in brazil, we used to have a law forcing this to be a thing. back in the laptop days, it used to be reasonably common for people to buy one without with linux, and pirate windows later to save money. or because it was plain cheaper.

it turns out brazil fomented a big userbase for linux for a while there. free market my ass, microsoft is an oligopoly. if this ever gets widespread i'm pretty sure adoption will grow for the simple fact people will at least get to fucking try it. microsoft wouldnt take it kindly though.

covid sends its regards. "hey, 30k people died today of just this disease."

its still a thing, that kills and cripples some people, but its like it doesn't even exist anymore.

yeah thats these people's code for capitalism, yes.

under the assumption that its the only democratic way, which is almost the exact opposite of the truth.

wonder if the radio button defaulted to the “Made in Asia” position

thats a good point. users heavily favor the default option, or rather they seldomly change it.

oh i love these things, we got a lot of the previous facelift to that one in decent numbers, kinda wanted one to drive pretty hard.

but in good condition such that it would not turn into a black hole for money, because they can sadly get crazy expensive to fix and maintain where i live. 10-15k usd sounds about right but its a huge amount in south america. like i can get new-ish proper car in great good for that amount.
