I have had a new laptop for a day, and it's shit-hot!
Clearly aimed at gamers but the best spec I could find for development.
I went #Lenovo#Legion9 (max), rather than #Dell for the first time because the spec, and the fact my last Dell is faulty after 6 years (whereas my previous 15yr Dell is still perfect).
Lenovo support is poor, outsourced, unhelpful and knows less than I do.
Windows 11 was the only option, so no Ubuntu drivers. But ok, except the trackpad so far, USB devices on order.

Yes, refurbs can be excellent value if they meet your needs/wants.
I still have an working ThinkPad T41 refurb that I put Bodhi Linux on.
The #Windows11 setup yesterday shows me everything I've heard and abhorred about #Windows lately. Even after configuring for #privacy#Edge was sending all my clicks home and making this shit-hot laptop sluggish!
Pretty shocking actually. Enter Firefox and Brave [phew].
Savez-vous que les extensions de votre navigateur, peuvent dรฉgrader significativement le temps de chargement des pages web ? (Jusqu'ร 30% de temps supplรฉmentaire)
So, I'm doing some quick performance tests for my own JS game engine, and it turns out that the WebView used by Tauri is 40% slower than Edge itself.
A bit surprising but I guess Tauri adds some overhead, as the release build is also faster than the dev build - without doing any explicit call to the rust backend during the benchmark.
Oh, and, BTW, does anyone know what the crash dump logs browsers generate are actually used for? None of the teams involved in helping me troubleshoot my crashes seemed to be interested in them nor did they seem to have any idea what they would do with them. #crash#Chrome#Edge#Google#Microsoft
โ ๏ธ PSA: If you are using the ModHeader extension for #Chrome, #Brave or #Edge, uninstall it immediately! It has become spyware, tracks website visits and injects advertisement into websites.
โฒ @kurt@pod.thing.org:> ### Wir machen Lรคrm! Gegen Amazon und die Gentrifizierung unseres Kiezes!
Die #Gentrifizierung#Friedrichshainโs schreitet voran - nicht nur, aber besonders im #Sรผdkiez nรถrdlich der Warschauer Brรผcke. Die Preise steigen, die #Mieten auch, der #Supermarkt wird gegen Bรผrobauten ausgetauscht, #Clubs sollen #Hochhรคusern weichen - und in all dem steht dieser Turm, in den ein gewisser monopolistischer #Groรkonzern einziehen will. Wir machen Lรคrm und sagen: Nein danke!
Der bevorstehende Einzug #Amazonโs in den #Edge-Tower wird die Probleme im #Kiez nicht lรถsen, sondern verschรคrfen und verdrรคngen. Die sogenannte "Aufwertung" der Gegend geht mit der Zerstรถrung von Kiez- und #Nachbarschaftโsstrukturen einher. #Geringverdienende finden keinen Platz mehr im Kiez. #Hรคuser & Boden werden als #Spekulationโsobjekte noch interessanter. Und der #Tower beschleunigt all diese Prozesse noch weiter.
Um uns gegen all dies in Bewegung zu setzen und unserem #Unmut freien Lauf zu lassen, machen wir Lรคrm! Mit unseren Stimmen, unseren Instrumenten, mit Tรถpfen, Pfannen und Haushaltsgegenstรคnden. Denn wir haben es satt, dass die Entwicklung unserer Stadt wortwรถrtlich von oben herab passiert!
Deswegen seid mit uns laut - am 6.4. um 15 Uhr, Revaler Str. Ecke Simon-Dach-Str. (vor dem RAW-Gelรคnde)!
Wir werden zรผgig loslaufen, also bitte seid pรผnktlich - und bringt eure Stimmen, Tรถpfe, Pfannen, Instrumente sowie eure Familien, Freund*innen und Verbรผndeten!
Puisque #Microsoft permet enfin de dรฉsinstaller #Edge de #Windows simplement, je vous incite chaleureusement ร le remplacer par #Firefox ou l'un de ses dรฉrivรฉs ! :blobpatraccoon:
Salut les ludiques ! Il y a quelques semaines, je cherchais les aides de jeu pour le jeu de rรดle #NightWitches. J'avais fini par les trouver dans une bibliothรจque Mega. #Edge a mis ร jour son site et les a ajoutรฉes (c'est sans doute indรฉpendant, bien que j'aie aussi posรฉ la question sur leur #Discord semi-officiel). Merci Edge !
Pushing products on people that do not want them is not a good thing.
Luckily the EU has made it possible to remove Edge and Onedrive. I hope they will add Copilot soon.
IMHO there should be a clear line between what is on the computer and what is on the cloud, unless I opt-in otherwise for things like backup.
Similarly there should be a clear line when it comes to #AI. It must be clear when my data is local and when it is used for AI. What I do locally on my computer should not feed AI.

"Itโs worth noting that #Firefox is the only mainstream browser built on an independent, #opensource browser engine whose roots donโt go back to Appleโs #WebKit engine. Google based its Blink engine on WebKit, and Blink powers both #Chrome and #Chromium, the open-source browser upon which most other modern browsers are built, including #Opera, #Brave, and Microsoft #Edge."
Das BSI hat Version 3.0 seiner Sicherheitsanforderungen an Webbrowser verรถffentlicht. Interessant ist die ยปBrowser-Abgleichstabelleยซ - insbesondere auf Seite 8. Zitat zu Microsoft Edge: "รbertragung von Telemetriedaten lรคsst sich zentral nur in โhรถherwertigenโ Windows-Versionen (Enterprise, Education, Server) per Gruppenrichtlinie โAllow Telemetryโ bzw. โAllow diagnostic dataโ zusammen mit der Windows-Telemetrie deaktivieren."
I hope #Microsoft force all their #Edge browser staff to use all the stupid productivity hacks they introduce. "Hey, you opened up a website, so I'll consume a chunk of the browser window to show you the {Email | Teams chat} that you launched the browser from, even though you've still got it in another window."
I hope they have to use it every minute of every day and it slowly drives them up the wall.
I took some stuff from #Arc (like the noise texture, the border around the browser and some shortcuts like โ+T which now opens a Command modal that allows me to either open a new tab or search the web but also access to some shortcuts or settings)
I also took from #Edge (the sidebar tabs that grow on hover)
