FWIW I have had no issues on a thinkpad for past 10 years running standard linux distros. I think it may come down to a combo of os and particular mb/laptop which is pretty easy to find recommendations.

franktankbank··on I was interviewed by an AI bot for a job
If it was a phone call would you know for sure if it wasn't disclosed? I won't do pre-recorded videos and I won't knowingly interview with an AI ... I don't think, but maybe they'd have more clues about the difference between java and javascript, compatible skillsets for competing technologies etc.
franktankbank··on The MacBook Neo

franktankbank··on Trump's global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court
Can't say one way or another whether the power of the president was abused in this case but its a sad state for businesses who can't get started because of flip flopping policy. I'm for the tarrifs, its absolutely ridiculous to think only Wall Street matters.
