-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Windows 10 is falling apart – so it’s a great time to fall in love with a Chromebook | TechRadar | Mar 02 08:15 | |
XRevan86 | > My trusty Dell XPS 13, for instance, has been bugging me with its awful battery life. Not only does it only last a few hours, but it doesn’t hold its charge well either. So, more often than not, if I pick up the XPS 13 to work on it, the battery is dead. Windows 10 laptops have never held their charge as well as MacBooks or Chromebooks, and I’d had enough. | Mar 02 08:17 |

psydroid | Backdoors 10 must be like the most broken (pre-installed) version of Backdoors ever | Mar 02 20:35 |
psydroid | For the few minutes it was still on the hard drive of the laptop I have just finished installing Linux on, it was slow to boot and couldn't even connect to the network | Mar 02 20:36 |
psydroid | Which makes me wonder why people accept a broken configuration on their new laptop in the first place | Mar 02 20:37 |
MinceR | because they're brainwashed to do so | Mar 02 20:39 |
MinceR | e.g. it comes from a very rich corporation, so it's got to be great | Mar 02 20:39 |
MinceR | also, they've paid a lot of money for it, so, to avoid admitting having made a bad decision, they must like it | Mar 02 20:39 |
*lfam has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Mar 02 20:48 | |
psydroid | what is even more ridiculous is that these are machines from 2015/2016, so for acceptable performance people have to keep buying the latest and greatest hardware | Mar 02 20:50 |
psydroid | I don't see how this is sustainable | Mar 02 20:50 |
MinceR | it isn't, but humans in general aren't interested in that | Mar 02 21:02 |
MinceR | we will die out and then it won't matter anymore | Mar 02 21:02 |

XRevan86 | psydroid: For acceptable performance people have to buy SSDs, because HHDs just aren't fast enough for Шindows 10's file slaughter. | Mar 02 21:36 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-ircz.de | IRCZ makes your life worth living Post object | Mar 02 21:38 | |
psydroid | XRevan86, I have only SSDs in my own laptop (acquired in 2016 only after buying one in 2002), so I didn't realise how bad it was until seeing the terrible performance on these used laptops I recently got | Mar 02 21:39 |
psydroid | and what's more, successive versions of Backdoors 10 are also getting heavier/slower | Mar 02 21:40 |
*oiaohm has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) | Mar 02 21:49 | |
XRevan86 | psydroid: No, I think it's pretty much the same now as it was a few years ago. Although I've only looked at performance of tweaked ones (with removable crap removed). | Mar 02 21:58 |
DaemonFC[m] | <MinceR "we will die out and then it won'"> Coronavirus seems to only be killing people over 50 in the US. | Mar 02 22:02 |
MinceR | we have other means | Mar 02 22:03 |
DaemonFC[m] | I'm sure the politicians who didn't want to spend money on social security and medicare anyway are heartbroken. | Mar 02 22:03 |
DaemonFC[m] | If Coronavirus ultimately kills 10 million old people who were costing the government money..... | Mar 02 22:04 |
XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: Until it gets to their elderly arses. | Mar 02 22:05 |
DaemonFC[m] | MinceR It sounds gruesome, but the government saves a million bucks for each person the Coronavirus kills. They're not working anymore anyway. | Mar 02 22:05 |
MinceR | the more humans die, the better | Mar 02 22:05 |
*XRevan86 would rather avoid that fate for as long as it is reasonably possible. | Mar 02 22:06 | |
XRevan86 | A very unconventional take, yes. | Mar 02 22:07 |
DaemonFC[m] | https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/2/21161271/apple-settlement-500-million-throttling-batterygate-class-action-lawsuit | Mar 02 22:08 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.theverge.com | Apple agrees to $500 million settlement for throttling older iPhones - The Verge | Mar 02 22:08 | |
XRevan86 | psydroid: Another thing that Шindows 10 loves is RAM. Despite what was discussed with DaemonFC[m], the LTSC edition with as much cruft as it's even possible removable, it's not what gets preinstalled on shitty laptops with 2G (or even 4G if one wants to use a web browser) of RAM. | Mar 02 22:10 |
XRevan86 | psydroid: It would technically load, but not always before the sun sets. | Mar 02 22:12 |
psydread | yeah | Mar 02 22:12 |
XRevan86 | And of course they also have HDDs and not the fastest ones which just adds to the fun. | Mar 02 22:13 |
psydread | 5400 rpm HDDs | Mar 02 22:14 |
XRevan86 | To me the best part is that both the moronic manufacturer and the moronic consumer think that one any bloody level this can work. | Mar 02 22:15 |
XRevan86 | * that on | Mar 02 22:15 |
psydread | I measured something like 80 MB/s with hdparm | Mar 02 22:15 |
XRevan86 | But it's the kind of world we get – where even the lowest end gets the powerhungry monster as an OS instead of any GNU/Linux. | Mar 02 22:17 |
XRevan86 | "I don't want some weird aboontoo, I'd rather wait for 4 minutes until my fine investment gets to the welcome screen" | Mar 02 22:18 |
psydread | that's why my take on it is that the x86 world belongs to Wintel (Microsoft+Intel with AMD hanging in there as a pseudo-alternative) | Mar 02 22:19 |
XRevan86 | psydread: AMD got pretty strong lately. | Mar 02 22:20 |
psydread | I know, but it only reinforces this ecosystem | Mar 02 22:20 |
XRevan86 | psydread: It's mostly a note on the wording. | Mar 02 22:21 |
psydread | it's great that they offer an alternative, no doubt about that | Mar 02 22:21 |
XRevan86 | It's like Putin: technically an elected official, but I dare one to try to elect him out of the office. | Mar 02 22:22 |
psydread | but I'm getting spooked every time I have to go into UEFI to disabled Secure Boot permanently | Mar 02 22:22 |
XRevan86 | Just not going to happen. | Mar 02 22:22 |
XRevan86 | And the idiotic constitution amendments will probably get 90% of approval or something | Mar 02 22:23 |
XRevan86 | psydread: You shouldn't be, you should think that you've got one with that option available at all. | Mar 02 22:24 |
XRevan86 | A privilege. | Mar 02 22:24 |
psydread | Oh right | Mar 02 22:24 |
psydread | Another thing I ran into last year was this Intel RST (Rapid Storage Technology) being enabled by default and interfering with the installation process | Mar 02 22:27 |
psydread | My uncle even returned a laptop because he couldn't get any Linux distribution installed | Mar 02 22:27 |
MinceR | wintel alliance | Mar 02 22:30 |
MinceR | see also: uefi, intel boot guard | Mar 02 22:30 |
psydread | yes, that's why all of my hardware is several years old | Mar 02 22:32 |
psydread | and why I'm keeping this ARM SBC in sync running as my desktop with pretty much everything working with upstream code considering the relatively weak hardware | Mar 02 22:37 |
