A power companies largest expense is maintaining the grid. If their only product has to be sold at negative prices, then there is no money to pay people to maintain the grid. An under maintained gridgrid can lead to very serious consequences, ref:Texas.

When she asks "Can I have your name?", don't give it to her.

"Not as shit as you could be" is not something we should be praising. A handful of years is still too short, just because it is marginally better than their competitors doesn't mean we should give Apple a pass. It just means that the industry is full of shitty companies that profit off of producing e-waste, and know that consumers have no real choice but to put up with it.

In case you don't know, AKG doesn't exist anymore.

The brand name still exists, but none of the people or facilities that made up the company before 2017 are still part of it. About the time they were bought by Samsung, the offices and manufacturing in Austria were closed.

https://frame.work/products/western-digital-sn740-nvme-m-2-2230?v=FRANRTWD0B is in the marketplace for the Canada and US regions, but not GB. IDK, maybe a supply chain thing. Maybe a mistake.

But if your trying to buy a SSD, not a laptop, don't buy it from Framework and pay their shipping. Just buy it from a local retailer.

I've had this same conversation I don't know how many times, but about phones. Someone tells me they don't like Android because its slow and buggy, and iPhone is so much better. Then I ask them which Android phone(s) they've tried and its always a loaner that is a cheap, entry level phone and/or it is used and years out of date. So of course a brand new iPhone is going to be a better experience. They don't seem to understand that there are premium phones that use Android.

A "factory seconds" framework 13 might fit your budget, and you get a laptop that is easily repairable and upgradeable. The 11th gen i7 version that starts at $500 is what I have been using for a couple of years now and still runs great.

They also have refurbished laptops, but those seem to start a little bit more expensive.
