Will the regulatory body be stacked with, and bribed by auto execs?

You do not understand what you’re talking about.

Listen. We need you to shave another $0.13 off the cost of the unit. Just like, reduce the quality a bit. No end user will ever notice.

It seems that you can only think of value in terms of making a profit. But there is also great value in making something to see what is possible, regardless of profit. If you can’t see that, you’ll never make something innovative. The best a mindset like that can ever achieve is only incremental.

My Surface Pro 4 was getting long in the tooth. My best friend, who uses Arch btw, kept nagging me about switching until he gave me his old laptop when he upgraded. Soon after that, my cat knocked over a beer into it and killed it. So I bought a Framework 13" and put PopOS on it, and also got a Steam Deck. I’m all in on Linux now, except for an old desktop that gets rarely used.

And now I keep my beer on the floor.

Mock them more.

You should all incorporate and buy it.

Better aluminum than plastic.
