I should make a clarification: "jail" in the correctional context refers to pre-trial detention, as opposed to "prison" which is post-trial conviction housing. This distinction doesn't happen in the real world :) So, to answer you question, I did 10 years locked up without conviction. No trial yet. Maybe one day?

Wait, what? This wasn't in the US I presume then?

Yes. The USA allows indefinite detention pre-trial when you can't afford your bond. I really shouldn't have done a day in jail, but I didn't have access to my bank account or my possessions so I couldn't get any money together to get myself out.

I actually did over 8 years straight before I managed to put the money together from the inside. Then when I got out I made an "lol" post on Twitter because the local sheriff's dept was coming to my house every single day and arresting me, dragging me out onto the street and then letting me go. So they took me to jail again for the Twitter post and denied me bail on it since it was such a dangerous post I guess /s.

I have yet to find a portable windows machine that doesn’t throttle performance on battery. Weird that no reviewers ever mention it but Macs have nearly no performance difference and they plugged in vs on battery and that’s a huge reason I don’t trust using any Windows laptops on the move.

Does it really matter if it throttles stuff when your other option is using a mac?

That is a Mac user thing anyway. For some reason Mac users seems to have a boner for a computer that can work everywhere, especially in place where it makes everything more complicated and painful no matter the battery life. Well at least that is what they tell you; in large part thanks to the marketing. In practice I have rarely seen this sort of "advantage" really taken care of. For the most part people use their laptops for watching videos and doing simple office like task when they are on-the-go without a desk and power source.

It's quite funny because it was already one of the major arguments of Mac laptops back in the 2000s when I bought my first one. I have done tech support for full Mac companies and countless of people with various jobs position and it simply doesn't reflect how the vast majority of people use their laptop. It's a lot like the capability of SUV/luxury 4x4 to go in accidented terrain. That's nice marketing feature but barely 1% of the buyers actually use it.
