Kodak sure is an interesting story. It's a lot more complicated too than what has generally been reported. Digital cameras were a 'crappy business'. https://petapixel.com/why-kodak-died-and-fujifilm-thrived-a-tale-of-two-film-companies/

Not sure about recommending a laptop, the 16 looks good but they're quite pricey. The device driver issue for the 12th Gen is still a concern (latest driver pack is dated July 2022). Would be worth checking the Linux forums to see how others have got on. At least with Linux there's lots of choice, and ability to hack.

They also gave me the runaround with a DisplayPort module. Took ages to get a replacement then it turned out that it was never going to work as there's a defect they haven't figured out how to fix yet.

As a word of warning being a Framework user, their device drivers are very old and they keep promising to update them but haven't yet. Have also heard some concerns about running Linux on them. Otherwise, nice hardware and easy to upgrade/repair.

I didn't know about SGI, I was a Sun 3 & Sparc user, although I was adjacent to SGI kit having worked with psychologists developing new HCIs on SGI machines. Imagine if they had hung on until the LLM revolution had kicked off! https://www.abortretry.fail/p/the-rise-and-fall-of-silicon-graphics

That's more than a lifetime's career. How can anyone do that many jobs by the age of 41?! I feel tired just reading her resume. https://x.com/JoshWalkos/status/1781528267918373308

She condemns herself with her own words. Why Signal would have her as chair is beyond belief if they truly want to uphold free speech. https://x.com/realchrisrufo/status/1780597079439446250
