  • I’ve been fond of the HP Elitebook series; not the strongest powered of things but fairly easy to replace things like the battery, fan, or keyboard (in one of the worst streaks I’ve ever had in owning a computer – I literally cannot think of having done anything like it, before –, I managed to get a sufficient amount of liquid into the keyboard 3 times in the span of, like, 2–3 months; random keys went dead within days of each spill. So I ended up replacing the keyboard three time and that was pretty much all I needed to do. Kept chugging, after each time and entirely usable, still (now that the keyboard’s replaced)).

    If you’re fine with buying an older generation, you can easily grab a used one for no more than $200.









  • I think that’s a huge source of disconnect with Gen Z. I don’t think they ever had a concept of dark humor.

    I mean, I dunno; I think you’re right in the sense that Gen. Z doesn’t do edgy humor nearly as much but they are still known for irony poisoning and I think you get similar outcomes, just (now) with the veneer of there being, really, a truth to what you’re saying.

    “Helen Keller didn’t really do all that” is squarely a Gen. Z “joke” with just as awful implications as dark humor.
