#Laptop #Gaming #Linux

It's a 15 inch device, with a 1440p display that refreshes at 165 hertz, with an aluminium chassis, a 13th gen Intel i7 CPU, an RTX 4060 GPU, as much RAM as you could cram into a laptop, and very solid I/O.

So, this thing is chunky: it's not meant to be an ultrabook, it weighs 2.1 kilos, or 4.6 pounds, and it's pretty damn sturdy. Not much give or flex to this chassis, thanks to the aluminium.

The hinge is really solid as well, with minimal wobble when typing. It's a 16:9 form factor. Of course you can open the laptop, and access the 2 M.2 slots for SSDs, the 2 DDR5 RAM slots, and the battery, which is 62 Wh. You can also buy spare parts from Slimbook, including the bezel cover, touchpad, lid, battery, keyboard palm rest, display, and more.

Now, in terms of specs, this laptop is well equipped, with a core i7 13620H, and an Nvidia RTX 4060, with 8 gigs of VRAM.

You can spec the rest up to your liking, with up to 64 gigs of DDR 5 RAM, at 5200 Mhz, and up to 4TB of PCIE4 storage.

You can also choose to dispose with the gamer branding and use a more unified black keyboard instead of having the white accents on the WASD keys, and you can pick any keyboard language you want.

As per I/O, on the left, you get a kensington lock, a USB 2.0 port, probably for a mouse, a mic jack, and a headphone jack. On the back, you have a mindisplay port, USB C 3.2 gen 2 with dusplayport support, HDMI 2.1, a gigabit ethernet port and the barrel charger, since charging this thing over USB would be a challenge. And on the right, there's an SD card reader, and 2 type A USB 3.2 ports.

On top of all that, you get Bluetooth 5.2, Wifi 6, a basic webcam and onboard mic that won't blow your socks off, dual speakers that are pretty decent, and a backlit keyboard with RGB, because, gamer.

In terms of benchmarks, the CPU get a score of 2733 in single core and 11625 in multi core on Geekbench 6.

Battery life is decent, with about 7h of generic office work with wifi on, 50% brightness, and using the silent mode.

In Horizon Zero Dawn, at the native 1440p resolution, without any upscaling, and at the ultra preset, the Slimbook Hero managed a super smooth 60 FPS.

For Shadow of the Tomb Raider, also at 1440p without upscaling, and the ultra preset, I got 99 FPS on average, sometimes going down to about 80, or up to 120.

The display is really solid, it covers 100% of SRGB, it has a refresh rate up to 165hz, and it's 1440p.

The keyboard is solid enough. The keys are very stable, and they have good travel. They're quite clicky, and the sound is pleasant, and they bounce back super fast, it's very nice to type on.

The touchpad is ok. It's smooth enough, and precise, although it's very off center, which I find annoying in day to day use.

Have things changed for Linux phones?

Many of us write opensource code in a void: nobody ever looks at it, uses it nor reviews it. We are the only users and authors.

In order to improve, where can we get our code reviewed? I don't mean professionally, just from like-minded individuals.

This is a discussion on Python's forums about adding something akin to a throws keyword in python.

And I'll show you YAML

Where are Purism, System76, Tuxedo Computers, Starlabs, SlimbookES, and others? Instead there's Dell, HP, ASUS, and Fujitsu...

You too can contribute to I2P, fellow anonymity supporter

https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/vps/

Pick Ubuntu 22.04 as your OS and follow the instructions on https://geti2p.net/en/download/debian

You can ssh -L 7657:localhost:7657 ubuntu@yourhostname, login with the password you from the link you got in the email, then open http://localhost:7657 and configure your I2P instance. For the bandwidth, you can enter 12500 up and 12500 down (100Mb/s = 12500 KB/s) with a 90% share (if you aren't using the VPS for anything else).

You can also add more tunnels on http://localhost:7657/configtunnels . For more information on tunnel types (exploratory and client) see https://geti2p.net/en/docs/how/peer-selection .

Like a TUI version of stuff like in the picture?

Basically a settings dialog with:

• all nvim options (in sections)
• a plugin section with
• installed plugins
  • toggle
  • configuration options
• available plugins

I was wondering why my speed was only about 250KB/s and I think this is why: there simply aren't many high speed nodes in the network!

If you have a VPS sitting around, just spinning, do consider contributing.

With a simple docker-compose

version: "3.5"
services:
    i2p:
        image: geti2p/i2p
        container_name: i2p
        restart: always
        volumes:
            - ./i2pconfig:/i2p/.i2p
        network_mode: host

you can have i2p running in no time. Or follow the official installation instructions

Simply SSH with a local port forwarding to the router console ssh -L 7657:127.0.1.1:7657 $yourHost and open http://localhost:7657/

You can then configure your instance to share bandwidth.

If lemmy had user-defined filters, I'd use them. Right now I'm downvoting the stuff, but there's already a community for musk-related stuff: !EnoughMuskSpam@kbin.social
