<p>Such a bizzare way to respond.<p>Laptop being thinner is a trade off you're willing to make, I am not.<p>Charging a battery with another battery is extremely inefficient.<p>Lugging around laptop batteries is exactly the same thing as lugging around power banks, except laptop batteries don't require a dongle and a cable to tether you to a table.<p>Laptop batteries mean you laptop can continue to in fact work from your lap.</p>

<p>The usual reasoning behind this is to confirm the phone is properly functioning before opening it up.<p>Lots of people try to scam repair shops bringing broken phones in.<p>On top of that repairs can often break fingerprint scanner connections and depending on the screen type its good to check camera functionality after screen replacement.</p>

<p>Pretty much, this comment spawned an entire thread of replies from, most likely, angry white people, complaining about the man who's name was in the title.<p>Not a single one had anything to say about Britanny King or what she had to say to Bret.<p>Got that? The video only briefly touches on Britanys interview with Jordan Peterson, and instead of hearing the black woman's ideas on BLM these psychopaths would rather complain about Jordan Peterson, they don't even realise the interview is barely about him.</p>

<p>> Capitalism is fundamentally about exploiting labour<p>That's a very Marxist view. And no, it's not. Capitalism is fundamentally exploiting the planets resources, mostly hydrocarbons.<p>You can easily pay people a fair market wage and still produce a profit by exploiting the planet or even just market inefficiencies.<p>The Marxist view assumes that if there is profit it should be shared between workers for their labour.<p>This view completely ignores the costs and risks involved with capital expenditures.<p>It also assumes that markets are efficient, they're not.</p>

<p>> Also, everyone just loves watching Intel suffer.<p>This is such a weird fucking statement.<p>Apple literally think they own your hardware after you buy it, and Intel are the evil ones?<p>I don't really do fanboyism, currently own Mac, windows, Linux, Intel, amd, android, iPhone, switch and PlayStation.<p>I just use what I use but I don't get so attached, apple has been lacking for years. M1 is ok but honestly it feels like they've only just caught up to everyone else.</p>

<p>Not really about wasting their time, its about wasting their time at school and the likely drugs theyll take up if it continues long enough.<p>I saw a lot of kids go on to higher education only to mostly waste it. They were there because their parents made them, not because they wanted to be there.<p>I worked for a year before going to uni, after that, I really wanted to be there. Working sucked. I wanted a better job. When I hit uni, I was extremely motivated to learn.</p>

<p>It depends how it goes.<p>If they start wasting their time there I'll take them out, they can work or go to Polytech.<p>If they are using their time wisely they can stay.<p>It really doesn't make much sense to go an alternative route unless you need to.<p>If they're at risk of dropping out and doing more harm than good, get them out of there.</p>

<p>Properly implementing OKRs.<p>Governments are completely run by monetary expenditure.<p>You don't spend all your budget cause you savy? Great, we'll put that money with someone else next year.<p>Spend all your money on junk? Great we'll give you more money next year because you clearly need it.<p>What needs to happen is to decouple monetary spend from incentives.<p>Incentivise saving money and use escape hatches to protect budgets from fluctuations (saving one year might not be recurring, this shouldn't affect your spend next year)</p>
