I liked the server I set up the other day. 512 gigs of ram, 1 gig swap.

We're using maybe 100gigs currently.

Mac OS has has this nailed down basically perfectly for over 10 years now, even windows has been great in the last 5+ years. Not having scaling done right in the age of 4k displays being cheap is a sin.

I only use it for stuff for me. If you do a real name it’s more.

Namecheap because I pay 88 cents a year for my domain.

30% is more or less the standard. Not just in the games industry, but everywhere.

Ok so you hate android because you couldn’t stop tinkering with it and it got unstable?

It's unstable without tinkering with things too. Usually the OS is fine, it's the individual apps that are the problem, even the built in stuff from Google has problems. My current device isn't even some shitty Samsung or Motorola phone, it's a Pixel 4. What's supposed to be the gold standard.

You must the only one who is actually benefiting from apples anti-consumer practices.

Is preventing users from rooting their phone doing stupid shit and breaking their phone really anti consumer? Anti enthusiast? Yes. Anti consumer? Not so much. And it's not like you can even do that on all Android phones.

The UI and UX overall are so much nicer on iOS. Especially with gestures, Android's gesture system is half baked at best.

Sure you can't rice your phone, but I don't want to rice my phone. With Android I'm tempted to do stupid shit to my phone because I could, which then causes the phone to be unstable or just not work at all and I have to wipe and reload. With iOS that's not an option, and honestly I've grown past that shit. When Cyanogenmod died all interest I had left in Android died with it. And over the years I've found out I wasn't alone. Root is great, but have you ever just had a phone that works?

Even when I don't do stupid shit I've experienced so many bugs. My camera for example runs at 2fps on my Pixel 4, and I can't figure out why. UI and UX for apps aren't as rigidly followed on Android to the experience is a lot less consistent (insert Apple not following their own guidelines meme). And honestly I run into so many more bugs in various apps on Android. In the past year I've had maybe 5 app crashes on iOS using it as my main phone. On my Android phone I've had at least twice that + at least one full phone crash.

Also the SOCs available on Android phones are garbage. I haven't looked much into the SD 8 gen2/gen3, but I honestly doubt they'd be as efficient as Apple's silicon + deep hardware software tie in. (insert iPhone 15 overheating).

This change doesn't do anything that you couldn't do before. It's just a prompt forcing you to pick an option before you can access the web vs just having safari and needing to find an alternative. It's the same story as on a PC in Windows.

I use it because I'm tired of Androids shit. I have both an Android phone and an iPhone and I only use the android phone for things that I cannot do on the iPhone. And if I wasn't a massive computer nerd I'd just forgo the second phone entirely.

That's assuming they even read the message and don't just close out of it instantly.

Thats assuming that people are actually going to throw their computers in the trash when the OS reaches end of life.

Most people running these old machines probably won't know or care.

That doesn’t work well in a car though. It works in a phone because you’re holding it, or a trackpad because you’re putting a lot of pressure on it. In a car it’s already shaking from the engine, road, etc. Plus those taps are generally much shorter and lighter and less likely to feel the vibration.

That’s assuming the algorithm is sound. If the algorithm has a flaw then it’s only a matter of time until you can easily crack anything using it.

 

Does anyone have a copy of the original Windows 7 recovery media for the X1 Carbon Gen 2? I can find gen 1, and most other later gens. But not this machine. Currently it's running it's factory install, but it's horrendously slow and I'm not fully sure why. And sadly the built in create recovery media option says there's nothing to be found.

Does anyone else have any experience with these machines? Were their SSDs always so horribly slow? 550mbps read is good, but 100mbps writes is bad even by 2013 standards. The touchbar takes what feels like ages to respond, and with age has discolored in a really gross way. Overall it seems like a pretty well built machine. But man, what was Lenovo thinking?

 

I have a BASE model T14 gen 1 (1366x768 screen, lowest end i5, base ssd etc) and I was wanting to eek out a bit more performance out of this machine. It's quite thermally constrained with longer loads despite being the base model, and it's fan seems to barely move any air at all.

I know along with other T series you can install the heatsink from the higher end models with dGPUs and get much better cooling. Has anyone here done the same and can report back on performance differences?

Part No 5H40W36701 is the heatsink I have. Part No 5H40W36700 appears to be the model for the dGPU macines. Lenovo lists it as $61.16 for this part, but ebay has them for a little over $30. So the next question is it enough of a difference to justify it?
