Hey, @WestJet, why can't I fly Edmonton to Victoria for $89 every day of the week? Is fuel half-price on Wednesdays and Saturdays? Or might it have something to do with @newleaftravel? #PredatoryPricing
heh...

If only they were as freedom-respecting as the ones that the FSF already gave that title to: http://fsf.org/ryf/I agree that would be preferred. However, all of their laptops have had Windows on them before (as far as I can tell). So you are contributing to demand for used ThinkPads when you buy them, and thus increasing the value of new Windows-running ThinkPads (because they have higher resale value if more people want to buy them used). I'd rather stay out of the Windows ecosystem altogether.Denver Gingerich at 2015-07-24T03:23:02Z

When someone is selling their ThinkPad, neither Lenovo nor Microsoft are part of that transaction so I fail to see any problem. Seems a poor argument to advance the sales of computers that are less free.
Resale value only makes sense for products that people expect to resell when they buy them. I don't think laptops are in that category, so I don't think we need to consider that factor when buying second-hand laptops. Buy the hardware that is possible to run all-free software on.2015-03-20T03:18:53Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
