People: We want universal healthcare

Capitalism: Best I can do is a useless laptop with rollable screen, full of spyware to feed AI models and ad companies

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Install Linux. No more spyware. And no more AI. At least, not unless you want it. Personally, I've been a Linux user since 2011 and would seriously recommend using Linux Mint. It's stupid simple and just works really well.

I wouldn't bet on that screen having Linux drivers right away.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

True. I'd give it a year or two. At least enough time for it to become somewhat more common for them to exist.

Or enough time for everyone to realize, "Why did we need this?" And go away forever.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

That too

I just use free software man

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I don't blame you because I do as much as I can myself.

Only use case that made me reconsider is somebody said it could be helpful for certain disabilities. I don't recall which, but if this is something that sells a few units for people with accessibility needs, then who am I to reject it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I fail to understand what disabilities this could help with

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Okay.

The display can get longer when dealing with porn?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I know, why? But looks cool though

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It looks cool, but I'm worried about durability. It doesn't even make the screen that much bigger.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I agree on durability concerns, but it did double the height of the display. Not sure how much bigger you're expecting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Cool but what about laptops that come with more than 2gb of ram for chrissakes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Hm looks terrible
