This! They do _everything_. In the real world, there are a lot of things you need to run a business: HR, ERP, Financing, Cloud, Compliance, CRM, etc. There is really only one company who can sell them all to you on one…
I was also hoping they'd bring the Folio back. I've got an old Air that does need replacing and have thought about buying an M2 Pro just to find a used Folio with.
I've got an original Thinkpad X13s that I' picked up about a year and a half ago, used, for a travel laptop. It's hard to hate in the same way that M-series MacBooks are now. The battery life is great, the performance…
There's an SAE standard for this, but I _also_ don't want that. I rented an EV, and had to download an app, use 2fa, and store my credit card, to be able to charge at the hotel I was staying at. This was pretty crummy.…
I still hate that I can't just use a credit card + pre-auth (or even cash!) at an EV charging station like I can at every single gas station. The data! It's! Important! To! Investors!
This. Or a Yoga style fold-over in an 11" formfactor. I picked up an X13s (the ARM one) for travel. It's not perfect -- one thing I like about iOS is that the airline apps are kind of required for IFE, but, my X13s…
I was an SRE there (even senior SRE!) -- left in 2018 but have still been pretty in-the-loop for the past few years due to friends there. The question was, how long would thing stay up if everything stopped: the answer…
This is funny as I was just thinking to myself this morning, "My X13 is the worst Thinkpad I've ever owned". The S3/S5 issues aren't limited to Linux, they exist in Windows too. I've set my laptop to just hibernate…
E603, Research Methods, in the writing department. Among other things, I learned how to read academic papers and how to think like a researcher. A fun last day of that course was considering "real world situations"…
I miss both Maemo and Meego. I had a Nokia N900 that was great and then an N9 that I loved even more. Meego did use edge swipes in the OS which felt advanced at the time.
DOCSIS 3.1 has support for 1Gbps uploads.
Yep -- already they do, speaking as someone trying to find a manual BMW Wagon. The supply is already gone and has been for a while. The other comment in this thread on ever-smarter (cloud connected) cars too means that…
I think we'll see the opposite -- ICE vehicles are going to go up in price as collectors items.
As an Azlo customer, I'm super bummed. I think this is the weird case of BBVA closing their sort of B2B Banking business (underwriting?). What annoys me more is that whatever BBVA has to "replace" Azlo (or presumably…
"The data indicates you may be at a higher risk for something expensive, so we're going to start charging you more"
Sure, but the management overhead from 1 server to 20 racks scales, at best, linearly. I've seen a lot of places just past the point where a single sys-ad person with a thumb drive is viable, yet they choose to not…
This is the same with disaster recovery too. The idea that "oh, our main DC went down, we'll just spin it up in another region" is great until you realize that means you need reserved instances in another zone, that…
I'm super excited for this! It's a small step, but an important one. The whole premise of this, as I read it, was that while OBD ports are fair game (and any protocol over them), there is other data that is (often)…
It's very few and far between. I have a US-bank issues commercial card that requires a PIN. At least circa a year ago or so I hadn't found a personal one that did.
I would love to see this.
On this note, I got the 500nit e-privacy display and it's "fine". I don't love it, it's not quite as good as it sounds, but it's "fine". Viewing angle with the "privacy" part off is still pretty terrible.
In the X13 only the SSD is replaceable. I _think_ it has a slot for cellular too, but I'm unclear if you can use it for anything. Lenovo says that if you want cellular you have to specify at build because of antennas in…
If you really want you can get the T14s and swap the panel, but it's expensive and a pain, especially on a brand new machine.
I've got an X13 AMD with the 4750U and 32GB of RAM and it just dramatically outperforms anything else I've used. It's crazy. I bought it because I wanted a step-up from Intel CPUs that was worthwhile from a 7th gen i5,…
This is annoying. I recently got a 3D printer that actually works (as opposed to one that requires endless tinkering) and I've been using SketchUp a lot lately. Just today I encountered an issue with some bad mesh and I…
