I'm looking to replace my family's laptop used mostly for web browsing, word processing, and making sure my cross platform apps work. I have a Framework Laptop 16 AMD Ryzen in pre-order which is supposed to ship next month.
Would a Surface Pro 9 or a Thinkpad X13s be a good choice for this use case?
Dla osób, które mają trochę starszy PESEL (starszy, niż 2000 rok), to pewnie ucieszy ta nowina :). #Kodźródłowy#Winamp będzie udostępniony 24 września 2024 :)
Ten post głównie zainteresuje adminów linuksowych, ale inni użytkownicy Linuksa także będą zadowoleni.
Wczoraj odkryłem ciekawy program, którego szukałem od lat :). Mowa o programie #termshark. Z wyglądu i funkcjonalności przypomina program na desktopa o nazwie #Wireshark.
Z opisu wynika, że obsługuje także inne platformy:
It's insane thinking about how #iPhone has nailed touch scrolling right out of the bat from the first phone, and #Android phones still have not figured out how to do it right. Not just on touchscreens but on trackpads too, only #Apple has managed making something as "simple" as touch scrolling as intuitive, magical, and true to life (instant response, the exact amount of weight and inertia as you'd expect from what you just did with your finger) SYSTEM WIDE (and not app-dependent) while #Windows laptops still makes you feel like you're better off with a mouse. I use an Apple Magic Trackpad on my #Linux PC and it feels great and was one of the best investments I've made, but it will never be as good as it'd be on #macOS and that feels like a crime. Since no one has figured it out, I unjokingly wish the EU or CCP make it compulsory for Apple to teach everyone else in the industry how to implement this seemingly simple thing, so right.
Spent the day installing #Mint#XFce to an old Acer #laptop of my sister in law's brother (I've converted everyone to #Linux in the family). Acer's firmware was very buggy, so it took tricks to load grub.
Installed them a few apps, and they will be super happy with their new (old) laptop. Previously, #Windows 10 was dying on that laptop, it was that slow, as it was swapping furiously! Mint loaded in about 1 minute, which is good (considering the very slow hdd).
After dealing with pre-installed malware on this mini-PC, I'm FINALLY done reviewing the hardware! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/459
"Besides the malware" does an Intel Core i9 make sense in a system like this?
Is there a #SteamDeck alternative? I seem to recall someone mentioning one to me like it was a less expensive no-brainer because it would also run some Windows software.
@punkscience_ns The main Steam Deck alternative out there is the ROG Ally. You can find used ones out there for pretty cheap right now, especially since they just announced a successor a few days ago, but generally speaking, not cheaper than a Steam Deck. It's essentially a Windows laptop in a different form factor. ASUS has its flaws (as does the Ally itself) but it's put a lot of support into the Ally, far better than the other competitors out there so far.
There's also the Lenovo Legion Go, the MSI Claw and a few other Chinese Windows machines, but all are either nowhere near as supported, nowhere near as cheap or just plain hard to get without signing up for an Indiegogo and waiting months.
As far as running some Windows software is concerned, most of these Windows based machines can be used as a full on desktop replacement when docked with keyboard and mouse if you wanted to do that (and I have done so for 6 months or so).
Hope this helps. If you have any questions, feel free to ask away.
How can you fail to love a city which has decorations like this not on a castle, or a grand mansion or its town hall, but on a tenement building? This is part of W.M. Whyte's 1905 Scots Baronial tenement on Broomhill Drive in Glasgow.
#Microsoft has opened access for Russian users to updates for #Windows and #Office, the #Russoft association told Izvestia. For example, Windows 11 23H2 is downloaded again on computers without a VPN, the situation is similar with Office. Previously, such updates could not be installed on computers from Russian IP.
In addition, Microsoft did not block Russian IT companies from accessing the software, although it promised to do so after March 20.
J'avais oublié qu'avec Windows, si tu déplaces/supprimes l'image que tu as utilisée pour ton fond d'écran, alors ton fond d'écran disparait. 🤡 #Windows
