      You know what, I’m gonna say this too even though I’m not that age yet.

      “Why is your rizz so bad?” “Shit sorry I’m 60”

    I hope that orange bastard Trump goes to prison or dies in 2024. I prefer prison because he needs to pay for his crimes, but dead is good too. The only thing is it would have to be a really dumb accident out in public so there wouldn’t be any conspiracy theories. Maybe he could fall off the stairs while getting off his plane and crack his skull on the tarmac.

      People debate whether we landed on the moon - one of the wisest watched televised events ever. I would be surprised if a Livestream of him doing just that would be enough to avoid dozens of conspiracy theories.

      If you want to heal your depression, then your desires are completely out of order…

      Let me renumerate and reorder your list.

      -Understand that desire or lack of fruition is useless pain, you are in control of desire

      -Contemplate why you must escape where you are, where you want to go, why you want to be there, and what you need to do so.

      -Obtain certifications or educational notes as they are needed

      The rest of the list is needless and will fall into place one way or another. Men think they run to a destination, when most often they run from.

        Pretty much all the major brands are reportedly going to make laptop models with the Snapdragon X Elite chip, so any one of those really. I’m probably going to buy a Lenovo one since they have a good track record.

      I’m curious to see how this pans out when they start to ship. The hardware looks really promising, but I’m curious about the rollout for software support.

      I’m excited to see real benchmarks from shipping laptops with off-the-shelf software.

      The hardware isn’t the issue (well, it won’t be much longer) it’s the software that doesn’t exist that is.

        But nobody on the software side will take porting to arm seriously if the hardware doesn’t exist. Some essentials like browsers and the adobe suite got ported to arm already but as soon as there’s an actual audience lots more people will bother putting out arm builds.
