Murrican laptop disposal
Please, for the love of whatever deity you pray to, **DO NOT** shoot your laptop when you're done with it! You have no idea where the battery is, it's a huge hidden target you _will_ hit & set on fire, & lithium fires are no joke! It's not a matter of if but when it catches fire.
Adding insult to your gunshot injury, the data you're _trying_ to destroy is a tiny hidden target you will _miss!_
So congrats on starting a delayed fire that can be traced back to you.
My kingdom for a “netbook” size machine with a hi-dpi screen and decent Linux support. It would be little more than a text terminal for me, so the “netbook” ideals fit: cheap, a bit underpowered, big enough to type on but no bigger, absurd battery life.
We were on this path, but Chromebooks sucked the air out of the room
@earthshine I spent days wondering how anyone would even find this waste of paper, let alone decide to buy it, but lo and behold they're buying YouTube sponsorships, and a channel I sometimes watched until now sold a slot.
news re: Afroman vs cops
So, you may have heard of Afroman.

Well, the cops decided to fuck with him and his kids.

And then the cops *sued him,* claiming ~3.9 million dollars for pain and suffering. *When they started this shit.*
He just won.
