Is Advanced AI a Reason to Decouple from The Centralized Internet?

That's the question posed by Purism, the USA manufacturer of Linux hardware, laptop, servers and the Librem5 phone.

Interesting. Obviously but without hiding in the end they propose their products but I think they do wellIf only Librem5 USA didn't cost so much… 😅

Quick doodle to test a refurbished Ms Surface Pro 3 (cheap, 2014) running GNU/Linux (Fedora Gnome). Good hardware support out of the box for stylus and touch on this model.

Feedback:
- I could saw almost nothing while drawing, even with backlight to max and no sunglasses.

Does anyone know what this tool is called, and more importantly: where can I get a new one?

It’s a simple yet super useful tool for poking around while soldering things. Made out of some high-heat plastic, not sure what kind.

It says “Harris - Dracon Division” and “Camarillo, California” on it, but nothing else.
