Obviously all the Cool Kidz use second hand ThinkPads running Linux.
I'm after a cheap daily driver having always been in Mac (well also Asahi and the server this Social Media Conglomerate runs on).
Any tips or models to look out for? Ideally I want something less than £200. Well I say ideally, I can barely afford £200!
Anyway, help/advice appreciated.

I suppose the prospect of US factories with hundreds of people using tiny screwdrivers was too much for MAGA Americans...?
"The U.S. CBP listed 20 product categories, including the very broad 8471 code for all computers, laptops, disc drives and automatic data processing. It also included semiconductor devices, equipment, memory chips and flat panel displays."
Ahem: No mention of reason why.

I messed up the last poll so here it is again...
Which desktop operating system do you use? Pick all that you use REGULARLY.
In case you forgot about Microsoft Recall, it looks like it will reappear in your Copilot+ computer soon running Windows 11.
I am sure you are all thrilled with the idea of a screenshot being taken of your screen every 3 seconds, right?
#question #didyouknow #todayilearned #til
Windows is reinstating Recall,
Snapshots of screen saved every 3 seconds and fed to AI.
Previously introduced in May, 2024 to some backlash.
(...)"a gold mine for malicious insiders, criminals, or nation-state spies if they managed to gain even brief administrative access to a Windows device."
(...)"nothing stopping Recall from preserving sensitive disappearing content sent through privacy-protecting messengers such as Signal."
(...)"Windows 11 Build 26100.3902 preview version. Over time, the feature will be rolled out more broadly."
(...)"That would indiscriminately hoover up all kinds of User A's sensitive material, including photos, passwords, medical conditions, and encrypted videos and messages."
(...)"That level of detailed archival material will undoubtedly be subject to subpoena by lawyers and governments."
etc. etc.
Yeah...
Which desktop operating system do you use?
Edit: use the new poll! https://mastodon.social/@dylancode/114323916948583184
Let’s be real—a 60% success rate is a generous attribution for technology.
Especially software.
It usually breaks right after you brag about it.
Make your escape key easier to reach by swapping your escape and caps lock keys! This is especially useful for Vim and Neovim editing!
If you use Linux with the X window system, just run this command on startup:
``` sh
setxkbmap -option caps:swapescape
```
