    Don’t get me wrong, they’re idiots.

    But people are drastically underestimating how shitty government laptops are.

    But what do I know? What’s decades of direct experience when someone online has a Jupiter laptop?!

    Clearly you know more than anyone who actually deals with it

    Speaking of, it’s my mom’s b’day coming up, you clearly know more than me so what would a thoughtful and bespoke gift be?

      Get her a Thinkpad with 64 GB of ram and a server-class CPU that blasts enough heat to make the laptop hover. That’s what I had the last time I worked on a project for the government. Company took it back though 😞

      Idk. If it’s your mum that you take after, you can get her nothing and let her make the excuses for your failure.

      The issue with your comments are not how bad government laptops are.

      The issue seems to be you don’t understand how little work processing even a million rows is.

        Yeah. Who needs decades of experience when people on the internet know better?

        Not like it’s ironic people people are doing the same thing Elon is or anything…

      Flowers, her favorite unless her favorite is roses then go for something nice and in season. If you have the time bake her homemade cookies as well.
