Some places you can commute with transit and some places you cannot. The original thread was making the statement that you could not commute in the US without a car.

I would move to somewhere closer? Even when I regularly drove I would move, take a different job, etc instead of dealing with a long commute. To me it's just not worth it.

You say obviously but the original thread was started by someone who made a blanket statement about the US. There are millions of people in the US who commute without a car. I was curious and looked up some data: https://data.census.gov/table/ACSST1Y2018.S0801?q=S0801:+COMMUTING+CHARACTERISTICS+BY+SEX&hidePreview=true

• 85.3% commute by car
• 9.3% commute by other means
• the rest WFH

I would even argue that some of that 85% could switch to transit with very little effort. But as the OP stated, I think there is a cultural aversion to transit in the US. So there's some of that 85% who could use transit but choose not to.

I moved from the suburbs to the city. I sacrificed a bit of living space and have higher rent. But the increased rent is offset by the lack of car payments, insurance, etc.

Everyone's situation is different and not everyone has the flexibility to move. But there are many cities in the US that are affordable and have decent transit. Just depends on what you value.

To their credit, they released a tool to patch the bios yourself. Which is about all they can do in case they stop existing. https://github.com/DeckHD/BiosMaker

As far as I'm aware, the Chromecast 4K does not support AV1. The newer Chromecast TV does but does not support 4K. So atm you have to pick between 4K or AV1.

I don't really disagree with any of this, I'm just saying at-will is a bi-directional street, which I haven't really seen mentioned in this thread. Being able to quit at any time is technically a right that benefits the worker.

Now in practicality does this benefit most people? No.

Valve has switched the adhesive they use on the battery since launch. > “We have rolled in a change to the geometry of the adhesive, making the battery easier to loosen,” says Yang. Hopefully, that new shape should make it easier to pry. Source

Yep, moved to a transit hub in the city. No longer have a car. I just use public transit, bike, and on the rare occasion, ride share.

I started using an app called Transit instead of just google maps. While searching for businesses is worse, the information and details about public transit is better. You can even buy tickets directly through it, very useful compared to downloading a new app every time I'm in a new city.

You can use about any laptop with Linux. I would say take a current laptop and boot into a distro using a live usb. This will let you try it without installing it. You do occasionally run into issues with some hardware: fingerprint, wifi, trackpad, etc. So this is a good test.

But otherwise if you want a laptop that guarantees Linux support: Framework, System76, Tuxedo

I can play Quake II RTX on my 6900XT just fine (with dynamic resolution scaling). I think new games are going to be hit and miss until the drivers mature.
