Yes, but if all Jedi are trained the way described, do any of the masters know how to deal with emotions?

This is how to properly build up a tool set.

Dropping thousands on tools you might need js silly.

Buy the cheap version first. Its very easy to end up with a pile of unused tools that you thought would change your life, but you only used them once or twice

Once the tool gets worn out/broken or you find the tool can't do everything you need it to do, then it is time to look into something nicer.

More accurate than the average american.

If that's really all it takes, there will be a great pilgrimage

If you shop blackfriday for Xmas and such;

Check out the extension camelcamelcamel https://camelcamelcamel.com/

It tracks prices on Amazon (or if you don't want extension, you can paste the link on their site). The extensions makes easy to check as your shopping.

This let's you check if 50% off is really a sale or "we tripled the price last month and are fucking you over"

You can also setup price watches, and get email when something's price drops below whatever you set.

(Someone else mentioned Keepa that does the same thing, I've never heard of it, but a quick look shows it has a subscription for some stuff, no thanks)

The recent macbooks are heading back in the right direction.

I think a lot of the complants come from wanting a portable computer/setup, and having a hub or a bunch of adapters takes away the portability.

I think the ideal I/O for me would be;

  • Power
  • 4x USBc (displayport, high speed, etc.)
  • 1x USBA (flash drives are still mostly A, and if you have a wireless USB mouse, not needing an adapter or dealing with bluetooth is great)
  • 3.5 headphone/mic combo jack
  • Ethernet
  • HDMI, at least until more monitors have USBC inputs, although having an adapter cable isn't too bad.

This is where I like framework approach with the customizable IO, but I think they need to shrink the blocks to give 6-8 ports. 4 is simply not enough, with one used up for power.

They said replaced, not gotten rid of.
