It's the final laptop in the same way that Theseus's boat was the last one he ever bought. You can replace bits piecemeal, but at some point you'll end up with enough leftovers for a whole new laptop.

That said, I have an Intel one and it's a fantastic laptop. Also, not only are the motherboards capable of running on their own outside the laptop, but they've partnered with Cooler Master to make little cases for them so you can turn old mobos into mini PCs.

That's reasonable. I pulled that info from Wikipedia, and I don't speak Japanese, so I just was going off that.

That's great and all, but for those of us that do speak English and are expecting certain grammatical norms, eschewing those norms, regardless of the validity of the reason, makes it significantly harder for us to parse.

The question mark is not a rare piece of punctuation, either. It's used in China. It's used in Japan. It's used in Vietnamese, every Romance language I've ever encountered, and every Germanic language I've ever encountered. I'm not saying I understand all those languages, but I can certainly recognize when someone's asking a question in one because the question mark remains the same.

This is a piss-poor excuse and reeks of the attitude of one who's never encountered a language that doesn't use the Latin Alphabet even in passing. Oh yeah, by the way, it's called the Latin Alphabet, not the English Alphabet.

If 1000 satellites is all it takes to "erode the atmosphere" to a point where earth is uninhabitable, we're already fucked a thousand times over.

It was probably shitty coke, but there was at least one time where my buddy said "yo this is some good stuff" and it still didn't do it for me. Who knows if it actually was good stuff, though.

Basically, it was in front of me, and I've got an unfortunate amount of experience kicking stimulant habits (I was an Adderall kid), so I figured I wasn't at any particular risk of getting addicted. I tried it a few more times after that and came to the same conclusion, so at this point I don't think I've touched the stuff in over a year.

Also I was drunk every time someone offered it to me.

You're only saying that because you haven't seen me brew coffee with my buttcheeks.

Cocaine.

Honestly, I don't see what all the fuss is about. To me it feels like coffee, but it only lasts 15 minutes, tastes like shit, and costs upwards of a testicle and a half where I am. And no, I'm not looking for anyone to try and change my mind on that.

I'm not OP. I'm just chiming in with info I gained from selling TVs for several years.

Yeah, but LCDs miss out on the ability to go greyscale to save even more power in emergencies. Due to the way LCD screens work, the same trick would likely increase the amount of power draw it incurs.

The battery life and black levels are always going to be better on an OLED, no matter what you do to the LCD. There's no chance of backlight bleed on OLED screens, either.

Holy shit, it's so easy to make people on this site mad by just responding to their comments. I'm literally just trying to make sense of your shit take.
