iToddler here. I've MacBook Air 13' 2014 running Xubuntu.
Chassis is kinda cool, touchpad is OK (but nipple is cooler), keyboard is shitty, Acer had better ones, that didn't felt like typing on jello, thermals are shitty for 20W CPU.

So, build quality is solid 9/10
Ergonomics sucks 5/10 at best.
Engineering 10/10 for chassis, 6/10 for electronics with not needed sensors in palmrest, CPU proximity etc, 4/10 for thermals, 8/10 for FAN, that is quite quiet at high airflow...
And 0/10 for serviceability. Take HP, Dell, Lenovo (not even Thinkpad), you will be able to find service manual for laptop, how to replace keyboard, screen, stuff that wear out...
On macbook - you are screwed, keyboard is pain in the ass to replace, PCB is coated with BLAACK so it is difficult to trace traces, and too small for hand soldering SMDs are used. In addition, PCB have sensors nearly everywhere, and if one sensor fails - system underclocks...

And the policy sets forth standards for agents to do an “advanced search,” which involves connecting the device to a computer to retrieve and copy information. Under the rules, advanced searches are allowed only if there is “reasonable suspicion” and “articulable facts” to support it, and with the approval of a supervisor. The standards for more in-depth searches hadn’t been spelled out before. No such standard exists for basic searches.

Learning on freecodecamp.

Got to this challenge: https://www.freecodecamp.org/challenges/build-a-personal-portfolio-webpage

They expect me to build something similar to : https://codepen.io/freeCodeCamp/full/YqLyXB

All I know so far is bootstrap, basic css, html.

Change to the editor view.

What am I looking at within the JS editor on the codepen site? Is this bootstrap?

Also what am I looking at withing the HTML editor? Why are there no tags?

Everything looks so odd. For those that finished the freecodecamp thing, how did you approach this "challenge"?

you looking at JQuery abd bootstrap.

because they are using an HTML pre processor (PUG)

Does anyone else think that Meltdown and Spectre are overhyped? Don't get me wrong, exploits with that much versitality are dangerous, but why should we give a shit if we have good computer practices.

PS: I'm speaking from the perspective of a consumer using a personal computer

Meltdown requires the ability to execute code to be activated, so as long as you don't run suspicious binaries you're fine.

Spectre can get in through your browser and shit, but it still needs to get past ASLR with code execution, again, as long as we don't run suspicious binaries we're fine

IK both exploits are important for cloud computing companies and other high priority targets, but they've already had time to prepare for this.

Also, this.

It's not only a matter of not running malicious code, a malicious actor could purchase hosting on a service and use the malicious code to break out of the virtual machine and gain access to the server and potentially many other machines on the network.

Think about that for a second. Getting access to any website on a host you desire just by paying for a basic hosting plan.

Ultimately, none of the fears are confirmed or disproof yet, so you dont know how far reaching the problems are as well as ramifications from inaction. Or it could be nothing. Point is [eople just simply dont know what the fuck is gonna happen next, and they dont wanna find out - cant afford it - thats why they react the way they did. Yeah both options are shitty, but one is not as shitty as the other so it will do until further. Not knowing fucking suck, especially when your sole purpose is to know.

Its not worth it, there's nothing windows 10 can do that windows 7 can't. The only reason I see to install windows 10 is to use directx 12 because you have a AMD gpu which can benefit from it, if you have a nvidia gpu there is no need for directx 12 because it performs the same as directx 11.

Of course common sense and an ad blocker are a good first line of defense, but what beyond that? What's trustworthy, effective, and not a resource hog?

Like what? You always modify the installation media with the necessary "only for windows 10" drivers needed for the hardware. Example: ryzen usb 3.0 drivers.

It's funny that bill was being a dick but they were doing obviously illegal monopolistic shit.

I don't know if yall are old enough to remember but they integrated the web browser into the operating system to such an extent that you couldn't delete it. You'd go to open the control panel and it'd open the fucking browser.

These decisions shaped the market and cucked everyones expectations to such an extent that you probably don't even realize how fucked up that is. I'm already anticipating your libertarian retarded replies.
