I am guessing that when you look at the site, you're only 'looking' which is allowed on shabbat. Taking an order constitutes a financial transaction and is probably regarded differently.

I'm guessing it's the "Writing" prohibition: This includes all forms of writing and drawing.
Typing, printing, and using a rubber stamp all come under this heading.
The main objective of writing is the keeping of records, and therefore, the spirit of the law forbids any activity normally requiring a written record. Thus, the Sanhedrin forbade all sorts of business activity, as well as marriage and divorce on the Sabbath. (Note 20)
Calculations and measurements are also included, since they also normally involve writing. Since taking an order would involve making a record, a strict interpretation would allow the site to remain, but ordering to be forbidden as you'd have to update a database.
I'm not Jewish though, so I could be well wrong!

Which is all well and good, but surely even tracking my search, writing to temporary tables, writing to a cookie on my system, is still a violation if they want to get like that.
And out-sourcing the data center would surely resolve any issues they may still have.
An online search is not equivalent to "window shopping" when a shop is closed.
Anyway, I find it bizarre that they don't simply put up a "closed for Shabbat, come back tomorrow" splash screen. It would be a lot more helpful.

Keeping to the Shabbat can get quite a bit more bizarre than that: Why There's a Single, Tiny Wire Encircling Manhattan - YouTube[^]

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.

Do they allow you to add item to a wishlist?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
