That’s what happens when you’re a massive country and someone else tells you no. Hit them with the ol nou.

If it’s anything like their windows driver support then also awful. Maybe things have improved in the last year or so, but has Qualcomm ever put real effort into making ARM Windows laptops good?

5 has long overstayed its welcome.

Their passwordless login system is annoying as hell. I think I’d rather an actual paywall for all articles and a normal password over that system.

Or just have DLSS run the game at 480p, but upscale it to 4k! You’ll never notice the difference we swear!

The worst part IMO is that if they commented anywhere in the chain you’re blocked from that entire chain. Say you’re having a nice conversation back and forth about something, then they reply to the original comment (not even seeing you) now you’re blocked from the entire thread of comments.

Grub by default has like a 3-5 second timer on startup where you can pick between Linux, and whatever options there are.

Usually it’s Linux first, Linux with an old kernels/ safe mode, then finally windows.

In your recovery there should be a backup option. Pick that and back up everything.

Then make sure you copy that backup off the phone in case you really hose things and have to start completely fresh.

My Thinkpad P1’s is soldered :( At least that came with a good Intel Wireless card.

But somehow on my T14s (a much smaller machine) it wasn’t soldered.

But then on the bigger T14 it is soldered. So I have no clue what is going on at Lenovo. At least the machines with good wifi cards are soldered, and the shit ass ones are

There’s no drm on band camp

105c is the max operating temperature. It’s not going to run away the second it hits 106.

Your CPU starts throttling at 104c so that way it almost never hits at 105c for long If it can’t maintain clocks then it drops them until 104c can mostly be maintained.

Seagate has more than bad batches. When every single one of their 1tb per platter barracuda drives have high failure rates then that’s a design/long term production issue.

Why? It’s designed to run up to 105c.

I think it was when AMDs 7000 series CPUs were running at 95c and everyone freaked out that AMD came out and said that the CPUs are built to handle this load 24/7 365 for years on end.

And it’s not like this is new to Intel. Intel laptop CPUs have been doing this for a decade now.

AMDs 7000 series CPUs were designed to boost until they hit 95c, then maintain those temps. 9000 series behaves differently for boosting, but the silicon can handle it.

Not all laptops have replaceable wireless cards. If you have a thinner machine they probably soldered it on. But I can’t find any rhyme or reason to what manufacturers do and don’t solder.

I’d find a comfy job that’s easy to do even if it doesn’t pay the best.

What distro are you running? I can’t believe it wouldn’t flush cache before hibernating on any OS.

Those 200gb games take a while to download, even on a gigabit internet connection.

Pretty much no manufacturer is going to sell you parts besides maybe replacement feet. But the only things that fail on mice are all jellybean components.

Left mouse button fails? Buy another from mouser. Middle button fails? Digikey. Side button? Some other components selling company.

Outside of those super light mice there’s nothing special about any of them other than the exact layout, and the case. And the cheaper the mouse usually the simpler they are on the inside, and the easier it is to solder. Most PCBs will be single sided with through hole components.
