Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

That's not fair! I care! A lot!

Just had to buy a new laptop for new place of employment. It took real time, effort, and care, but I've finally found a recent laptop matching my hardware requirements and sense of aesthetics at a reasonable price, without that hideous copilot button :)

Which laptop did you buy if you don't mind sharing?

Decided on this:

Still had some issues under Linux / NixOS a couple of weeks ago (hardware-wise everything worked; but specific programs, esp. Librewolf, will randomly start eating CPU and battery out of nowhere, with what looks like noops. Haven't investigated further, yet.

I really wanted to like that laptop but the screen is so incredibly glossy that unless you're in a totally dark room it becomes a mirror.

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 3 points 2 months ago

I think it's a matter of preference. Haven't noticed the screen being a mirror yet, but then again I feel like any even mildly matte screen looks like it's being viewed through a veil...

I am a bit worried/curious about how the oled will deal with my very static waybars though, lol
