With discounts I was able to price one of Lenovo's at CAD 7K (USD 5K). I haven't had a new laptop in 9 years, with the last being a $2K Yoga in 2017.
I play games, home lab, and really want to take a deeper dive in to local LLM's. If it were to last me 9 years again, I could maybe reason through it as a huge treat to myself. It's tempting but in the end I can never justify pulling the trigger.
But I also want to main Linux. Gaming on ARM is progressing thanks to FEX but not a guarantee, and as evidenced by the write up there are a lot of workarounds to get Linux going. I'd worry that too much time would be spent tinkering with just getting/keeping the laptop running rather than doing the stuff that I want on it.

"This is a blatant, unapologetic act of vicious union busting" - Hundreds of Rockstar employees sign letter to management, demanding fired colleagues get reinstated

I can't speak for the USA, but typically in Canada (Ontario) people would not want to return to the employer but force a greater settlement.
Also, in Ontario, an employer that is found to be union busting would result in automatic certification of the union - no vote needed.

I looked it up and I backed this thing in October of 2012. I've played 0 minutes of this game. Talk about return on investment.

What's your opinion on Tuta mail?
I just migrated away from Tuta after trying the service for a year. I like it well enough, but it presented too many frustrations to be a service to pay for.
After searching around and checking purelymail, infomaniak, mailbox.org, mxroute, migadu, zoho, etc. I landed on fastmail (with my own domain) predominantly because of their implementation of labels (super slick). Their mobile app and desktop applications are also very slick. Contacts/calendar sync in to the Android System is done through DavX, but I also have it syncing to my Nextcloud instance. It's a more expensive solution than the others, but labels (tags/categories) are such an important part of my workflow that there aren't a lot of options unless I wanted to go back to M365/Google Workspace.
If I was to give up labels, I'd probably go with infomaniak or mailbox.org. Both of their offerings were slick and the price was right.
