I can’t speak on which is the best. I haven’t compared them on modern systems.

But what I will say is make sure you’re not artificially limiting your power levels or clock speed too much. Big fat Intel CPUs like that are power hogs when active. They need to reach an idle state. I have a laptop with an i9 11950h which is the same thing. But with the power plan on the lowest I get worse battery life and performance than if I just left it on balanced. But it depends on the workload. If there is no idle then power save might be best. But if you’re browsing the web and not constantly scrolling then balanced might just be better.

Ummm… what?

My dynamic IP almost never changes. I’ve had 3 in the last 10 years. How often does yours change?

There’s also dynamic dns if yours changes often.

Once you accept the certificate it being not blessed isn’t much of an issue. And just turning it on should just generate a self signed certificate on anything not a piece of shit.

If they’re not techy and changing to linux is out of the question then changing to iot is also probably out of the question.

Back to the ol pysx GPU days. Except physx made the game cooler.

Then you’re losing pcie lanes, and you have to deal with split storage or software raid which doesn’t always work the best.

VMs mostly. What are you hosting on Minecraft that isn’t using >=4 gigs?

Also ZFS.

Any AMD system that’s pretty new gets WAY worse battery life on Linux. AMD does some insane optimizations for windows. But it takes a few years before they make their way to Linux.

I think in the last 6 months there’s been some good work on this. But I have a similar AMD 6000 series system to them and I get almost twice the battery life on Linux.

Note, Windows has a “trick” of defaulting to “balanced” mode

That’s probably what most people want on a laptop on battery. Why would I want my CPU running full tilt for nothing? That’d largely why AMDs battery life on Linux is so bad.

“Better” isn’t what I use notepad for. I just want a place to put unformatted text.

And yet for games they are.

Wait you air dry your keycaps for a full day?

I just put mine in a towel and shake em for a few minutes after manually towel drying the outside.

Although a bingo roller cage thing and a fan might be a good way to dry them quickly.

RHEL is paid so I guess you could buy that.

At the same time Linus is making questionable choices at best. Asking ChatGPT for distro advice may be the “normie” thing to do right now (although I’m not too sure about that), but it’s not the smart thing to do and it did lead him down a bad path.

I mean that’s kinda the point. They’re noobs, they don’t know what’s right from wrong. People who don’t know right from wrong are likely to go down the wrong path.

IMO Linux’s biggest issue with normal people uptake is choice. Normal people don’t want 7000 options. It also makes diagnosing problems all the more harder.

Especially not someone on graphene OS.

Visual studio and visual studio code are two different things.

Yeah don’t use a magic eraser on anything that isn’t like a hard tile. Magic erasers are basically one step below sand paper. They will destroy the texture of plastic if you put any pressure on them. Soap and a towel go a long way. You could also use windex of any other light window cleaner. DO NOT use anything that contains ammonia.

Don’t use alcohol on the screen either. 70% or less is typically fine, but I’d stick to a very diluted mix. Like 50% or less. Google says store bought screen cleaners use Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Cocamidopropyl Betaine. Idk how to buy those for myself, so I just stick with a teeny tiny touch of dish soap on a lightly damp towel or microfiber. Then follow it up with a dry micro fiber. The store bought stuff works wonders for cleaning the smudges that soap left behind.

Welp I’m glad I didn’t wait. I kinda wanted to spring for the 10 but no camera bump is a big bonus to me. This is a secondary phone for me so no bump means the two phones sit flush against each other in my pocket.

Not having qi2 sucks, but a case fixes that. I just wish the phone was a bit smaller.

Did you go to their parts website? They sell parts for even their shitty(er) laptops.

And yet still not as serviceable/durable as older ThinkPads.

Uh, have you ever replaced the motherboard on older ThinkPads? You have to tear the entire machine apart and it’s a 30+ minute job. Around the time they removed the water spouts they switched to the bottom opening instead of top opening and replacing the main board went down to a 10 minute job. Even just replacing the thermal paste on some older machines required full disassembly.

They may not have water spouts that let you pour a gallon of water through the keyboard, but they do have plenty of plastic shields that prevent water from going further into the computer. If you knock over your soda your computer will probably be fine.
