  1. Can't wait for Framework to release their laptops with that. Which has good support for Linux. We're slowly getting to actual 8+ work hours of battery life in non-Apple land too.

  2. For what ? GPUs ?

  3.  @divyanshbhutra5071  You're VERY wrong about upgrading from DDR4 to DDR5. No motherboard laptop or desktop supports that (except some very niche experiments). Only the 12th, 13th and 14th gen Intel CPUs support both DDR4 and DDR5, but not at the same time. And, theoretically motherboards could have slots for both of them, but it's a massive cost that basically nobody would benefit from. So no matter what computer you have, you were locked into DDR4 or DDR5 anyway. The problem is that those 8 GB that are soldered will always be 8 GB. And that dual channel will be meh at best, since you can't have matching sticks of memory. But the dual channel thing is not a gigantic issue. But 8 + 16 GB of RAM, if you take care of that laptop and if it's not built badly, can still last you and can still be usable 10 years after its release. That's not that bad, I'd say. Certainly not enough to warrant it illegal. I do wish they would be taxed slightly more for being closer to e-waste.

  4. I don't use adblockers and never had. And I DO know about them. For me, it's simple: if it's in decent amounts, it's my way of paying for the service. If it's too much (there's some sites which are litered with them) then I simply quit that website, it just doesn't deserve anything. Not having an adblock allows me to see this difference better, while still helping normal websites pay their hosting bill. For YT I have premium for almost a decade, I think. Long before they've gone so insane with ads. Frankly, just knowing how hostile they are with ads, and also knowing other stupid sh!t they've done (like the dislike counter), I am waiting for a platform or way that can have the same reach and interactibility (I do read a lot of comments and write some replies, sometimes I can actually get to some nice micro-conversations) and I think I will jump ship. But it seems that will take some time.
