They only produce heat if you're using them. Otherwise they run pretty ambient.

It's wild that you wouldn't want a GPU, since it makes the machine like 50% more capable.

I'm not hunting for whatever comment you think I should be looking for, my guy.

Plenty of laptops have dedicated GPUs, and framework is actually releasing one with a dedicated GPU.

Why would you want a laptop that can do some CPU tasks but falls on its ass when doing GPU tasks? Seems ridiculous to buy a laptop capable of only doing half as many things. Integrated graphics are garbage.

What a weird take. You're acting like everyone is power using their phone on the surface of the sun only.

Um, America? Name any large company and it's America based and tracking you.

Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta..

Meanwhile all of the services I use that do respect my privacy are from other countries like Switzerland, Canada, Sweden..

I have a pellet gun that shoots at like 1500fps.

Cats lucky. If the kid had a powerful one, and didn't hit just the tail, that cat would be dead.

Ok and I'll just crack it like I do with every other windows version.

Once I paid $250 for Windows pro and a month later my licence key stopped working, and Microsoft didn't do shit.

I even bought it directly from them!

Never paid money for Windows since.

Debut and still is garbage.

There's a reason why Apple users have both installed.

Does Apple Maps even have reviews?

I use DDG exclusively now, but I will say, despite the downvotes from these annoying ass FOSS users, DDG is worse.

If I am having some very specific issue with my computer, I will be page 5 on DDG without an answer, but Google will have one page 1.

Also Google Images is light years ahead DDG.

It took a long time to adjust to DDG, but now I am fine with it.

All browsers make it easy. In fact, Chrome on Android is quicker.

Settings > Search Engine > and select which one you want.

Currently you can pick between;

  • Google
  • Yahoo
  • Bing
  • DuckDuckGo
  • Ecosia

That's not the point at all.
