I see an attractive deal on a laptop that is shipped with Windows 11 in S-mode (link below).
I assume (I know), but am not sure that I will be able to load Linux on that laptop -- can anyone tell me for sure? PS: I'd also want to expand the RAM and I have to find out if I can do that. cc'ing me would be helpful, I subscribe to the list but can't keep up with reading it anymore -- I will try to pay attention for the next week or so for any responses. * [[https://www.newegg.com/asus-l510ka-nb21-15-6-intel-pentium-silver- n6000-4gb-intel-uhd-graphics-64-gb/p/N82E16834236521?Item=N82E16834236521] [ASUS 15.6" Vivobook Go Laptop, FHD, Intel Pentium N6000 Quad Core, 4GB RAM, 64GB SSD, Windows 11 in S Mode, Star Black, L510KA-NB21]] Thank you!

Make it easier for your reader by various means, including liberal use of whitespace (short paragraphs, separated by whitespace / blank lines) and minimal use of (obscure?) jargon, abbreviations, acronyms, and references.

A video (or "audio"): not so much -- divide by 10 for each minute of video (or audio) or create a transcript and edit it to 10% of the original. (Remember Cicero who did not have enough time to write a short missive.) A speaker who uses ahhs, ums, or such may have a real physical or mental disability, or may be showing disrespect for his listeners by not properly preparing in advance and thinking before speaking. (That speaker might have been "trained" to do this by being interrupted often if he pauses.) A radio (or TV) station which broadcasts speakers with high pitched voices (or very low pitched / gravelly voices) (which older people might not be able to hear properly) disrespects its listeners. Likewise if it broadcasts extraneous or disturbing sounds (like gunfire or crying), or broadcasts speakers using their native language (with or without an overdubbed translation). | A news broadcast or snippet thereof which ends with the correspondent's name instead of a recap of at least some key point(s) of the story does a disservice to its (casual) listeners. A person who writes a sig this long probably has issues and disrespects (and offends) a large number of readers. ;-)
