It’s also impossibly hard to get fired from a government position if you show up and at least put up the appearance of working. So she definitely was an insufferable something or other.

LXIX my balls! Haha got’em.

Believe it or not, this is the second time I got to make that joke within an hour.

You set it free in it’s natural habitat

I’m using an asus e200ha, which is basically a Chromebook from 2016 but without chromeos, or whatever it’s called. It barely works, has 32 gb of emmc storage (that’s right, as much storage as mid-tier computers have RAM). I’ve been ready for an upgrade for years.

What’s wild, is it’s actually been getting steadily faster and more useful as it gets older, because all the issues it had in it’s younger years are all getting fixed in the Linux kernel.

My biggest gripe about non replaceable components is the chance that they’ll fail. I’ve had pretty much every component die on me at some point. If it’s replaceable it’s fine because you just get a new component, but if it isn’t you now have an expensive brick.

I will admit that I haven’t had anything fail recently like in the past, I have a feeling the capacitor plague of the early 2000s influenced my opinion on replaceable parts.

I also don’t fall in the category of people that need soldered components in order to meet their demands, I’m happy with raspberry pis and used business PCs.
