Why on Earth would they make it Nvidia exclusive given how thoroughly that company has screwed the pooch on open source drivers and consequently how dominant AMD has come to be in Linux gaming?

Best part here is that it’s a nonsense statement. Generated electricity is measured in watt hours (be they kilowatt, megawatt, or gigawatt).
Niche, I know, but I’m waiting on full functionality in Input Leap (Barrier fork which was a Synergy 1.x fork). Right now it sounds like it’s 90% of the way there but lacks clipboard sharing. I’m running Wayland on my desktop, but this soft kvm is pretty fundamental to my workflow on my laptop.
Framework machines are great, and certainly upgradeable, but $300 they are most certainly not.
Living downtown typically means a lot more walking, biking, and public transit, precisely because you’re there in the middle of everything. When you’ve got everything from grocery stores, pubs, cafes, parks, cultural attractions, etc all within walking distance, your need to drive anywhere becomes occasional at most.
Remote work forever, and repurpose the useless office buildings into conveniently located downtown living space to help ease housing shortages and drive urban density.
I did this way back in the day on my Mandrake installation with a 1.44" floppy. Only tricky part was that I had to run cp from the floppy instead of from normal $PATH as I’d wiped out /bin.
The important bit not mentioned here is that FW machines are both user serviceable and user upgradable. No need to eat the cost or create the waste of replacing a perfectly good chassis and display, and then sell off the replaced mainboard on the market.
After the Lenovo buyout of IBM’s hardware line, they flexed on the “Pad” branding to try to leverage the well-known and well-respected ThinkPad brand they got in the acquisition. I can’t say much for their other laptops (they’re fine), but I will admit to having been pleasantly surprised at how much they haven’t enshittified the ThinkPad line.
Semi-related: Orks!
In the grim darkness of the 42nd millennium, everyone is scared and miserable and unhappy… except the Orks, who are collectively having the time of their lives, and the nids, who just have a positively cosmic case of the munchies.
Portland or Seattle would for those criteria well as long as you don’t mind rain. Both very progressive cities, weather is generally mild (rarely above 85, rarely below 30, usually less than 2 weeks a year with snow).
