If you want stability I don’t think you can beat Debian. If you want easy, compatible graphics go with integrated or AMD. If you want good battery life get a recent model with a modern CPU architecture. My thinkpad running Debian ticks all these boxes. It goes for 8+ hours and it isn’t even the model with the wattiest battery.
So how do you propose to address the inevitable vulnerabilities in firmware that hasn’t been updated? A tech must be physically present to flip the switch before updating?
I would say they should have only deleted the data that was found to be illegal, but if that data was all over the place... I find it hard to sympathize.
I often think old GUIs have a nice, functional look to them. This one is no exception. I notice (what I assume is) the shuffle toggle looks unfamiliar. This is from way back before that UI became a convention! I see the repeat icon has stuck around. So interesting!
I, too, was in the navy and supervised this very exercise on a ship. The exercise simulates a doomsday scenario that presumes satellite comms are out after a nuclear strike. Ships and other stations retransmit the messages over HF in order to eventually reach nuclear-armed subs for assured second strike capability. HF, with its semi-BLOS (beyond line of sight) range, is used to form a global communications network without satellites. The range of course depends on how much signal bounces off the atmosphere, which is why many stations are needed for redundancy. The whole exercise is Top Secret.
Although obviously unserious, I would argue a baby harness is mostly the opposite of what an agent harness does. A baby harness constrains and contains the baby, while an agent harness controls but also empowers the agent.
If you have Fastmail configured to send from that domain as well, it will automatically reply from the same address the email was sent to. You can pick which address to send from, of those you have set up.
