How about ms-sudo/mssudo and ms-curl/mscurl

Ohh, my apologies for the confusion. I was just using Go as a menubar/tray icon application (with some OS-specific bindings) and meant to say that its performance was excellent. No electron involved

I actually did something similar: business logic and most things written in Go, but the menu bar or tray icon done in native APIs like Win32 and Gtk. It was surprisingly very good experience overall. I have tried so many ways around it befo

You're probably right. But the issue here is that they are providing a 180W USB-C PD rather than 240W.

Framework introduced Framework 16, a 16 inch laptop featuring Ryzen AI 300 series CPUs and NVIDIA RTX 5070 dGPU. The most interesting thing is that the dGPU is upgradable separately.

Yes, I can confirm. But i thought that was by design

I just recently watched it. Although the visuals may not match The Matrix, it was written very well. Found it pleasant.

I own couple of ThinkPads myself: an old L-series one, a T490 and lately a P16s. They all are fine. 45 mins on battery on best performance mode is very bad. I am currently using a P16s with an Intel's meteor lake CPU and an RTX 500 Ada

I know, right? In the US at least, they usually go on sale. If you can manage to get a corporate discount, you can get them at a sane price. At December, for example, I got a latest P14s at around $1,100 which is OK price for the machine yo

Around the holiday season they usually drop to around $1k - Time your purchase - get coupons - get a corporate discount if you can to get them at a sane price

You can even build a P1 with a whopping 8 TB of SSD storage. There are also plenty of other P-series thinkpads that you can get with 2 TB or more storage: P14s, P16, P16v

I think there are good ThinkPads out there. P1, P16s, T16, P14s Most of which support: - Up to 96 GB RAM - 8 TB SSD (Dual slots) - Upgradable memory and storage - 4K OLED displays - Excellent build quality What more is needed?

Yes The "true black" OLED displays have their part of the display off where there are black pixels, if I am not wrong. So, wouldn't dark mode suit well for those types of displays?

Is it just me or the latest chips from Intel look relatively better? I meant the Ultra Core 1 and 2.

I am basically biased towards discrete GPU = asking for trouble in Linux. Driver stability, less heat and fan noise, battery life is almost assured in the Intel iGPU.

by leeman2016 2y ago
Which processor? There U or the H?
22.
by leeman2016 2y ago
Is it the core ultra 155H? How is it efficiency/heat and performance wise? Was planning on getting one.

I wonder what the combined percentage of Linux usage is for personal use. The results (distros) add up to 61% which might be overlapping (one dev using more than one distro).

by leeman2016 2y ago
Not the parent, but my experience is very good. Right now for example, it’s at 44% after 24hrs from 100%. This is pretty sufficient for me

Got a (hopefully false-positive) virus alert on Windows 11 from Defender: > Trojan:Win32/Sabsik.FL.A!ml > Details: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker. Maybe due to UPX?

Aren’t those platforms for the dev machine on which you would write the code and build you app? Edit: looks like it’s for the server machine

You're right. 50 MB used to be big back then. I remember my rig back in around 2002 had only 96 MB of RAM. I used to get the best out of it using Puppy and Slax distros.

You're not alone with the cooking laptop in a bag running Linux issue. I had those in the past with Dell/Toshiba laptops in the past.

Used to be, in my opinion. Specially pre-2015. It has become buggy, slow and lacking features ever since. And let’s not get started with its monstrous setup/installer.
