Their higher-end models seem of nice build quality at least, but that's something I just expect at a certain price point.
Linux isn't even an option at my current job, it's WSL if anything. And that on the development machines only. Office work machines are Win 10 without any privileges, which I'm fine with. Employer pays for the time I take longer for certain things. His choice.
Unfortunately, there aren't that many great European options, so buying somewhat domestic is hard.
Ah, okay. I do have thinkpads for work, same at my previous employer, I'd say they're pretty forgettable, not sure I'd buy Lenovo for anything that needs to be particularly secure, just read the English wiki entry for Lenovo about security incidents, but I'd be more careful when procuring for work, especially in certain fields.
Excuse my smugness, but being excited for your premium laptop maker to bring back a feature that is standard basically everywhere (all of my four laptops have HDMI, and out of those, my two non-work ones also come with DisplayPort) is such an Apple thing
It's like these people claiming that you need that connectivity for a lot of work were right.
Ich vermute, Überweisung ist gebührentechnisch besser als PayPal?
Ggf. könntet ihr auf der Spendenseite noch explizit den Empfängernamen angeben, ich habe jetzt Fediverse Foundation genommen, aber direkt angeben wäre praktisch.
Rightfully criticizing Israel and the crimes committed in its name (also including settler violence etc) doesn't make you an antisemite.
Claiming Jews are evil because of that, ignoring those protesting against their government's actions, or voicing their opinion in diaspora, would be though.
Not getting my hopes up, but at least seemingly not another Russian puppet
"gamified investing app" should set all your alarms off
Currently, there's no serious discussion about removal from mainline. And LTS won't remove it.
Should it happen, you can still use Kent's kernel tree as before. Whether distributions ship it - who knows.
If there's no mainline or dkms support, I'll move my storage away from it in favor of btrfs that I've successfully used the years before instead of switching to LTS. Just because of future maintainability and migration options.
Nobody forced him to apologize. On the other hand, the Linux community isn't forced to take his patches.
While I understand the sentiment, I'd argue that an apology should be made in the same context as what you're apologizing for. Kent made his statements on the LKML - if his apology is sincere, I don't think it's too much to ask to put it there as well
So this is a retaliatory tariff and not actually one that makes particular sense otherwise.
It’s also creating demand for trucks that are terrible at doing truck stuff.
Yeah, they're garbage.
Saying “the market demands big trucks” ignores the billions they spend making the market demand big trucks.
It's probably some kind of feedback loop.
On the other hand, if just marketing budget created demand, they'd advertise these more here as not a lot of people own one. But someone figured out that that marketing budget would probably not yield an RoI, as opposed to the US. Though they're are probably practical factors at pay, like gas prices and road size.
If I had a different specialisation, I'd probably care. But my job is mostly reading and writing documents, and they installed Miktex on my office machine, so I don't want to complain.
We do have formal security requirements to meet though, and I think in general locking down machines in your network is the correct choice. But it's probably not needed in every job
