for 40 years after WW2 and governed by outside forces for a time, was basically forced to enact reforms to prevent the elevation of fascists to their government again, and had a thorough set of war crime trials (a process created from the ground up specifically for Germany), they basically just whistled dixie and the world started trusting them again when they elected a different chancellor. /s

It wasn’t “understood”. They all wanted to stand on the dais. They all unbanned him from the platforms. They all threw their weight behind him as a candidate.

They are supporters of his. The whole “boo hoo, I only run a trillion dollar company so I cannot stand up to Trump” is a horse shit ass, bitch ass excuse. These people have more access to wealth, legal help, and other resources than any other people in history. They chose this. Some of them capitulated, and some of them collaborated, but it’s a distinction without a difference in my opinion.

Framework for one, but just about any other computer maker is better by that metric.

Such idiot, very blocked, wow.

Keep apologizing for Tim Apple! 🍏🍎

The turd was just the icing on top of the shit cake dude. They gave that jack off millions of dollars.

I’ve had a solid chuckle seeing that shit, and my opinion of Apple hadn’t moved.

Welp, then I guess you’re the type of customer they fully deserve.

I prefer my to buy computers from companies that aren’t actively combating repairability efforts for their products and purposefully making them prematurely obsolete.

Gotcha, well best of luck to you

You could go used framework as well if any of those exist. You’d have to buy from eBay or something in order to satisfy your position.

I’d recommend the 13 over the 16.

Yeah they probably fed it a bunch of legitimate on/off content as well as stuff from people who used to do make “nudes” from celebrity photos with sheer / skimpy outfits as a creepy hobby.

Yeah, the whole situation sucks. I totally agree and wish that framework would reconsider their position on the matter.

The country is basically unrecognizable at this point IMO. The capitulation that has occurred so quickly in the second Trump term was stunning to behold. For a vast array of industries (computers being one of them), every reasonably ethical option feels like it flew out the window.

I get it, but also if I stopped buying everything from every racist / racist supporter, I would have no real options for laptops generally speaking.

Michael Dell is a complete and total Trump supporter. Should I buy an XPS?

Tim Cook designed and delivered a custom award to Trump. Knowing this, should I buy an Apple?

I understand wanting to vote with your dollars but in practice there are few or no ethical options for many things that you can buy.
