I grew up being told to lock the deadbolt any time the house was left empty. Seems like common sense to me, but I suppose I didn’t grow up normal.

People lock their houses before going out of the actual house? WTF? A deadbolt is the only real way to lock a front door, and is often the only way it’s locked.
Interesting. Reminds me of Emby and Jellyfin…
I still don’t like the decisions Canonical is making.
Except then you’d be stuck with Canonical.
Noooo lmao, I bought it because I had the means and I thought I deserved to buy myself a nice tablet for once, instead of the shitty Samsung A-series or cheap Kindles I’d been attempting to poke and prod at… So when I heard about the M1 going into the iPad, I jumped at it. The “potential” was a bonus.
Now, it’s just a glorified youtube machine that occasionally sees OBD-II usage for my cars. Which my Pixel, or a shitty Samsung A-series, or a Kindle can also do.
cue RCR deep voice BUT IT’S GOT A STYLUS AND A KEYBOARD
I abuse the fuck out of my tasks list to help me remember shit.
I have an older Samsung chromebook loaded with coreboot UEFI firmware and boots Linux. Works…fine. It only has 16GB eMMC storage, so I think I will load a proper OS on a USB drive, hot glue it into place, and use that as the boot drive.
I can’t imagine how disappointing it must have been to shell out for an M1 Pro in the belief that Apple were about to beef up iPadOS. Then they…didn’t.
Yep. I paid ~$1200 for it and the Logitech keyboard case, right after it came out in 2021. First brand-new Apple device I bought for myself. And it is definitely the last.
That would be awesome. With legit Debian VMs and desktop mode coming to Android, I would love to see some serious development progress in that area. But we all know the big tech firms are gonna fuck it all up and neuter it.
I barely use my iPad these days. I’ll pull it out every once in a while, like if I’m sick in bed and wanna watch youtube for a few hours without holding my phone, but otherwise, yeah, iPads are kinda useless. They even suck at filling out PDFs.
I’ve got this little tablet…you know how so many people turn an iPad into a crappy laptop by adding a keyboard cover to it? Well Lenovo turned a laptop into a crappy iPad by making the hinge a floppy skin flap with a magnetic pogo pin connector. I intended it as a little computer I can use in the wood shop, I wanted something fanless and preferably with a removable keyboard so it wouldn’t be destroyed by sawdust that can run FreeCAD natively.
I have an 11" M1 iPad Pro with a Logitech keyboard case. It was intended to be my “laptop”. Clearly that didn’t work out, as Apple hath decreed that running full-blown VMs on hardware that’s more than capable of doing so is not allowed on the iPad, despite the fact that the same hardware runs Mac OS in the Macbook line.
I have a Thinkpad T14 G1 now.
but even something basic like a network ping is buried
Termux on Android solves a lot of that. But the touchscreen keyboard is definitely a tricky issue.
I work in a cleanroom. Can’t take a laptop bag in there. Sometimes it would be nice to have a smaller device to connect to a tool vias RS-485/232 and gather logs/teach robots/change controller settings - you know, simple tasks you don’t really need a “proper laptop” to perform. My work-issued T15 G2 is fine, but it runs W11 and is cumbersome when trying to work inside a cramped space or while on a ladder. A smaller device would be preferable. And my work-issued iPhone obviously has absolutely none of that capability, it’s only good for communication and taking pictures.
The 300W XE3 PSU should offer plenty of overhead for a quality low-profile GPU and an i7-7700k (though you can’t overclock it). Mine also runs a Precision 3420 CPU cooler and has an additional intake fan up front.
Deregulation is also foundational policy. Kratsios said that removing regulations that act as “barriers to innovation” will help foster progress in the technology stack within the U.S.
Jesus fucking Christ, right in the first sentence of the summary.
I have one of those running as a node in my proxmox cluster. Great little machines. You can hotrod them with Precision and XE3 parts, too, including the XE3’s 300W PSU vs the factory 180W unit. Drops right in.
It, along with the rest of the cluster, plus my NAS, draws about 100W average.
That’s a failure of the parent. My 5 year old likes to do the “color by number” things on my phone (waiting at dr appts and whatnot), and even she understands not to click on the ads, or to at least hand it back to me if one comes up.
First, if you’re on the go, do you need a computer with you?
That’s kinda the point of laptops
Second, if you do, that’s what a dedicated laptop bag is for.
Why should I have to carry a whole bag in order to have more compute power available than a phone? This is the same argument as “you already have a bag for your mobile phone battery if you want to carry it everywhere, but why would you do that?”
The answer to that is “because they can”. You don’t have to like it, but others do, so if you can’t understand the potential applications, then it’s clearly not for you.
My work-issued T15 G2 has a large keyboard with a separate 10-key. It’s glorious.
Can you elaborate on this some more? I’m familiar with logseq, but I’m genuinely curious on how you went about this.
