In that case, count my recommendation as a framework. I loved my 13” 11th gen (I was in wave 3 initial ordering) when I was using it mostly daily. The battery was not great but did improve over the first year as BIOS updates rolled out. I retired that machine as a laptop by 3D printing their mainboard case and jamming all the internals inside. Currently using it as a network appliance but the case I printed did not have room for the battery. I’m gonna do that later so it has its own “UPS” so to speak. For now it’s on my makeshift stack of machines that I call a homelab and it powers several network services and runs Debian. I did not run Linux on it while it was a laptop however so I’m not able to provide data on its hibernation/sleep reliability or WiFi/ battery performance.

screen2gif. Peek is really good on the capturing side but it lacks all the editing tools like resizing, changing speed of each frame, removing specific or ranges of frames, inserting frames, drawing on frames, and of course exporting in different formats with very good compression options. I really miss being able to fine tune my gifs without having to open multiple tools or scripts.

same, likely switching back after a few good years with micro.

That’s what happens when the major incentive from subsidies and tax breaks is focused on SUV production. We need more regulation on safety and functionality as well as deeper incentives to cover the range of market needs instead of a single weight class.

We think you might be experiencing an emergency. Please hang up and call <country of origin emergency services number>. Have a nice day!

Yeah I second Jetbrains Rider. It’s fantastic on Linux and dotnet development has never been better with it. The only lacking thing is WPF but there’s open source alternatives that are actually cross platform and integrate just as well (AvaloniaUI).

I’m not sure LUKs can lock a drive that’s booted already since it’s not a RAM session like a live CD is and relies on the decrypted files to operate. This is why the encryption key is prompted from your boot manager prior to actually getting the system running. That said, I lock my computer all the time and just rely on the normal user password to get back in.

Just be careful, you could be held liable eventually.

what.cd was the best.

And not to mention the discharge efficiency curve. For LiPo batteries you will see a sort of “coasting” when the battery is at about 3.7v if your load is sufficiently small. But when it’s at 4.0v it will seem to drain quicker.

I have a 10000mAh battery powering a device that uses 10uA every 30 minutes for about 10 seconds. On one charge it should last about 1 year maybe a little more. The first 2 months it seemed like it lost a lot more juice than was expected but since then it settled in and is now ahead of its estimate. Which means it will speed back up as it goes down below 3.7v.

Me too. The ending is a definitely wanting but from everything I could dig up years ago, it was the best they could do knowing things were about to be shut down. So much potential, with and open invitation to continue/finish it later. They still could, all these years later.

13 years, cut and run when 3rd party app support was killed.
