is your laptop dangerous due to housing a sentient malicious program? no? do you want it to look like it is?

I've updated my SCP-style laptop sticker generator with a new five-armed spiral galaxy design, with such amazing features as:
- looks more evil
- more thematic to the SCP universe
- no longer looks like a swastika at a glance
- now 100% copyright infringement free
- something else i'm sure

Today I learned about a new and improved Pomodoro-technique:

Procastodoro

You first make a 25 Minute break and then try to work on something for at least 5 minutes (and if you happen to get into a flow, you might as well continue)

Is there a way to stop Firefox from asking if I want to "refresh" the browser?

Context: I often run Firefox from a Qubes dispvm which resets the state of the VM every time I restart it, so it things I never actually start it.

I have no been able to find a setting that disables this useless feature.

How expensive is a laptop?


We only buy 2nd hand latops and use them with linux. These come out of leasing and are typically some three or four years old. Not private lease but company office machines.

Office laptops are new more expensuve than consumer products. But they more optimized for energy saving and longer lifetime. Typically they are not fit for falming, they are optimited for office use. Including watching videos and programming.

Here in Germany you can get good pperformance 2nd hand laptops from appr. 250€ upwards.

Be careful fir extras. Docking stations and additional power supplies vary in prive over a long range. But there are many serious dealers, so comparing is simple.

My present laptop now is some 12 years old and (after I upgraded the hdd with a sdd) still has a good performance. But the battery reached the end of its life time. You can still operate it, just net a dc outlet. If you wish you also can simply remove the battery.

Windows normally is a no go, you will need a new Windows licence and go through all this registering nonsense. I use Linux, which on most nowaday's laptops works out of the box (mostly, tbh). Installation problems can easily be solved by asking a linux knowing friend or just asking here.

Linux distributions can be downloaded for free.

The big risk is the price for a replacement battery. These are expensive, but there are big price differences between the different laptop manufacturers. So before buying a 2nd hand laptop have a good look at the prices for batteries. And the avaibility. I have a 22 years old laptop which still runs fine with its first hdd, but there are no batteries available anymore.

„Ein Schäfer geht mit seinen Schafen die Straße entlang. Plötzlich tauchte in einer großen Staubwolke ein nagelneuer Cherokee-Jeep auf und hält direkt neben ihm. Der Fahrer des Jeep, ein junger Mann in Brioni-Anzug, Cerrutti-Schuhen, Ray-Ban-Sonnenbrille und einer YSL-Krawatte, steigt aus und fragt ihn:
»Wenn ich errate, wie viele Schafe Sie haben, bekomme ich dann eines?«
Der Schäfer schaut den jungen Mann an, dann seine friedlich grasenden Schafe und sagt ruhig: »Einverstanden.«
