  • What is the best path forward from a T420?

    Jump

  • Intel underwent a massive redesign of their mobile chips where something like the i5-8250U eventually met the performance of the i7-4702MQ (these are just examples from recent memory) at a fraction of the TDP. And 7th Gen U Intel had about the same single core performance so I’m not going to jerk the T480 train here. What I mean is that they used way less power and made way less heat. Benefits are fewer sweaty palms and more time away from an outlet. Yes, you may argue neither of those are important, but they are a major improvement in portability which OP mentioned.

  • The T14/P14s is so flimsy in build quality that I would skip the entire line. I would rather go through the annoying repair process to replace the keyboard on a T14s than actually own a T14 which flexes in your lap and in your hands.

    X13/T14s are actually decent options due to choice of material. They’re hard to find because you have to find a configuration with a good display and 32GB. I still love my T480 though. I just can’t see why they chose such a light build with plastic to appeal to anyone besides their business customers.

  • They are not cheap and the 7 row keyboard is quite overrated. Literally any second hand computer for the same price would outperform it in every metric. You also have the problem of choosing between a 13 year old battery or a 3rd party battery.

  • Debian Testing broke my install just now (already fixed)

  • this is actually the default behavior for zypper!

  • I am personally offended that the XBOX360 is apparently considered retro now

    Jump

  • I never had an XBOX or PS2. I went over to my friend’s house and he’d let me take a controller. I’m surprised this is considered retro now and I’m a little sad since I never got to play it.

    Now I have Steam games I can’t find time or joy to play and with no one to play them with.

  • What would you do with hardware like this?

    Jump

  • With 64GB all I can think of is a lot of memory for street map routing (OSRM). Otherwise, homelab it.

  • What host names do you use?

    Jump

  • I call them after what service is running on it. E.g. openvpn.

    Permanently Deleted

  • AirVPN is great. I got it during the Halloween / Cyber Monday sale. 3 years for $70

  • Manufacturers refuse to use nanoguard in their electronics despite being like a dollar

  • A 40-day Target boycott starts today. It couldn’t come at a worse time for the company

    Jump

  • Some people might shop there because it’s closer than Walmart. Also I’m not sure what a 40 day “boycott” will do to sales.

  • I can no longer tell what is and is not satire.

    Jump

  • I’ve never thought of it that way, lol. Tech Bros must just say and do whatever they think will earn them the most praise and money. I think that is why they raised that because it was being marketed as an “ultimate truck” even though when it panned out it was the complete opposite.

  • Like programming in bash

  • For me I spent one hour of ADHD hyper focusing to get the gist of regex. Python.org has good documentation. It’s been like 2 years so I’ve forgotten it too lol.

  • Can someone explain PewDiePie

    Jump

  • This is a ridiculous stance. A lot of people say stupid stuff on the internet and then mature and move on. A lot of us have the privilege of people (the entire world) not remembering what we said. I don’t think it’s right that he impressed on his viewers that those words are acceptable, but that doesn’t make him a nazi or racist in public or private. That dilutes the word further when there isn’t enough evidence to even suggest it’s true, ignores the fact that most of us are prejudiced more than we’d admit, and causes people to just ignore us when we aren’t making a reactionary standpoint on a real issue. I have never been a PewDiePie viewer nor do I think his content is interesting nor his move to Linux, but I hate to see Lemmy pinning him on a wall as if he’s responsible for an entire generation becoming radicalized with alt-right. I would blame Big Tech and algorithms.

  • I have an entire cabinet currently used to store empty jars...

    Jump

  • This is why my roommate hates me. I keep every jar I use, hoard plastic jugs because I think I’ll eventually recycle them, and keep shipping boxes under my bed.

  • John Oliver launches "Make yourself less valuable to Meta" website, suggests Signal, Mastodon, Pixelfed, and BlueSky as Meta alternatives

  • For purely political reasons. These users will join and then forget about it after a week because the platforms are different.

  • and also when you do now that i think about it

    Jump

  • OK. I think I get it. So people enable uPnP on their routers and then open Minecraft's port using uTorrent (or any other program that opens a port with uPnP). And they do all of that instead of just logging into their NAT routers. Honestly, sounds like something I would do before I knew networking concepts, though if it were explained to me it would be a million times more confusing than just learning how to configure NAT.

  • Can you explain this? I have so many questions.
