Nah, gimme the dark mode time. Year round.

You joke but it would be an awesome project. Maybe replace the screen with a real LCD, shove an rpi inside etc.

Power delivery is just as likely to to be soldered to the motherboard as it is to be on a daughter board. It just depends on the particular model. This is for just about every brand.

I still prefer lenovos square shaped charger ports over just about any other tbh.

“It is what it is”

I get the sentiment behind it, it’s just usually so defeatist/dismissive of a situation to me.

Nah. Guilt or disappointment to others could lead to the same path. Or if the individual has no friends/family/non-social.

Edit: sorry if this isnt a complete thought it’s a good question

Oh I remember those days. Having to find an extracted windows driver and using ndiswrapper to patch it in.

If it’s any consolation, and maybe just luck, but I almost have better luck with hardware not with windows.

Won’t make much of a difference usually. Worst that may come up is having to import the key from the distro during boot of your flashdrive. Otherwise go through the installer, delete windows or tell installer to wipe the disk and install over windows.

Usually at that scale you create images with all this crap removed. When deployment time comes, the machines are reimaged from local/state IT.

I feel bad for the average home user that, at this point views more ads than content, and all this telemetry collection to boot.

Few years ago I got an mp3 player out of a dollar vending machine. I think it still works to this day. It’s really notuch bigger than the quarters it cost.
