"For the amount of space it takes to include a second speaker or second camera it doesn't really make sense when you can just plug in an external one"
You sound like an idiot.
I can buy a phone from HMD that's more repairable, more modular, and has sustainable features.
Fairphone has been a busted flush since they ditched the headphone jack. It's just the most obvious sign amongst many they started making landfill phones.
You got to benefit from the 80s and selling off of all our national assets to prop up our economy for 2 decade's
You lived in the good times and called it "the cold war".
From a millennial give us our stuff back (to the state who gave it to you).
This is a good run through

It's targeting performance benchmarks for the 8700G at 1080p and getting decent FPS
RAM speed really matters as it's also your GPU memory. So low clock RAM will kill GFX performance.
If you're really budget conscious TDP at 65W for the CPU and GFX is a major win over any other setup.
I know someone who went the 5700G route a few years ago and was pretty happy.
But my budget setup:
USB-C dock for my steam deck. One device for desktop, TV, and handheld.
As the amount of time I've got to spend on games has gone down, I've got too many great games to get through on the steam deck already and I lean towards indie titles.
During the summer running a heater as a GPU either makes the room unpleasant or has additional air con load.
Honestly each Playstation generation has ended up sub 250W power consumption at launch with sub 400W rated PSUs. They kick out enough heat.
A build with a 1000W PSU or 1200W PSU is a red flag for me.
I get the desire to get the best possible performance but at some point it's really not worth it. It's a space heater, and one too powerful to leave on even in the winter.
This happened with appliances. They ended up with the silly A++++ ratings added in 2010 as otherwise everything would be an A.
In 2021 they decided to redefine grades instead. A fridge at A+++ became a C. A became the top grade again.
It's also worth noting that as they push the whole scale and G into being more efficient that essentially bans products that can't achieve a rating.
if everything becomes an A the system has worked and increased the efficiency across the market. They'll adjust the goals every 5 to 10 years.
The EU battery life measure is going to be the most interesting battle ground in my opinion. "All day battery life" will have a measured metric in hours.
If the EU have managed to make that metric representative of an amount of screen time in a busy day it could become the first thing consumers look at. Or at least a deal breaker when that number is too low.
Edit: Disregard. I have the 13, not the 12.
~~Normal laptop formfactor. You can have a touch screen as an option but it doesn't do the full 360 fold round into a tablet.
I own one and the hinge goes 180.
It's an excellent laptop, I grabbed one when the first AMD board was available and it runs Fedora flawlessly and has windows on an SSD when I need it.~~
To exclude certain Semites from the definition of "antisemitism" based on religion...
The definition of antisemitism is anti Semite.
As long as we come across people playing language games while excusing a genocide.
It' could be reasoned it's not accurate to call Israel's actions "antisemitic" as that has been chosen as meaning only Jewish related hatred.
It can also be reasoned that it's perfect valid to call Israel's actions "anti Semitic" as this is a genocide against an Arabic speaking Semitic population.
You could afford a house and got a free or cheap education
The state has sold off everything in your lifetime to keep your taxes low, including housing. Which you bought and now own.
Millennials are generation rent with a government renting back what it sold as taxes rise.
And the cold war is still going on, what is it about Gen X that makes them think it stopped. Putin is at war in Europe right now. The cold war only ever paused.
Proxy wars didn't stop with Vietnam, the cold war didn't stop with the fall of the Berlin Wall.
You get to experience the events of the world while being comparatively rich.
You got to experience the only decade or so without a cold war threat while millennials experience the threat of Russia and an increasing threat from China.
And millennials were told as children the world would burn if we did nothing. Gen X and the Boomers did nothing.
Yes it sucks.
But you had it good, and politically you've fucked us recently. After being previously politically apathetic.
We've got a world to repair and it remains to be seen if Millennials will actually move past apathy into fixing it with Gen Z or continuing to fuck it up like Gen Z.
It's based on Hamlet. So Shakespeare, not the bible.
It's the result of Netscape losing to anti-trust behaviour by Microsoft and open sourcing their code as a final parting gift.
Netscape was struck down Firefox rose.
Still an idiot.
