Yes! At least Reachy can be run fully offline so don’t see why Ducky can’t

Untrue to say they don’t last, our M1 macs 6 years later are still very usable. However your point is very true for corporates, staff always want a refresh regardless if the laptop is good enough or not.

These personal plans make sense for people who want the latest and don’t like the hassle of reselling

When will the executives face criminal trial too?

“ The seven members of eBay’s security team were all criminally charged and sentenced to prison, home confinement or time served.

Other executives went on to other corporate jobs. Wymer and Wenig left eBay in September 2019, before the charges were filed. The following year, Wymer was appointed chief of the non-profit Boys and Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley. Wenig has been on General Motors’ board since 2018 and now runs an AI start-up. Jones remained at eBay until 2020 and now sits on Prudential Financial’s board.

The Steiners sued the trio and other former executives along with the company in the case that led to the $56mn payout. Under the terms of the settlement, Wenig agreed to pay $2mn, Jones must contribute $500,000 and Wymer $50,000, according to the pair’s lawyers.”

Yes hybrid approaches are much better than people realise.

There are a lot of optimisations that are not in the public sphere, source working on start up in this space

Did similar. Ordered mini 58mm Bluetooth printer and wrote small service to stream the byteslop as you called it! Worked too well.
