You could get one of those drying rack things with all the hooks/clips, put them all on that, then spin it and grab one at random

My brain, second is my body, third is my laptop

Is this on Linux or Windows?

Ooooh very promising

What’ve you got it throttled to?

Don’t, you’ll only make them worse

If you intentionally stir the pot and piss them off they’ll inevitably just go take it out on someone else and further reinforce their beliefs

Vaguely aware that’s a thing you can do, but I have no reason to use it as I don’t really watch anything on regular TV anyway

Interesting, is the CPU upgradeable on the framework? Could be nice to replace that later down the line when those come out

What’s the brightness like and in what country if you don’t mind me asking?

Tend to have my current laptop on full brightness all the time otherwise I can’t see anything, and I live in a generally pretty dark country

I imagine the broken packages thing are less about the framework itself, he’s probably using discord or other electron stuff right?

I’ve found when an electron package gets marked as insecure it takes everyone a while to update to the secure one

The clicking sleep thing is interesting one but at the moment I’m doing something very similar anyway

Not planning to give up on the trusty ThinkPad soon anyway

So far the evidence I’ve seen has been overwhelmingly that arm chips are way more power efficient

People say it makes no difference but I’ve yet to see an x86 device come close to the arm ones battery wise, seems like a strange coincidence

Ahh I see ok makes more sense

Already got thousands of lines of nix config so not about to hop distro lol

Ooh battery upgrades are a good sign, what kinda battery life do you get now with an unupgraded one?

Hmmm 3 hours battery is definitely a major downside, given it charges off usb c less of an issue but still

Was actually considering getting one of those copilot pcs once the Linux support catches up, supposedly people are charging those things once a week or so

Ouch if nixos doesn’t work well that’s a deal-breaker, what were the issues and how long ago? Other people seem to have had decent experiences with it

I’m not doubting it’s possible but with the combination of my hardware and the fact I’m on nixos it proved to be too much trial and error, too many options to try and too much time to iterate as I needed to reboot every time it didn’t work

Yeah to be fair I agree, I’ve been having an issue with suspend on my current laptop which I decided to just ignore in the end cause it was frustrating me so much

Though installing other people’s random scripts and plugins is a good way to get an unstable broken system

Nixos is great to still be able to fiddle while staying stable given you can just boot an earlier install if you fuck up, also throwaway dev shells with temporary installed packages. Might be worth giving it a go

If it doesn’t spin up at max CPU usage then builds won’t be a problem. I suppose ai might make it spin up but I’m not exactly doing that stuff every day anyway

Not number one concern but I need it to survive long enough that I’m not just permanently plugging in everywhere I go

Not as bad if it’s usb c charge I’ll have to check that

Hm, I think I need to try and track down someone local who’s got one and see for myself to be honest, I would guess places like pc world won’t have tester models

I’m not planning on getting the GPU anyway, most of my work is done from a terminal and a browser in a lightweight window manager, as long as the integrated graphics can handle that it’ll be fine
