Let's Not
LapTop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To another one of Jackie's parties
To hang around with a bunch of clowns
Gazing at their shoes and acting arty
Let's not and say we did
I cannot, I can't deal with it
I cannot deal with it
I can practically hear them
You want to know if I want to go
I hear them shooting the shit
Promote myself, to show and tell
I can picture them sneering at
Back stabbing, how gouache
Each others weak attempts at wit
I don't think so I know, I know
Let's not and say we did
I cannot, I can't deal with it
Cannot deal with that thing
Let's just hide out and be boring
Let's just hide from everything
I'm in no mood to go whoring
To keep grabbing the brass ring
Can't possibly
You think I would meet someone who could
Help me get my somewhat left field
Art out get on the scene
You never know where things lead
You gotta go to Jackie's
Weekly party, man
Let's not and say we did
Let's not, I can't deal with it
I cannot deal with that thing
The song "Let's Not" by LapTop features the singer being invited by someone to a party hosted by Jackie. However, the singer expresses reluctance and discomfort at the thought of being around the attendees of the party- a bunch of clowns gazing at their shoes and acting arty (pretentious). The party-goers are depicted as people who promote themselves by showing off their skills and achievements, backstabbing and sneering at each other's attempts at being witty. The singer rejects the invitation and suggests that they instead should hide out and be boring. The singer is in no mood to go whoring (seeking opportunities to advance their career) and is not interested in going to Jackie's weekly party.
The song seems to criticize the rat race of the music industry where people are expected to network, socialize and promote themselves to make it big. It highlights the challenges artists face while trying to maintain their integrity and artistic identity in a world where commercial success seems to be the ultimate goal. The lyrics suggest that the singer values their peace of mind and artistic freedom more than the recognition and fame that comes with industry success.

When you were discussing the XPS 17 trackpad issues, you mentioned how in the bottom left-hand corner you get too close to the corner and the click doesn't happen
That's on purpose. I found this on the Dell forums from the XPS 17 Setup PDF:
"NOTE: The top and the sides of the touchpad—8.20 mm (0.32 in.) from the edges—are disabled. This prevents
unintended movements of the mouse pointer when using the keyboard.
NOTE: The touchpad area of the computer is large and your palms may inadvertently touch the touchpad corners when
the touchpad is in use. To prevent this, touches within the 1 cm (0.39 in.) x 1 cm (0.39 in.) corners of the touchpad are
ignored if other touches are detected in the touchpad outside of these corners"

@Cameron Bosch it's so bad some one once told me the spam creators use algos to seek out certain keywords once but idk some times it seems like random scammers just stalk certain YTers with impressionable users.

I understand new designs are locked in for at least 12 months before release, and Apple suddenly bringing back all the ports late last year has caught all the other brands out for their 2022 releases, LOL.

I’m still surprised Dell removed the headphone jack before Apple did 😂

Given the issues, we are seeing 40 top-tier games on the 12th Gen processor architecture (See Jay's two cents for more details). I am skipping all-new Dell laptops for another 12 months. I was also disappointed that they only moved the XPS 13 to a 12th gen processor. In hindsight, it's a good thing they didn't propagate it through the entire product line. It's clear they are aware of a significant issue in using the 12th gen architecture with major software that Microsoft and the software vendors have yet to resolve. But, with the price increases of about 20% here in Canada and Dell tightening their financing requirements I just cannot see enough value to make it worth acquiring anything by Dell. I also recently had an issue with a 32" 4K monitor. It's taken me three months to get a replacement! Not acceptable. While the XPS is not strictly a gaming computer its specs make it a consideration. So Dell is off the list for 2022. Your point about the headphone jack and keyboard is valid but the inability to run major software on the 12th gen architecture makes this a hard pass for me. I also don't know if I can adjust to the "virtual Track pad" either. So just say no!

Once you see the Framework Laptop, it is quite difficult to even consider another 13-inch laptop if you're working on Windows or Linux.
You should take a look at it.
