[Question] If you were buying a well-supported, software-developer #Linux laptop for work, paid for by the company, either in the UK or the USA, what would you buy?

🤔

(pls share for eyeballs and opinions)

@Linux_in_a_Bit @popey @system76 is not "a Clevo rebrand." Clevo is their ODM. System76 works with Clevo to design a system, but Clevo keeps the rights to ship the hardware themselves. The firmware is also going to be very different, since Clevo is targeting Windows users. And obviously you can't get System76 support for Clevo boxes.

System76 was working on an in-house laptop design, but afaict it has stalled out.

Since the #xz incident started, I've been maintaining an FAQ/living document on what we know at gist.github.com/thesamesam/223.

I think most people in my extended circle either already seen it but posting about it given there's likely to be a lot more questions as we go into the working week.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed tips, suggestions, and edits. Thanks especially to @cadey who has helped a lot with editing.

This is the best timeline I've seen so far on what we know about the Xz backdoor. Some good info here for researchers: boehs.org/node/everything-i-kn

@KeithDJohnson Seems like pretty normal American units to me.

My story about how telematics data from people's cars unexpectedly raised their insurance rates is on the front page today...

nytimes.com/2024/03/11/technol

... and this is where it started: me lurking on car forums and seeing comments like this.

If this story doesn't convince lawmakers we need a strong federal privacy law, I'm not sure what will.

@grolmori Sogar "Bahnhof" würde ich nicht verstehen.

@ninawillburger I see that pigeons were as obnoxious back then as they are now.
