Place I worked previously did this with Think pads - didn't matter if you primarily used an email client or an IDE, you got the same 32GB RAM/i7/512GB NVMe. They were big enough to be ordering new laptops 50 at a time, and the overhead of having to manage different pools for swaps when things needed fixing or for upgrades wasn't worth it. It only needed to save something like a billable hour a year over the book life of the laptop for it to be worth it

Please tell me they struck a deal with Zack
I mean, if he also wants to take on the costs of doing all the remediation work and ongoing maintenance and surveillance for the rest of time that's probably a good deal for the city
For those interested in how they come up with the impact probabilities and why it's really important that JWST is looking at this, Scott Manley did a great video on this recently: https://youtu.be/Esk1hg2knno
Even if it's at the top end of the predicted range, an impact would be ~40MT equivalent. Enough to level a city, but not an extinction event by any means; plus the likely impact path is across central America, the Atlantic, central Africa and north India - not really regions that have the resources to respond to a threat like this. Personally I'm hoping it misses, because I don't see the counties that could do something about it stepping up right now, so you'd be looking at maybe 100 million people displaced from their homes and an insurmountable humanitarian crisis
What's the bet those filters never get changed either?
Sweet, thanks!

Do you have a link? I've been using the square Aqara ones for years but they are way more expensive than that
.... My first thought was "is this loss?". I'm probably too online.
Nah, cos the way the self driving thing will be structured will make it pretty much impossible to actually buy one - they'll be crazy expensive to buy outright, but you can absolutely lease one - oh but if you are using it for commercial purposes it's more expensive cos... insurance or something, oh and don't forget the per-km fees, and the servicing fee, and the battery wear fee, and ....

I've been looking at getting solar installed, and been talking to a few different companies for quotes. One place only supplies PowerWall batteries, and I said to the sales rep that I wasn't really interested in buying anything from Tesla and his face made it pretty clear that that was the answer he'd been getting a lot recently
