I happen to be looking around for a 15 or 16 inch laptop, but these look pretty unsuitable for me. Odd CPU choices, and no apparent way to configure one with 16GB ram in this time of AI-fueled cost crisis. All but the standard are way out of my budget range - especially considering none have a dGPU. Also for idiosyncratic reasons I need a numeric keypad.
For me going to the gym (actually YMCA) is just a way to express agency in a society that increasingly is trying to rob me of that. I may be gatekept out of various other things, because I'm not attractive enough, not high income enough, not smart enough, not young enough, etc etc. But as now, nobody can stop me from going to work out.
I like how in copilot now, I need to consider in vscode whether to accept a tab-complete, because if its coming from copilot it will count against my usage, whereas if it is coming from the ide tools it will not. So I'm like, making individual decisions on whether to type something myself or just "use up" some completion budget. Funny to get nickel and dimed like this by one of the biggest companies in the world.
I was very happy with Copilot but they changed it so it's obviously making me the product bc I'm not paying for it directly anymore.
I started using the local deepseek model I setup a year and half ago but never opened. It's wildly outdated but I really, really like that's it local, it feels different.
I'm now in the process of getting a more updated model running locally and phasing put ChatGPT and unfortunately Copilot too.
Tbh, Steam changed everything - I am actually considering Linux for the first time in my life.
For me it just inserted "Copilot" and I was only using inline completion, not agents. A bit weird too since my VSCode doesn't even have copilot installed as an extension (I had just started using that editor again on an old linux install and was wondering why I was even getting AI completions).
Was this rolled out to individuals (especially non paying accounts) early? I was hit by this over a week ago on my side project, but it seems to be just blowing up now.
