EUCs are self-balancing. They also can have amazing suspension and an excellent performance envelope.

Why does this not have 1200+ points? Sometimes people need to be reminded of the fundamentals!

>most people are not influencers.

Perhaps, but many are. They just don't have much reach or don't use a digital platform.

I don't understand the UX complaints? I thought we needed to re-wild the web and do more weird shit when we feel like it?

I happen to heartily agree with you but now we're talking taste and... yeah.

Adblock should be mandatory. Just like bug repellent and sunscreen.

“real men do not need protection against sun and bugs”

- my Dad :)

He probably meant “real men do not use protection against sons”.

or perhaps "real men do not use protection hence sons"

I take your dad is not from the tropics LOL

“real men look at the SUN during eclipse”

- also my Dad commenting on DJT…

I think you're taking this too far. First off, limiting screen time and access to feeds while making sure kids are socialized is generally a good thing regardless of where they decide to go in life. Computers that make things a bit 'harder' help stave off mindless consumption of content without being oppressive.

Arguably you could just put your kids in a high-end private school with other well socialized children who have had significant sums of money invested in their development and haven't even been pacified with tech out of parental laziness/necessity but hey, whatever works...

Secondly, providing a linux based computer or old windows as an intro to technology has one very basic benefit. It teaches mindful interaction with technology. These things are tools. Regardless of how hard many companies try, computers (smartphone, tablet or desktop) remain machines that do exactly what we ask them when you ask them to do it and internalizing this at a young age builds stronger humans.

Out of curiosity, roughly where are you from?

South India

Well said.
