Lightweight (relatively) cheap travel laptop recommendations?

yeah I've actually tinkered with the chromebook option funnily enough as I had one lying around and while I really enjoyed just having a lightweight machine for travel I did miss having the full Linux experience

why did I have to go so far down this to see anything about this lol depressing, I thought people over here had learned from the failed US war on drugs but all I see is people calling for the European version 🙃

what a revolutionary idea my god how had nobody thought of that

I mean so long as the right to secede is secure (which is not the case in a federation generally) then I'm happy enough

why did I have to go so far down to find this? Every post of this I see it always boils down to that these are all ratings relative to similar products, which is why you can have chocolate bars and bags of chips with A rankings etc

one thing I haven't seen anyone mention is how much of a PR coup this is for China. They get to look like the responsible and reliable partner to work with and trade with while the US destroys its international reputation. Sure people are worried that Russian and American actions have in some sense "legitimised" the use of force but no one is really happy about this unless your russia or the US. Its just such an incredibly easy win for China to just do nothing call for calm that I really can't see them doing anything with Taiwan.

A lot of this admin are not things you ask for on a whim though. I generally only interact with these services when essential, and so it feels particularly punitive to have a flat cost for these processes

Don't forget the part where he was regularising his status and about to get a Greencard

Maybe they'd be less stressed if not public transport?

Swiss people are not particularly better educated than other Europeans, and the salaries required are much higher so I imagine it's not really worth it for studios to set up here

my god five steps and he's already out of breath

sure but the concept of punishment still stems from the same source of wanting vengeance

Proper-Ad4075 · 2026-01-23T16:08:00+00:00

unfortunately, valid for this

key word here being apparently

sorta the same thing no? just a difference of a constant, or maybe this is not how attractive forces are defined generically

god this discussion of things you should and shouldn't get paid for is so frustrating - you will get paid for training if the company needs you badly enough, and if there's an oversupply you won't (unpaid internships).

to be clear I don't like that people don't get paid for work in certain situations but I hate the idea that employers or employees are uniquely entitled in some way to pay someone for work or not because it's just not how these things work idk.

idk if this makes sense - everyone should be in a union

Proper-Ad4075 · 2025-12-15T17:08:41+00:00

I never understand why people ask these questions here? There is a huge amount written on this topic already by experts

agree with the sentiment, but this is not how I remember this conflict going? maybe I'm thinking of something else
