Not sure if Framework has a similar setting but we have seen this with Ryzen thinkpads specifically with Win 11. Our fix was to turn off the CPU Power Management switch in the Bios.

Completely agree. Google modern standby or hybrid sleep. Its terrible. I just full hibernate or shutdown when going into a bag. This is as true for my work thinkpad, as it is for my personal razer as it is for our more family/general u

Thats not always true. Just today my team was investigating why windows updates didnt install on server 2016 despite deadlines and specific updates GPO's set. We did have some tweaks as an outcome. But overall these policies have been

I would say part of it too is nature (vs nurture). Those same cousins never developed that propensity into adulthood at all. And its likely that was due to how well they were parented overall. Myself had a bit of a different household and t

Im not sure if we abided by the age of 2. But I will say we have moderated screen time, computer time and TV time (if they should be separated) and do moderate them. To the point that many of my 1st graders peers have much more experience w

Hardware generally is great. Biggest complaint is them swapping the fn and ctrl keys, but you can change that in bios. Most common failure points have been 1. Usb-c going bad on e an l series. 2. Chassis intrusion going off on t x or p seri

Right. But im supporting these in a business environment with users that arent techy. Windows is basically needed. Privacy isnt even on the radar. And secuirty is handled via companies like crowdstrike.

THey did VERY similar with HDD's. We were well into years of SSD's in laptops in the 2.5" sata format and Macbooks of the time (ie: 2012 models and even some after) were still chucking 5400 rpm spinning rust in there AND char

I manage a fleet of Thinkpads at work, all AMD for the most part. W11 and AMD has been fun. We had to disaple CPU Power Management in Bios and disable fast reboot as systems would struggle to come out of sleep. Multiple models had hardware

Im not so opposed to W11. From a privacy standpoint, W10 has seen most of the crap backported already so its a bit of a wash. Windows 11 is a bit different and does have some wonk still. But there are things integrated that are nice. I move

Generally long emails are hard to process. And most are multi-tasking when an email comes in. Even now I will often type a bunch of stuff and if the reply is longer than a paragraph, or needs multiple replies/input i will just ask for

We are definately on the opposite ends of the spectrum then... but I will say, as a fan of their work, i completely, 100% understand why you may feel that way. Ill just say i dont appreciate them for their lead singer in the slightest. In f

By most standards im fairly security conscious. IE: No listening devices/alexa/google home in the house. For the most part no cameras or mic's inside (obviously cant get past the phone thing). Generally i prefer to self host

It was. And I agree that plays a part. But Desktops are, by nature, much less accessible. Even a laptop is. You didnt have people nearly as commonly doomscrolling on the subway on the way to work, or in the car, or in the living room around

My rule is I unsubscribe once. Then I block the sender or in the case of places like nextdoor, the entire domain.

Google seems to do this from ANY mails coming from some of the major VPS providers. They do the same on my linodes as well, despite me having SPF, DKIM, DMARC and even reverse DNS properly configured...... Luckily for me, its mostly just fo

So you toss the “primary” in airplane mode and let the secondary check in to pass drm via hotspot when the kids are in the car. At least that is the plan.

I have also seen purchases on this card bump to 6% if you choose the no rush shipping option (which realisitically is the same as standard anyway...)

I would argue Microsoft is one of the better ones with respect to backports and longer term support. Others (cough google cough) are on the other end of that spectrum. I would imagine Nintendo is somewhere in the middle. That said, i still

I recall, at least some of the early models, using cheap TN panels designed only to last 5-6 years. However they required multiple thousands to swap (iirc it was 3-5k) and the car was basically non-functional without it. That is a very hard

I generally do my oil every 7500 miles using full synthetic. When I take it in for service I assume they don’t use the expensive stuff and chnage it at 5k miles. Either way, that’s 2x a year for me. I’m probably below average driving at jus

I never understood why a car company would WANT to do better than a software company. Just make something with fully integrated CarPlay or Android auto with a failsafe for rentals or those without phones that don’t want to pair. If you want

Even Toyota is moving in that direction. They put their remote start under a subscription model and to my knowledge haven’t backed off it despite the initial backlash. [1] And GM is removing CarPlay and android auto entirely from their head

Unlimited does. And it should. But if its your "lifes work" i would assume the value there is more than just the cost of storage. That the person storing it would have thought about ownership and egress options a bit further out.
