It really depends on what you use your laptop for. My 2013 MBP lasted 9 years and was how I got my work done. That comes out to 76¢ per day, and I make a fair bit more than that per hour.
But if you’re looking for a personal computer to surf the internet, yes, that could be cost prohibitive. But then it also matters less what device you buy.
As for ports, I’ve never needed a dongle on the 2013 model. I did need one for a USB A drive on the newest model, but this little thing has solved that problem easily. I didn’t even have to buy that since my monitor has USB A ports – I was just too lazy to reach around the back to use it every time. I’m not sure I understand all the complaints about the occasional need for a dongle.

No fucking way! I also thought it was a joke. But tan suits, that’s the real problem.
The appropriate punishment should be as simple as getting voted out of office. The fact that people who do this get re-elected is the result of the bitter, hateful, uninformed constituents who want this type of bigoted legislation and wasted resources. It’s sadly what the majority of people living in Florida want.

Plus, he’s convinced he “doesn’t need the votes” to win, so why give up on any VP pick? If he’s going to push fake electors and sew chaos to win, he doesn’t need popular opinions or people.
Honest question: What free fall? It seems the polls have barely moved beyond the margin of error, even if that subtle shift is in Harris’s favor. Am I missing out on Republicans criticizing Vance? I’ve really only heard it coming from the left.
In all fairness, my usage is still minimal at this point. I’ve only searched a couple of times, but the thing I needed popped right up. Maybe my experience will change over time.
I’ve been an Airmail (Mac) user for many years now. But it’s been really buggy lately and there’s no motivation to fix the issues apparently. So I switched to Thunderbird about a month ago after a lot of research. It’s … ok.
- Search is great.
- Seeing stats/charts on my last 20 years of emails is super interesting.
- Composing emails is not great, but I use a markdown plugin that makes it better … but it’s still pretty bad UX.
- I hate the way it quotes previous emails with “>” for each line instead of an indented block quote. Maybe I’m missing the setting to turn that off.
- I miss having an avatar/icon for each sender. It let me quickly visually scan my inbox for the person I want to talk to instead of parsing through all the text.
- The spacing of elements in certain places is weird and inconsistent. In places where it’s too tight it feels cramped and bothers me.
- You can’t compose a reply inline. You just have to use a floating window on top of the rest of the app.
- I miss the one-key shortcuts to label and archive emails. This was originally a GMail feature and Airmail also implemented it.
- Sending an email doesn’t happen in the background. You have to stare at a progress bar modal while it sends, and it seems to take forever. I just want to move on to my next email but I’m stuck waiting.
- The tabbed interface is really nice. It’s definitely an underrated feature.
- I wish it had super advanced rules like you get with MailMate. But what it offers is fine for 99% of users.
Again, I might be missing some settings to correct some of these issues, so take it all with a grain of salt. But these are my takeaways after about a month of usage.
Damnit Joe! You could have at least waited for the December 16 sentencing. As a first time offender he might have gotten off with a slap on the wrist (depending on the judge) and you wouldn’t look like such a hypocrite for letting him just be sentenced. By acting preemptively, you’re just sending the signal that it doesn’t matter what crimes were committed, he won’t be held accountable. If you’re going to stand on principle for four years, doing nothing to ensure Trump faces consequences, why throw it away at the very end. What a clusterfuck our political system has become.
