2 is fine.

I know where you're coming from, I use a closed notebook with external display sometimes.

I might need to be more specific. If the notebook is used as a typical notebook, and one closes it with the intent of putting it to sleep, once sleep has been reached an external mouse should not wake it.

However if you do toggle the power settings to allow the machine to function with the lid closed and/or machine docked then you do want to mouse to wake it keep awake the machine.

This used to be so much easier back in win 95,98,xp days.

There was a startup folder in the start menu and all you needed to do was drag what you wanted into it.

This is an example of something that got harder.

Had this issue for years over 2 machines.

One had some shit in the background the prevented standby.

Other was so simple it pissed me off.... .. the damn mouse jostling around in the laptop bag was walking it up.

I'm still going to point the finger at windows because 1) there should be a better tool for identifying what is keeping a system awake and 2) should be default for a mouse to not wake a portable machine who's lid is shut.

The most simple answer.

Ads or commercials are typically an interruption to the content I was wishing to watch.

If it has anti islanding at least it's unlikely to be a shock hazard.

That said are there any other concerns I'm missing?

Cheap shitty knockoff reboots of a product are not newsworthy or even post worthy.

Is my opinion unpopular?

Claims to describe the claimed issues with the framework display but instead literally outlines the issues with the chosen OS instead.

Like.. fine, be annoyed, but at least be honest. The framework display has no faults.

Linux had issues with DPI.

It's still an issue, still legit, not it's not a faulty display.

I'm with the others recommending Brother. They aren't perfect, but they're the least bad.

Running about a 10 year old MFC 9349 CDW here, only changed the black toner so far. Used a cartridge reset truck I found on YouTube to get more life out of the original black before that.

Scans to network nicely, does 2 sided prints etc.

Go for a Brother.

WTF?

Unless that was sarcasm that I missed... 100's of weapons have been tested on US soil..

Great... And and will this abundance be shared or hoarded for profit like everything else that is abundant already is?

About damn time.

Trying to find your way around an unfamiliar system where everything started with K was enough to put me off desktop Linux.
