Technology isn’t to enable users to do what they want, but to let corporations do what they can get away with.

Who out there using computers without sound?

I use my computers without sound, until I watch a vid (I use headphones for that). I hate the constant beeps for attention. Same with tablets, no sound, not even when playing a game. The only device that is allowed to make a sound is the phone. (and then very limited)

That would be really annoying (when I would use sound)

On the other hand, the Nvidia card I use refuses to work via the external monitor (USB-C) at power on when plugged in. Power on, then plug in, then I have screen… weird.

• Apple: We support apple hardware
• Microsoft: We support hardware from this list
• Linux: You want support, write it yourself.
• Nvidia: You want support, use windows
• Laptop developers: You want performance, oh, you’re a gamer, here have a Nvidia card.

You might ask, why a laptop: power consumption for the moments I don’t need power. I don’t want QHD on 17", 24" is better for my aging eyes so external monitor is a requirement. (previous one had 4K on 15", cheapest screen option to buy)
