I actually generally like Asus as well, I pretty much use them exclusively for my motherboards, despite my disappointment with their pricing schemes the past few years. I also have a set of their pro art monitors from a while back still going strong. I will say the recent horror stories of their customer service for pc parts has me a bit concerned but I have been lucky and have never had an issue with their stuff yet. Never tried a video card from them though.

As for tablets in general, reading comics in bed is one of the only things that makes me want to try a tablet again. However, whenever I remember that transformer it just re-ignites my hatred. 😆 One day my rage might subside but until then I'm done with tablets. I've actually considered my next phone to be a folding one to see if that can get the job done for reading comics in bed with the bigger screen.

As a fellow Asus Transformer survivor, I feel your pain! I've never actively hated a piece of tech as much and as fast as that pos. Pretty sure I downloaded that same update that basically made it so slow it transformed it into a paperweight. I have never purchased another tablet after that because it turned me off to the whole idea permanently.

Good! Motherboard prices have been wildly out of control for a while now. Asus selling 1k motherboards when that same tier of motherboard used to top out at 400 bucks max. Let these greedy fucks have their lunch.

Holy shiit that has a name?! Every once in a blue moon, I'll be just sitting minding my own business then BAM! Ass lightning like Thor stabbed me in the ass with a blade that has lightning wrapped around it. Then just as suddenly as it came, it's gone...

I've called it ass lightning for the past few years. At least I know I'm not alone!

Since no one else is doing it... got to be the change you want to see yourself!

I thought the same way but then I went on vacation after a few years using it, and I didn't bring the cpap with me.... Let me tell you, I now bring it with me for any kind of overnight trip. I felt so terrible on my vacation especially right after waking up and my throat hurt so much. I guess in my case it was like how you don't notice your own aging so much because you see yourself everyday, but when you visit a relative after a while they notice a massive diference.

I was not aware of that stuff you linked, appreciate the sources and education. I read through them and damn... 😩 there's always some wacko ruining shit for the rest of us.

I agree that DHH guy sounds like a bigoted nut, but the thing about the Hyprland community being toxic doesn't sound any different to just about any other linux community. There's always some douche wanting to sound superior to others on the forums and usually a lot of them.

Elitest mentality kills just about any community enjoyment for a broad spectrum of intrests. So to me that's just background noise, the DHH thing though... you have a valid concern.

I don't think there is any truly clean competition sadly we seem to live in a world of the lesser evils instead of the lesser goods. I'll keep my eyes out and see if any better options come up, or if you have any recommends on companies to keep in mind.

Exactly, but it still won't get them my money. I believe in rewarding companies who had the balls to listen to their customers first with my dollars. Framework will be my next laptop no matter what any other competitor comes out with.

They're the only reason we're seeing any company starting to u-turn and make modular/repairable laptops.

Read that sentence again, you missed the point being made.
