  • Currently running a ThinkPad x380 with a 8th Gen intel quad core and 16gb of ram. A bit old by modern standards, but on Linux it’s plenty fast and I probably won’t have to upgrade for a decade. And that would only really be if the hardware was either worn out or there is some major upgrade I feel I need. I got it a few years old for $200 (it was a top spec model when new), I can fix most of the problems that might come up with it with used parts for cheap, and when I upgrade I’ll probably get another cheap laptop where running Linux won’t make it feel slow. From experience, if it were running windows it would begin to feel slower a lot sooner than with Linux, and indefinite security upgrades are not guaranteed.

    It depends. Had that issue a while back, personally found it was only when I was connected to 2.4 ghz wifi, which is the same frequency as Bluetooth. I haven’t really had the issue on my current phone (except in areas where it’s really windy), but it does have Bluetooth 5.0 so that might be part of it because it’s a massive upgrade from Bluetooth prior.



  • Depends on the type of shoe, and manufacturers. Louis Vuitton generally use better materials, but often the knock offs aren’t too much worse, similar with a lot of fashion shoes. That is excepting stuff like traditional dress shoes, which often do require a skilled craftsman to make. The most pronounced difference however, is generally in work boots. Expensive work boots are usually expensive because they use better materials and longer lasting designs. Knockoffs usually don’t last very long in comparison because they don’t use good materials and skim in areas that affect longevity.
