wipe the linux partitions and get back to a life of convenience and productivity. until another 6 months have passed and I think “maybe this time…”

the second screen from a design point of view is way more interesting and isn’t just using stock wireframes

oh my god this is incredibly exciting! huge fan of e-ink. I wonder what the refresh rate is and how much impact the tech will have on battery life.

EDIT: should have read top comment 🥲

Holy Jebus, that is the absolute most bleeding edge phone I have ever seen, and it costs less than a Pixel 7a…

But agree with others that the software is a deal breaker. Loading this up with stock android would be a much better experience, but of course with roms there is a price to pay in terms of stability and compatibility.

Same. 3h or less usually. Love my colleagues, the work is fine. But the requirements are so low that I’m able to manage a startup during work hours 😌 #softwaredeveloper

Thinkpads tend to have excellent build quality, solid firmware and well thought out design. Price to performance on second-hand models is always outstanding and their popularity ensures hardware compatibility with Linux.

Of the brands you named, I just don’t trust the hardware. Tuxedo computers for example uses Tongfang white-label computers that they just slap their logo on. Quality control isn’t as thorough as Lenovo’s, firmware is sketchy, TDP tends to be all over the place and keyboard quality doesn’t come close.

Thinkpads also have-- and I can’t stress the importance of this enough-- a nipple. I don’t really use it, but if you try to take it away from me I’ll bite you.

This seems to be a serious downside to this system. Anyone who values a persistent profile is putting their precious data in the hands of some random instance that may or may not go bust in the near or (perhaps worse) distant future.

I’m on lemmy.world because it’s the most likely to survive

I joined another instance and it closed within 2-3 weeks…

I bet you’ll see a pretty tight correlation between rate of ticket price increase and rate of population growth. This isn’t a “capitalism ruined X” problem. It’s a “too many people” problem. When supply is so far outstripped by demand of course prices soar.
