I haven’t had that issue, and the battery life has been really good for me doing general things. Compiling hits it hard.

I have a HP dragonfly g2, 11th gen Intel i5, 16gb of ram, 2.1 lbs, 13” and everything including tent mode works on fedora. I got it on eBay for $275.

Maybe a local construction company dumping stuff?

I used Sublime Text for YEARS, then they kept changing the license and pricing model, so with everyone at work going to VSCode I finally gave in for scripts and web dev. For Java (which is a decent chunk of my day) I use Intellij.

I wanted a thin and light laptop for travel, I was looking between an X1 Carbon 9th gen, or a HP dragonfly gen 2, I ended up scoring a HP with a i5-1145g7, 16gb lpddr4 for $275 on eBay.

I’m so bad at remembering all these different Intel code names

Honestly, I had a game like this I couldn’t find, and ChatGPT figured it out in 2 messages.

Fusion? That would be big. The continual role out of green energy which can push the price down. The McRib coming back. Normal things.

Calling your friends house, and asking if they were home and could talk.

I don’t think it’s fair to jump on Microsoft for this one. Windows 10 has been out for almost 10 years. Apple gives less support for systems than 10 years, they are closer to 8, which is still a while.

If you bought a PC in 2018 or later it should support tpm in the CPU, if it doesn’t it’s on Dell or HP or whomever made the system. If you built a pc you can buy a TPM for most motherboards.

Microsoft said you can pay for updates for windows 10 if you want. If your parents core i5-2700 with 4gb of ram from 2012 will no longer get free updates… that seems fair… or go to Linux, but we know most people won’t. Honestly it would be a great time for a “convert to chromeOS installer”

And that’s why I like working from home

I would avoid centos stream like the plague. It seems a half supported thing that most of the industry has left.

There is also a big enterprise group who write extra verbose legacy java, vs a more modern light way to write

I have already seen my and other companies say things like “we were going to role vSAN but after our recent license talks we are not”

Android OEMs also get android…

I feel like anyone doing any automation with aws could hit this

It makes it not feel like a premium device

When debugging systems, I really like “w” it gives you a ton real quick

Another worry could be: how do you know if it’s a real victim who needs help, or an AI generated image.

I love the little robots
