  • My advice is to generally opt for integrated on mobile, unless you absolutely need them. I did on my last computer (training ml models can often be sped up with Cuda cores), but the trade off was it breaking three times when updating my Nvidia drivers (had to chroot in an manually update, huge pain to deal with), so I specifically went away from Nvidia drivers on my latest laptop.


  • It’s mostly when you’re trying to optimize for power on a non standard distro. By default, they’re kinda a power hog but you can sorta turn off the gpu when not in use, it’s just fininky because Nvidia doesn’t want open source drivers that can go that low level. Thankfully don’t have to worry about it anymore after getting a non-Nvidia laptop for my latest daily.






  • Yeah, NC here, so the only place where prices are higher really is in the mountains. Plenty of newer hardtails used around $400-500, my new to me carbon is 10 years old, but I’m not planning to use it for anything strenuous so I feel fine about it (newer full suspension carbon frames are closer to $1k usually, but they are closer to top of the line).












  • I’m from the south and have been to a quite a few of those states (and the ones I haven’t been to, their reputation precedes them). I say this because I wouldn’t really recommend visiting them. Georgia is a pretty good example, as most of the state kinda sucks, outside of Atlanta and maybe Savanna. A lot of these states are just really poor, and it drastically affects their living standards and the people who live there. They might not be a complete monolithic block, but they’re similar more often than not.
