How Would You Spec a Framework 13 for an Educational Use Case?
  • It looks like you're planning on using windows, in which case I would strongly caution against only 8 GB ram. I have a 4 year old windows laptop with 8 GB RAM, and unless you do a lot to optimize things/kill processes it quickly becomes slow to a very frustrating point. The last thing you want is to open a new tab to look up something the professor said while running a note taking app and have the whole thing freeze for a few minutes and not be able to take notes. RAM is relatively cheap, so I would bit the bullet and either get 16 GB or run Linux.

  • Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks
  • For many of those years it was the only electric pickup truck being advertised. And also, yes people do like the Tesla name. Musk and growing competition has done a ton to tank the reputation lately, but until just a couple years ago Tesla was far and away the best and most advanced electric car, and depending on your criteria the most advanced/best car period. Perception shifts slowly outside of well-informed groups, and the Musk hate is really only affecting well-informed left wing groups right now, so a lot of libertarian Musk fanboys are still fully on the Tesla train

  • Biden to ban US sales of Kaspersky software over ties to Russia, source says
  • In all three cases, he can do it as long as Congress gives him that power. In this case it's unlikely Congress will push back on banning Russian software, in the other two the republicans have promised to block any executive effort

  • Fisker reaches end of the road and files for bankruptcy
  • All these dumb companies chasing the wrong high margin class imo. Tesla did it right, start with the sports car: the EV powertrain plays well to its strengths, their big advantageous use case isn't 600 mile road trips, and they don't need to tow. Starting with the mom-mobiles and dad's pavement princess puts you on the worst footing by needing obnoxiously large amounts of the most expensive component, needing to meet road trip or towing standards, and catering to a market that by definition has other big spending priorities, e.g. their kids or whatever they want to tow. If Ford's first electric mustang had been a cobra equivalent rather than a sportier electric escape I suspect they would have had a much better time.

  • Publishers Sue Google over Pirate Sites
  • Because companies mostly don't want the degree to prove skill sets, which is why they don't generally ask for transcripts, just that you have a degree in a somewhat related field. The value of a bachelor's degree to a company is that it proves the applicant is capable of undertaking a ~4 year commitment, achieving a tangible result, and that they pass a threshold competence at navigating beaurocracies and interacting with other humans. The specific skills/experience the company wants are much better assessed using prior experience, interviews, assessments, etc.

  • Paint a vintage bike or just ride it as is?
  • The brakes are probably worse, depending on the bike and how nice a bike you'd compare it to could be quite a bit worse. If you're just riding casually and have foresight it's not going to make or break it though. Oh, and modern shifters are a lot easier, but again not going to be life changing unless you're riding a ton, especially on uneven terrain

  • How much did you pay for your last suit? Was it full bespoke or only adjustments?
  • I got a "bespoke" suit for my wedding a couple years ago for ~$1600 for a 3-piece suit and a shirt. They did the measurements/fabric in-house but the actual making was outsourced to China, then they did final alterations in-house, so it may have been hybrid between bespoke and made to measure for all I know. At least in my area that was pretty cost competitive for all-wool canvased suits (I shopped around a lot), but your mileage and sale timing may vary significantly, as will your priority on natural fibers and canvased vs fused

  • TF2 steam reviews are now down to mostly negative in the past 30 days
  • It is definitely an arms race between better bots and better anti-bot, but part of that paradigm is that it gets more expensive to participate in the race the faster it gets. If valve applied the acceleration even a little bit, the number of bots would at least temporarily be reduced, which would make the player experience astronomically better. No bots whatsoever is unreasonable, but most pubs being 50% bots or more means they can effectively vote-ban anyone and is untenable

  • Romance novels for a beginner with no "impure love drama"
  • Definitely not my genre, but you could try The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion? It's fairly comedic but I think checks all your boxes pretty well, including the last two (maybe not quite hate but definitely don't view each other as romantic prospects)
