I am a backer of the Librem 5, ordered in 2019. Still waiting on delivery :/

Wish I could a write review of it... but maybe, someday, they will resume shipping?

Same. Exactly.
Used tape cassettes for storage. I liked to play them on our HiFi and annoy my mom.

Then we got an SX-64, which was considered "portable". A few years later we got a 300 baud modem, and I think a 14 inch CRT, and later a KXP-1124 dot matrix printer, and this was back when teachers wouldn't accept book reports that were typed on computers. It had to be from a type writer, just to be fair.

The good old days :)

This, right here. Prepare to rarely, if ever, get a pay out.

Where I used to work, we specialized in converting hospitals from Cerner to www.epic.com. Both systems, however, are massively complicated and use outdated technology. Healthcare Systems in general are an absolute mess, and converting systems takes years to implement.

I'm glad I'm out of that business. Health care records are a mess because implementations are so specific, and with all the hospital acquisitions and mergers, it only gets worse.

Wow, this reminds me of the rantings of Terry Davis who wrote TempleOS TempleOS.

Thank God! Now I don't have to pay for DuckDuckGo anymore. Whew!

1 screens, 2 screens, 10 screens, who cares? I, for one, hate having a TV on with a phone and a laptop. But, my wife does, and I'm OK with that.

Go easy on us aging computer nerds. Once you surpass age 40, 5 years is an acceptable margin of error. >50 yields +/-10 years.

Did I ever tell you about the old 286 I had to program with punch cards? I had to walk uphill (both ways) barefoot on greased linoleum to compile my programs. I still run a BBS on a C=128. 64M of RAM? Try 64K! Get off my lawn you rascals!

I sense your sarcasm.
You don't have to buy Apple laptops. You make a consumer decision to do so. Put your money into laptops with filters if that pleases you.

It's OK, Apple will pass the cost on to the consumer (including the legal fees to defend), just like the car companies markup and pass on the cost for all the safety features they are forced by law to install.

Seriously though, this is freaking frivolous. I will not feel vindicated if Apple loses this, just more affirmed that if I start a company that makes a widget, it will end with more lawyers than widget makers before I sell it.

Today's liberties could be tomorrow's crimes, and law enforcement has a database of future offenders.

Go to the website and fill out and fill out as much garbage info as you can, aside from your address. Just a thought.

I can tell you are humble just by reading your Nick.

It will also make your premium go up. Probably higher than the federal plan. So you will drop your insurance and go with the cheaper one. All the while, private practices and private emergency care facilities will slowly crumble under the price negotiations of the government plan and hospitals will be bombarded with extra patients.

Health care might be more affordable, but quality and timely health care will be more scarce.

Did you hear that they confiscated a child's turkey sandwich in the U.S. because the state inspector deemed it unhealthy? Then they gave her chicken nuggets. Freedom is dead.
