I don’t think I’ve seen a cookie banner pop up with a “please reconsider” on refusal … ever, actually. Neat?
I had Debian running on an old clamshell iBook for a bit; the main things I remember were that it was kind of neat, and that it took less cpu to play music from my server via mpd and pulseaudio-over-network than it did to play the files directly on the iBook.

On the subject of cookie banners, https://gdpr.eu/cookies/ says
“To comply with the regulations governing cookies under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive you must […] Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.”
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a site with “withdraw cookie consent” functionality.
The best you can get is that it is as easy to not consent as to consent (and this site doesn’t even accomplish that. Not consenting requires two click, consenting only one)
It’s interesting to remember Apple used to orient the logo so that it was upside down when opened.
That looks right to you as you open the laptop, but wrong to everyone else. Now when you’re in a coffee shop, all the little metal promotional billboards are correct.
Man do I love that old Apple typography, the tall serif'd letters.
I'm sad everything's serifless these days...
The clamshell iBook had one very distinctive disadvantage: when the laptop world had finally arrived at a default display resolution of at least 1024x768, the iBook had an 800x600 display. This forced web designers (in a time before widely supported CSS or even responsive design) to design for the smaller viewport of the iBook instead of being able to take advantage of the higher-res displays of the rest of the world.
