I would favour an AMD Ryzen 7000 based laptop. Much better battery life than Intel and better graphics performance.

Lenovo ThinkPad T and P series are excellent build quality.

Asus Zenbooks or Expertbooks with OLED screens are also excellent. Displays are on par, or superior to Macbooks. Excellent colour accuracy.

Make sure you get something with at least 16GB of Ram, or 32GB if available.

Everything is improved if you put a cross guard on it.

Insecure people want simple lies over complex truth.

DRM only affects paying customers. It plays no role in effectively combatting piracy.

Only good service and good pricing is effective against piracy.

What about punitive payments to cover mental health, legal and financial costs related to the firing?

The reason housing is not solving itself, is that investment firms are buying and controlling all the stock and controlling the pricing. This is also why rents are so high.

I suggest legislation where the practice is severely restricted. Maybe an increase in the property tax rate if you do not live in the property, with an additional tax if the property does not have an occupant. Or a higher tax rate for corporately owned properties.

When my parents were young, they could afford a 4 bedroom home, two kids and our education on the single income of a teacher with my mother being a stay at home mom. The problem is that salaries have not kept up with inflation in the last 50 years.

Raising kids costs time as well as money. You cannot have time to have kids if both parents need to work full time.

I think it's more a case of food gets better if you were colonized by the Romans.

We need to make it cheaper to raise kids and own a home.
