Indeed.. apple have spent a lot of time engineering their phones so you can't replace parts. Even batteries are coded to the phone.

I can't see them reversing that.

In many countries it is classed as constructive dismissal.

Gallium is discontinued since last year, and not recommended any more.

You might find just the inbuilt linux (crostini) under chromeos is fine.. it's basically debian.

If you want just a linux box you basically start by installing coreboot to turn it into something more like a standard PC. See https://mrchromebox.tech/ - from the looks of that site the Lenovo isn't supported and the Acer is, but needs hardware modification.

Of course there's always the option of just getting a Thinkpad from ebay - really cheap and can run linux out of the box.

zfs-zed, if you haven't installed it already. It will email you after a scrub, or if there's a failure etc.

The canonical way to get loads to follow on mastodon is follow @lisamelton@mastodon.social - she's basically a human version of the algorithm, and will fill your timeline with boosts.

Yes that's a risk, but would you rather have a broken window or be caught in a burning car? More important it still works after a power failure.

Yeah that's more of a problem that people tend to use the emergency release because it's a physical handle and seems familiar. The manual used to even warn against using it (it didn't drop the side window, risking damage.. I think that was fixed a while ago though).

Like the ones on the 3 and Y that are literally the first things the people go for if you haven't told them where the open button is..

I mean, if you're functionally blind, you could argue they're hidden..

The russians are actually pretty good at space.. although a lot of that was due to koralev inventing most of what they use.. soyuz has been extremely successful. So I have no doubt they can get to the moon.. hopefully next time at a speed that doesn't pancake the ship..

They can't even say that.. law trumps contract. I had to look that up for vancouver, but..
