T14 gen 1 is pretty cheap these days. The T480 ends up costing the same or more as it because of the memes so unless you really desire 2 ram slots or dual batteries the T14 is better. If it comes with a 1366x768 screen then the nice 1080p screen costs almost nothing.

It was a neat concept having “the best of both worlds” the problem really was just with the scheduler. If Microsoft could fix their scheduler then it would be amazing. But it’s M$ so they won’t.

Also still having two CCDs in general is kind of an issue in windows. I’ll be sticking with the single CCD CPUs for any gaming machines.

from the article:

They argue that Musi is a ‘parasitic’ app that doesn’t compensate creators or rightsholders.

They asked for the passport and did the face scan? Outside of the first time they’ve haven’t asked for my passport yet.

You can be the enemy of the advertisers and they will do everything in their power to destroy you. Or you can not entirely piss them off and actually continue to exist and try to do as much good as you can.

And honestly still probably be better in every way besides the OS (subjective)

The edges of those slider bits can be pretty rough from the factory. If you want to skip the tape just slightly sand or file the corners of the mouse. Once they wear they get a bit smoother, but some gamer mice have some insane anti grip pads that have 0 traction, but the Apple ones have a bit even once worn in.

You can just look at what addresses from that range have left the network in any given 24 hour window.

If AAAA is constantly reaching our to aussie.zone one day, and the next day AAAB is reaching out to that address you can pretty easily connect the dots.

We turn it off in our office. It doesn’t benefit us.

You could also make the argument that ipv4 through NAT is better for privacy since it obfuscate what, and how many devices are connected to where.

If it wasn’t for lossless music, and storing about 75 gigs of drone footage on my phone I don’t use a lot of my storage typically. The 256 default is enough for me. But since I imported this phone I just said fuck it and went for the 1TB model and I’m sure as hell gonna use that storage. Apps bloating to use a shit ton of storage? Fuck it I don’t care.

Also I’ve always hated having the two tier storage for my phone. When 64 gig SD cards were a lot for a phone I had one and I hated it. It was only good for music, and offloading some photos. But it was always a pain getting most photo apps to recognize and treat each folder as one unified library so I’d always have half of my photos “inaccessible”. My last phone with an SD card slot was my galaxy note 3 from about the same time. After that I just started buying phones with enough built in storage.

I have never heard of a carrier re carrier locking a phone before. If they really hated you they'd just blacklist the iemi and then you wouldn't be able to use it on any carrier. But they're not that petty, they don't care.

Visibility is good and equivalent to some LEDs with higher end lamps

No. Not even close. LEDs are blinding because they have such high output. That high output is what makes things visible.

Dropping Hyperthreading and not doubling the E cores is silly.

The only things worse is those rumored 4P 0E core parts with no HT. Those machines are gonna suck.

AMD is on a much better process node than Intel, but their battery life still isn't as good as Apple's. Particularly under low to medium loads. My M1 MBP easily gets 12 hours of battery life under a real load. My AMD powered ThinkPad is closer to 7 hours, and my Intel machines get like 4, on a good day.

Scaled sorting is what caused that issue. Active or hot don't really have that issue since they're more likely to show slightly older but highly voted things. VS scaled which will just dump all 20 posts from one person even though nobody has voted on them.

There's a few alternatives to reddit pro tools that let you do this. I forget which one I had installed before but it had some basic tagging.

The topics weren't an issue. The issue is more with Lemmy's sorting algorithm not being great.

There’s a lot more than just two temperature sensors inside your phone. Your screen has sensors, there’s a few chassis sensors, your CPU has probably 30+ inside of it etc.

The pixels is external which is unique I guess.

Man I’m surprised Samsung didn’t dominate this list. My galaxy S4 was filled with so many garbage features that I never used.

Samsung and their garbageware was like 50% of the reason why I switched to iOS for my main phone.

Micro center has been selling the 10th Gen. for like $270 and it’s a nice upgrade over the 9. Plus USB c is cool. It’s been out for a while so accessories shouldn’t cost too much. But last year when I bought mine the only things I liked weren’t cheap.

Also the killed the folio cover which is stupid. I loved easily being able to pop on and off the cover so I don’t get it all nasty.
