Got the think pad and used to have the socks, but no Arch. Fedora and Debian for me.

The UI is just AOSP android, simple and ugly (imo) as always. It's not unique in that either, most OEMs have a skin based on AOSP in some way.

As for the app support, I have had very little issues over the past year on GrapheneOS. Aside from some apps being exclusive to the play store (ie they don't host them elsewhere and Aurora doesn't have a copy), I have a pretty seamless experience. And yes, including banking apps.

Tap to pay doesn't work (they're upfront about that) but NFC is still fully features in my experience.

I've seen in newer slapped together constructions where yes, wide enough for two cars but they skimped on depth and the average sedan or larger won't actually fit.

What are you smoking that 32gb of RAM is 09? 32gb is more than enough for most users in 2025, hell 16gb is still quite enough for most use cases.

Most mac users I've known either use the touchpad or MX Master, very few use the magic mouse. And build quality is much better than the equivalent plastic garbage from HP or Dell.

While those are great improvements over fossil fuel based cars, they also exasperate existing issues.

Almost all of these EVs are in the SUV category. These vehicles take up more space on the road and parking lots. This results in less capacity for our road systems causing traffic engineers to incorrectly add more and more lanes to roads. Additionally combined with parking minimums, more and more land is developed into parking lots, which in term increases pollution and increases the heat island effect.

The increased weight and instant torque both causes increased tire dust (as another commenter mentioned) as well as accelerated wear to the roads. The high power figures results in inattentive selfish drivers being able to reach high speeds quickly adding risk for pedestrians.

I understand that the SUV craze existed before EVs were popular however as EVs are normalized it'll only further enforce people buying oversized dangerous sub-4s 0-60 bricks.

 

Hey, I'm having trouble locating a resource to order replacement mouse click caps on my T490.

I replaced my keyboard and accidentally broke the clip on the left click and unfortunately the old keyboard is a slightly different design and thus also does not work.

The combination of key words only have been pulling up replacement keyboards and nipple caps.

Its a tongue in cheek CVE. Crowbar is literally a crowbar. Like.. beat the password or device access from you.

On a secondhand or wiped burner Pixel too. The Crowbar CVE can’t be patched by an OS.

I’ve been using Posteo for a few months now. Have 2 dedicated aliases setup (more than 2 is €0.25 per) with filters effectively making two separate inboxes for them.

It does well, web app sometimes fails over to Deutsch at random, the login cookies are very short lived (good to prevent access from local intrusions), and supports 2FA.
