do you buy directly from tongeng? i was always under they assumption that they didn’t sell to individuals.

mine’s on its last legs since i’m such a klutz w it; but it’s a trooper like my tuxedo was.

very true and i’m waiting for them to expand further into their laptops for my next purchase.

when i bought one, they were nothing more than re-badged clevo and tongfeng laptops.

that means that they costed a little bit more than windows based laptops with the same specs; but it also means that there was no headaches with hardware compatibility and that the battery life was better if you chose your hardware correctly. (it’s also smooth sailing if you pay for the support).

i bought from kfocus most recently and it turns out it’s not any different than tuxedo and i suspect that all the linux laptop companies are the same; besides system76 who have started building their own laptops instead of re-badging clevo/tongfeng.

bingo and thank you

exactly what i needed; thank you.

I want x11 over ssh

only in the uto-aztecan dialects. lol

it’s just fedora and, even then, because of ibm’s acquisition of red hat.

money and american hegemony have tried to enshitify linux many times in the past; but linux keeps on chugging along anyways.

i suspect it’ll be a forever thing

apparently: the same goes for its patrons; i’m sure i’m responsible for atleast 1 percentage point. lol

google (along with most of tech) is lousy with isreali interests.

Who else besides Waze can warn me if the police are nearby?!!!

i looked into it and i lost all interest once i realized it had nothing to do with bodily fluids. lol

same here except i didn’t know that there was a 4th; what’s it called?

i get that you’re joking; but i literally got a coupon for equifax’s credit monitoring service when the OPM was hacked back in 2015.

Veronica Explains did a fascinating video on multimedia generation a little while ago.

it’s not exactly what you’re seeking, but my own experiences with going outside the norm with multimedia in linux gets you into niche territory REALLY fast and the best way to find you’re seeking to ask people; so i would ask Veronica if they know anyone who might be able to help.

again, feelings are not facts

i literally just pointed out many instances of the same thing happening outside of china; my point is that it happens everywhere and your feeling that it only happens is china is not reality.

it’s not just the usa; similar actions have happened in the uk and france regarding the genocide and they’ve also punished people for advocating for lgbtq rights in the past.

that feeling that you have regarding repression from countries like china is only a feeling; not reality.
