That could be a malita filter, which has a flat bottom.

What’s wrong with a paper filter for a pour over?

It uses other signals too, like what other sites you’ve visited with that checkbox on it, what CloudFlare has seen your IP address doing in the past, etc.

The google one is able to see if you’re logged into a google account and take that into account.

There’s even a new variant of the Google captcha that is invisible and doesn’t even bother to show a checkbox.

I’ve used a number of different Linux distros (including Debian) on laptops over the years. Although most recently my XPS 15 was running Arch.

I couldn’t imagine buying any laptop other than a Mac because the performance to battery life ratio on everything else is awful. Plus if you want a UNIX system, it’s an easy buy.

After owning an Apple ARM laptop I’d never go back to anything else.
