Seit vergangener Woche fehlen zwei #Laptops mit mehr als 700.000 E-Mails zu der CumEx-Affäre, in die der deutsche Bundeskanzler verwickelt ist.

Wieso liegen die Mails nur auf den Laptops? Wieso gibt es von diesen Laptops keine Images?
Gibt es in Deutschland wirklich keine digital-ForensikerInnen oder ist das bewusste Inkompetenz?

A (trans) friend of mine got fired unfairly, and also her work won't make arrangements to take their equipment back. She asks:

"Does anyone know how to factory reset an Elitebook? It has one of those 'bitProtector' things installed."

Some of the hyperbole made by tech reviewers about modern laptops is just ridiculous.

You think the 15” MacBook Air is “heavy” at 2.7 pounds?

Listen up, junior: my 15” PowerBook G4 weighed 5.6 pounds and my PowerBook 5300 before that weighed 6.2 pounds.

Sure, the determination of “heavy” is relative, but even the current 16” MacBook Pro is only 4.8 pounds.

You would never have survived 90’s laptops. 😉

Something I'd be interested in that I can't seem to find:

A low-powered Linux laptop with an e-ink display, that I could use for long-form writing or coding.

What I've found so far are mostly either

  • Tablets intended for note-taking (like the ReMarkable or BOOX's various lines)
  • Higher-end where the e-ink display is an extra (like Lenovo's swivel designs where you rotate the display to use either an OLED or e-ink).

Some of the tablets do have keyboard cases, which would be better than just hooking up a random Bluetooth keyboard, but it doesn't look like I can just install programs on them, except for the Android ones, which aren't going to be ideal for things like coding or running build scripts or anything like that.

The closest I found was the Modos Paper Laptop, but seems to still be in the prototype phase.

Does this form factor exist yet? Am I just having trouble finding them because of the current state of search?

anyone in , , , or willing to trade for old ? we will install on them, put TRASH servers on them, and distribute them for free to whoever wants them! Also, if you don't want joints you can have cubes or made of trash!

ideally I want machines with a USB A port, that's how I know how to do an install.

we are building a really really free network! Going to push a shopping cart full of free down the street!

and hopefully we can find our waste streams!

🦾 ARM / Snapdragon X Elite on laptops with Linux :linux:

Qualcomm has been working to upstream Linux support for this high-end "System on a Chip" device asset!

◉Snapdragon X Elite is a bit of a momentum for ARM powered processing
◉Upon success it'll disrupt the x86-processor (e.g. Intel dominated market)
◉One of ARM's benefits is great battery life

Framework has largely delivered on its hardware promises, with a series of modular, repairable, and upgradeable laptops. But the company has struggled with firmware updates. Framework hopes to change that moving forward. https://buff.ly/3UnMdFS #Framework #FrameworkLaptop #PCs #Laptops #ModularPCs #FirmwareUpdates

Saw this on a Costco ad. Word of advice: DO NOT BUY laptops from this particular company.We did two years ago, and the one we have will not accept third party battery replacements (will not power up the machine with a third party battery), and the company DOES NOT sell replacement batteries. Yes, this is the same one with draconian printer cartridge restrictions.

Every time I review any hardware on the channel, I always get asked « where the affordable options are », so here are 2 from @slimbook, the « Elemental » line.

They start under 550€, or under 500€ if you don’t have to pay VAT, and they actually give you a really solid device for the cost:

Is it worth mentioning, in this context, Minifree as a supplier of linux laptops? They also sell *BSD laptops too. That's not even their USP, which is that they use (and indeed develop) libreboot - a FOSS BIOS for improved security.

So when you want to buy a Linux-first ready made laptop, you buy it from @system76 if you’re in the US, and from @tuxedocomputers if you’re in Europe.

Did i miss someone?
