Oh, I knows it. But the Lounge is no place for such things.

I think that we can take it as read that all religions have practices or beliefs that appear bizarre to outsiders. And yes, the Lounge is the wrong place for this discussion.

I am Jewish, and I can tell you that no observant Jew would have their place of business open on the Sabbath, even if all the staffers were non-Jews.
As for keeping the web site going, there is no prohibition against leaving a mechanism that was operating before the Sabbath to operate on the Sabbath. For example, there is no problem turning an electric light on before the Sabbath and have it stay on all the Sabbath. In like manner, there is no reason to shut down the web site.

But why disable one part of it while leaving most of it fully active?
It still seems similar to leaving the shop open to allow browsing and comparing prices, but just no sales.
Even the history of browsing should still be recorded for analytics.

Interesting question.
To me the following makes it clear that the work applies to humans. Only.
[^]
It actually says the computer can be left on and one can even interact with it in a limited way.
Logically I could also see that if this was not the case then one would need to turn off the refrigerator.
Or what about even an irrigation system? Would a farmer need to turn that off? Following says no.

That is quite steep. I get it, an i9 with a 4090. Surprised they can cool it satisfactorily. Do the fans start to scream when you're playing doom or something like that?

It doesn't arrive until Wednesday. I've heard it can get loud.

You'll hear the delivery two stops away?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

By the way, if you play GTAO there's a Codeproject crew you can join now. OriginalGriff has the deets.

Wonderful.
I was going to say that I was Jealous, but I am not really.
Gee why would I be.
Most people who say this use it as a way of saying "Wow I would love that."
Just enjoy it and have fun.
Now comes the hard part though.
Deciding what you are going to install on it.
What it shares with the other PCs.
I always have issue with this.
Enjoy it...........

I've got a pretty good idea of what I will install. I just need to make sure I can partition the 2nd NVMe slot into two parts and run linux on one of them in a dual boot config for when the machine is at my desk.

Wow, you must live in a bad neighborhood

Speaking of bad neighborhoods, I live in what's called the "bible belt" and some local businesses put a black overlay on their website on Sunday
Have fun with your new laptop.
With such a beast you should be able to type and run single-line if-statements even faster!

Kind of. At that point.
Combination of living on the ground floor of a very busy city street but with easy access in from the side of the building out of view of others (someone broke in), and once being forgetful and leaving it in a cafe.

At that point it's more "finding" than "stealing"

That's something of a subjective moral position, I'd think. I could make several arguments against that perspective, but I won't right now. Not enough coffee.
Edit: Whoops. It was the last laptop i left in a cafe. The first one I left at someone's house. I never found the one I left at the cafe.

Maybe you could come over to my place for a cup of coffee and to show me my errr... I mean, your new laptop

LOL
I went *everywhere* with the thing, so it was bound to happen eventually. I had had it for i think a couple years at that point.

Put a sticker with your cell number on your new laptop. If an honest person finds it, you will get it back.
Put that over permanent marker with your cell number and “reward”. If a dishonest person peels off the sticker, they might go for the reward!

That's not a bad idea, although if the laptop were passed around who knows who'd wind up with my number. 
I'll certainly consider it.
