Why do you react so angrily to disagreement?

Oh look, you're morally bankrupt and stupid. Already knew that, though.

I promise you that letting Jesus into your life will make it better.

Oh, THAT is the specific kind of creeper dipshit you are. I wondered. I do not want or need Jesus to save me from what Jesus is going to do to me (send me to hell) if I don't love him. Your god is the most pathetic abusive substitute for an abusive spouse ever imagined by sad little men.

It's his sister's fault she didn't preserve the key.

It's Mickeysoft's fault they locked the computer for no reason. Locking a normal user's desktop computer (i.e. not one with additional security-related group policy) just because they weren't using it is both user-hostile and pathetic. It gives off strong "Notice me senpai" energy.

There are no heroes in this story, but that goes triple for Microsoft's user-hostile defaults.

That's because for the most part, insurance will cover the loss

Insurance doesn't cover not getting to work. It might help pay for a rental car, but my insurance rental car amount won't completely cover even an econobox, even though I have an employee discount for car rental (my employer has a deal with one of the rental companies.) And even then I still have to wait for a rental car to show up.

It really doesn't matter what you think, what was stolen was worth a fuckton of money,

Anyone transporting a bunch of important data should a) have another copy and b) encrypt it. Does that excuse stealing it? No, but someone not actually trying to steal your data should only be responsible for stealing your HDDs, as intent matters. The value of the data should be irrelevant unless someone intentionally broke in and deleted your only copy. If not having your data leaked is important, you should be encrypting that data.

N150 is plenty for browsing. I have the AMD competition (Ryzen 7 5825U) and it is absolutely fine. The AMD chip has a lot more GPU, but it's still not enough for gaming really. Like, I could turn down the settings enough in Civ VI to make it playable, but not to have it look good at the same time. And that's a strategy game! Action games are hopeless unless they are quite old.

But this PC isn't being sold for gaming, its whole purpose is... well, to make money with bullshit marketing really, but it's meant to lurk in the background. You're not supposed to be using the console. Therefore the abject lack of GPU performance is irrelevant. The CPU power isn't going to set any records, but it's fine for any normal tasks.

The actually important part of what it's not powerful enough for is running local models. It doesn't have enough RAM and it doesn't have enough CPU. What you want for that is probably a Ryzen AI chip and at least 32GB. Some models run pretty well on a reasonably fast CPU without any LLM-specific features. I have a 5900X desktop with 64GB and a 4060Ti 16GB, and models run around 0.7x speed on the CPU compared to the GPU.

An AMD Ryzen AI HX 470 MiniPC with 32GB and 1TB is over $1000. Even with Ryzen AI 5 340 it's $750. So you're not getting the ability to run local models for this kind of money.

At one point even Musk realised it.

Then he found out Tesla could dodge a whole bunch of liability by driving into things and turning off autopilot less than a second before impact, then claiming that autopilot was not on at the time of the collision. If it was on until less than a human reaction time before the collision, it was on at the time of collision.

I literally won't get into a Tesla with alleged FSD. Other people can be that close to that experiment. It's bad enough I have to be on the roads with them.
