Why the every living FUCK would a serious agency rely on Microslop for any technical component anywhere? Haven’t they learned from the last 40 years of terrible products?

Science is so very cool. Building a machine to keep antiprotons in frozen suspension with superconductor magnetic fields at 8.5 Kelvin so you can transport them around to other research sites!? Sounds fun, let’s do it.

I snagged a Chromebook back in 2016 and used it for 9 years. It wasn’t speedy, but for small time browsing, terminal use (I rooted it and put a real Linux distro in there), and media watching it was just fine.
