but even things such as phone thickness are announced in ml

Phone thickness in millilitres? I knew they have a hard time mixing metric with imperial but this is kind of ridiculous

Krita isn’t a photoshop clone, it’s a drawing program.

I thought you were going to ask for better RISC-V support.

No, transmission-cli

Does it have a trackpoint?

Unless configured to explicitly blanket allow without authentication I don’t think you can run sudo from cron

I think your issue has been fixed: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/22289253

There are different flavours of Ubuntu with the other desktop environments (called Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and so on). The posted screenshot is indeed a mishmash of Gnome and Xfce though.

I guess they VC funding ran out

Not as an answer to the question, but on the same note: Maybe people could be made forgotten by everyone else upon their death. Like hard-forgetting they ever existed, erasing them, just for the sake of not having to bear the burden of loss.

Don’t trust Secure Boot.

That’s the second best thing as long as you don’t worry about nation state actors (you’re fucked by then anyway). Only requirement is a board/laptop manufacturer with a proper uefi setup (eg ability to set your own keys, not using those “do not use” test keys, etc) - that usually comes with business machines.

I got dropped out from university. I got a Microsoft Azure Fundamental cert since then, now I’m a mixed Windows/Linux sysadmin at an SMB. YMMV, I’m in Europe btw.

But… why?

The upgrabability of this laptop does have one caveat, though. The bottom is a bother to remove, and most Youtube crap conveniently glosses over them. For one, some of the screws would get loose but not come out all the way. I eventually found the trick was to throw some pry tool under the screw head to hold it up so I could get it the rest of the way out. After they were all out, the bottom cover STILL wouldn’t budge. This too ended up being a matter of jamming a pick in one corner of the case and running another one to slowly pry up the bottom case on all sides. I lost a plastic tab or two in the process, but that doesn’t show up on the outside, and I think 24 GB of RAM (and 2 TB of NVME 2280 storage + 256 GB, the Windows drive that I left in the 2242 bay) will be plenty for a long time.

It’s an E series ThinkPad. They are a lot less durable than any other series - they are basically the Dell Vostro of ThinkPads. (Even Dell doesn’t consider the Vostro line business ready now)
For the next best thing for a slight price increase would be the L series which is a lot more bulky and durable (and more repairable in fact - you can’t replace a keyboard in an E) which still doesn’t come with the premium price of the T series.

WSL is GNU\NT

Doesn’t surprise me that a developer from Microsoft doesn’t understand this. To this day, when I select “Update and Shut Down” in Windows, it only actually shuts the computer down about half the time.

There are some tasks that only can be done when the majority of the system is not in use. Windows prepares the files, reboots, does its thing in a preboot environment, then it actually shuts down.

Except the sims and pets themselves those were 3D models

Before that, we need to talk about the latent heat and the refrigeration cycle

Apparently they give 3 years of OS + 1 year of security updates now

Modern phones do a thing called “race to sleep”. If they’re awake every other background process also runs, so it’s beneficial to do the task as quickly as possible then go back to sleep.
