No friggen way

I mean only Linux as the product is released with only Linux offered by the company, as in not a choice between Windows and Linux. Linux first by design.

And Lenovo, I saved $100 and the time to setup Ubuntu on my Thinkpad. But I’m picturing something that is Linux only and a major release like a Chromebook or the Steam Deck were/are.

For the education sector and software developer sector these numbers are already met and well exceeded. For the consumer desktop, yes, I think so. I think some big company other than Valve and Google will sell a Linux desktop machine, be it x86 or ARM. When most of the stuff consumers use is through the browser, OEMs clinging to Windows is not going to last forever.

Masking take and permanent marker or pen works too if you don’t have electical tape.

Don’t need to open the case. Hold the soldering iron on the light until light goes out.

I remember having to remove the battery of one of my phones to change the SIM card. It was particularly annoying because that phone/SIM had issues registering so I would have to reinsert the SIM card a few times and reboot each time.

If you have all the pieces still and they’re not broken into tiny pieces then superglue would be your best bet. Get some that is good for ceramic and have a bottle with a fine tip. I just bought some cheap Amazon stuff to do some ceramic repair. Unlike the smooth outside of the cup, the surface of the cracked pieces are rough and porus and makes a great surface for gluing.

You could almost manufacture it based on this image, granted that’s a 1/4" impact bit. All it would take is one bolt being smuggled to their factory or one photograph of a spec sheet.

It depends where you live if you need a VPN or not.
