Matt Gemmell 🏴This piece has been coming for a while, in one form or another. Makes me deeply unhappy to write it. https://mattgemmell.scot/the-fallen-apple/
James Alegría@mattgemmell I’m done purchasing Apple hardware for the foreseeable future. I’m looking to shift toward Linux and European‑owned technology, and I urge others to consider doing the same. It’s time we break our dependence on American tech giants and stop feeding the very monster we helped create.
The Crafty Miss@jamesalegria Have you identified an alternative for laptops that you could suggest? I want to do the same but am struggling to identify suitable alternative hardware
@TheDonsieLass It depends on what your criteria is. For example, I'm in interested in laptops that can be configurable both in hardware and software, such as framework. But they are US owned. There are very few European based manufactures but so far I've found Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 14 and Slimbook Slimbook Evo 14. Lenovo is Chinese, but has factories in Hungary.
@jamesalegria Thank you. A starting point for my own investigation at least
