Bought a Yoga Pro 7 7840HS 32GB 1TB. Everything works fine in Linux. Battery does 8-10h on full charge, good build quality, no issues with any parts. Running EndeavourOS after had some minor issues with Manjaro, WiFi connecting 1 minute after booting and some weird disconnects after a while. No such thing in EndeavourOS.

Running idle with minimum brightness, Bluetooth off, WiFi connected and keyboard backlight turned off consumes minimum 3.6W. Got it less than $900 around 4 months ago.

Add some bacon and marshmallows and your 5 a day is complete.

Friend, you seem to be going through a tough time. Maybe you should seek professional help. Best of luck

Given the diversity of 50+ states, find me one that values human life of fellow state members with centrally provided healthcare so they’re not left to choose between bankruptcy or life, views education as a public good and access to it has a low barrier to access it, doesn’t have for-profit prisons or has a network of public transport infrastructure that relies on a system of trains or trams?

My country had wars with it’s neighbours from single digit centuries. Comparing differences in Europe to the US states is like comparing McDonald’s differences with local cuisine refined over centuries.

With so many differences where can I find social values that are comfortable with pederasty as in ancient Greece?

Knowledge is almost free nowadays. Reading history of countries offers a fascinating perspective of how we got here. For better or worse, the US is pretty homogenous in its value system, religious beliefs, political beliefs and language.

Two main benefits/“public goods” from having your lives in a societal arrangement:

1. Having an educated population allows overall advancements that wouldn’t be possible where education standards are low. If the protestant dogma of “work hard and you’ll get salvation” was still prevalent in all groups we’d still be chiseling stones as that is real manly work. Intellectuality is still mostly frowned upon in the US. The whole purpose is to work less and enjoy living as the benefit of having basic needs solved for. Access to free education has plenty of positive externalities that we aren’t even able to quantify. Would the US still be engrossed in its culture wars or other wars?
2. Having a healthy population allows a sense of group and care for a country. Belonging to a country should mean that your fellow countrymen have your back in time of need. Father time comes for us all. How unpatriotic it is that people proudly wave their flags whilst letting their own fellow countrymen die from preventable causes or having to face choices such as living longer and getting bankrupt or let sickness fester until perishing. Not having free healthcare from an outside perspective is as unpatriotic as you could get.

The US seems a prime example of too much emphasis on GDP and limited focus on quality of life. I’d rather be homeless in Cuba than in the US albeit all wealth and quality of life indicators are better in the US.

Why stop at internet, stop using keyboards as they’re used to cause so much harm. And pen and paper, so much harm has been done by letters, books, messages. Slippery slope.

Internet is a tool. You can whitelist content to suit your needs rather than allow the floodgates of ad tech play with your mind. I remember the days before the internet. Bureaucracy galore, queuing for basic services, relying on the whims of some individual to get simple actions performed. It wasn’t fun. With today’s low attention span and low tolerance for boredom most people would have a mental breakdown.

It had more slow motion scenes than an Indian action movie. Shallow and cliché dialogue ripping off from the star wars universe. Snyder was plastered all over the credits. If this isn’t his cut then take the damn name off the credits. No matter how you cut it it’ll have the same actors, storyline, dialogue depth and in-your-face visuals. Snyder really is a subtle and sophisticated guy.

Been using Neo Launcher since Nova sold out. Yes, it can format icon shapes.
