I'd love to buy a competitive device that's 1/2-2/3 the price of a MacBook, but I've never seen one at that price point. The models that come up in these threads usually lack…

The beauty of OSS is that there are plenty of people willing to play ball, and they all can. So, in your hypothetical, one project maintainer is unwilling to quote you a price. Big whoop. Approach …

She won the popular vote, and lost the decisive states (MI, PA, WI) by 12, 68, and 27 thousand votes respectively. She did not beat Trump, but she could have, had anything gone even slightly different…
