  • That’s hard for me to answer because I’m usually at home plugged in, and I set the max charge in the bios to only 65% so the battery will physically degrade slower (I don’t need the charge). A few hours is really all I can say with any accuracy. Worth noting a few things -

    1. Since I bought my laptop they came out with an improved battery I could upgrade to, so you’d get a better experience.
    2. I believe(?) battery life is improved a fair bit at least with the AMD ones; less sure on the newer Intel ones.

    I will say that if long battery life is your #1 concern this may not be the laptop for you.











  • If I were to play devil’s advocate, it would be that capped rent increases is to prevent predatory landlords from increasing rent more than their costs, but that if their costs go up more then they have a way to cover that without losing the property / going bankrupt.

    That provision is maybe more acceptable when you’re talking about families renting out their basement suite, but I have zero sympathy for investors who took a risk and lost. And even in the case of non-investor landlords, I’m skeptical that it’s appropriate to make the tenant shoulder all the increased costs.






    • He could be an Arab Israeli
    • He could be ultra-orthodox
    • He could have had a medical exemption
    • He could have received Israeli citizenship later in his adult years after conscription.
    • He may have served but in a role that isn’t committing human rights abuses (say working on missle defense)
    • He may have served but his political views have since developed and he’s now pro-peace / anti-apartheid.

    To generalize and assume that nearly all Israeli men are war criminals is to generalize on the basis of national origin which in most jurisdictions is rightfully assumed to be racist.
