| XRevan86 | MinceR: Funny. | Nov 26 15:58 |
| XRevan86 | buypass's is for 30 years, ISRG's is for 20 years. | Nov 26 15:59 |
| XRevan86 | ZeroSSL is a bit of a mystery. Their website uses Cloudflare's cert. | Nov 26 16:01 |
| XRevan86 | Gotcha, app.zerossl.com uses their cert. | Nov 26 16:04 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Is there much difference between a 250 and 300 nit screen? | Nov 26 17:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It says "anti-glare" on both. | Nov 26 17:59 |
| -viera/#techrights-Tux Machines: The 7 Best Wireless File Transfer Apps on Linux http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/144789 [https://pleroma.site/objects/6da4e878-f3c0-457c-9789-8db533e80624] | Nov 26 18:02 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | It does say it's an IPS screen. | Nov 26 18:05 |
| *tdemin has quit (Quit: leaving) | Nov 26 18:05 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | So that's good. I've used TN displays on low end laptops before and it was awful. | Nov 26 18:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also guessing the "nits" rating is with the brightness all the way on, which is going to turn it into a gas guzzler, so I never do that anyway. | Nov 26 18:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm considering going back down to FHD 1920 x 1080. | Nov 26 18:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Nobody really ever optimized for higher resolutions and it seems to just mostly waste battery and cause the graphics card to stutter. | Nov 26 18:08 |
| MinceR | indeed | Nov 26 18:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't really want to go lower than FHD, because everything seems to be well supported on that. | Nov 26 18:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Intel Xe graphics say they're twice as fast as the gen 10, which were already quite a bit faster than the Iris 540 in this thing. | Nov 26 18:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And the CPU is 5 years newer, and has double the cores and twice as much L2 cache. | Nov 26 18:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it should seriously outgun this thing. | Nov 26 18:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Maybe not by "more than double", but noticeably. | Nov 26 18:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Think it would be a waste of $42 to bump up from the IPS anti-glare 250 nit display to the 300 nit? | Nov 26 18:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I doubt that it's worth trying to save like $40 going with an i5 vs and i7, even though both do have the same graphics adapter and hyperthreading now. | Nov 26 18:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm still looking for performance numbers on this. | Nov 26 18:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It seems the big difference between them is the L2 cache, which the i5 part has 8 MB instead of 12. | Nov 26 18:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Same clock rate. | Nov 26 18:12 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC[m]: depends. i suspect it would only matter in bright sunlight | Nov 26 18:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It looks like the overall benchmark difference is well within spitting distance at this point. | Nov 26 18:13 |

| schestowitz | Bristows telling it like it's all done, but it is not | Nov 26 18:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But that's maybe what you expect when Intel panics over AMD getting better and starts unlocking their higher end features on a mid tier SKU. | Nov 26 18:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also interesting is this tremendous GPU upgrade just as Apple leaves. | Nov 26 18:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | An integrated GPU with an open source driver is benchmarking almost as well as a middle of the road Nvidia card that has a proprietary driver and lots of glitches. | Nov 26 18:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's pretty noteworthy for a lot of reasons. | Nov 26 18:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Hopefully this thing starves Nvidia to death on the low to middle end of the mobile graphics and the low end desktops. | Nov 26 18:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's already having a big influence on OEMs as we see with the newest Lenovo and HP products. | Nov 26 18:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They get a GPU that performs well when they pick an Intel CPU now. That will allow them to raise margins and lower prices to consumers and cut Nvidia out of the deal. | Nov 26 18:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Intel started to get serious about graphics a few years ago, and the Iris 540 was pretty not terrible when I bought this laptop. | Nov 26 18:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It ran Grand Theft Auto V at a stable 30 fps and maybe a bit more at 1366 x 768. | Nov 26 18:19 |

| DaemonFC[m] | A huge leap forward from "Don't use Intel unless you want to pitch the computer for opening Word.". | Nov 26 18:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What's interesting is that the i7 came out ahead on single core Cinebench, but on multi-core it was overtaken by its cheaper i5 companion SKU. | Nov 26 18:20 |
| -viera/#techrights-Tux Machines: GNOME, KDE Frameworks, Mutt update in Tumbleweed • sǝuıɥɔɐɯ xnʇ ☞ http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/144790 [https://pleroma.site/objects/13199aa1-e071-42d9-beac-46cf47710424] | Nov 26 18:21 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're running benchmarks on Windows 10, and while the process scheduler seems to have improved, Windows still isn't all that efficient with multi-threaded workloads. | Nov 26 18:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My guess is that something is going on here where having more L2 cache is causing more cache misses in some cases, and imposing a penalty vs fetching the data from system memory, | Nov 26 18:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Moving down the line, a bizarre pattern continues. The i7 wins in single core performance and is beaten by the i5 in multi-threaded performance. | Nov 26 18:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The i5 even manages to be 20% faster on HEVC encoding with x65? | Nov 26 18:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | *x265 | Nov 26 18:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | How is this even possible? | Nov 26 18:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Scrolling some more, and the i7 doesn't really start to kick the i5's ass on anything until you get down to the 3dmark physics stuff. | Nov 26 18:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Now, Geekbench shows the i7 racking up some big wins, and I think Geekbench is what Intel cites for performance claims. | Nov 26 18:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So maybe the test are rigged. | Nov 26 18:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: The interesting thing here is that people always ask why FLAC and WavPack (maybe others) don't have built in multi-threading support. | Nov 26 18:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And no matter how many times you tell people "Because most Intel CPUs do better on single thread and just launching multiple single-threaded encoder processes." the question appears to keep coming up anyway. | Nov 26 18:28 |
| MinceR | who cares about intel cpus though? :> | Nov 26 18:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And on Windows 10, you really want that behavior, but it holds at the CPU level itself too. | Nov 26 18:28 |
| MinceR | then again, if you're decoding, you probably don't want a system so weak that one core can't handle it | Nov 26 18:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Apple keeps saying "The most advanced desktop OS ever.". | Nov 26 18:29 |
| MinceR | and if you're encoding, you probably have multiple files you can encode in parallel | Nov 26 18:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think they've made such a fucking awful bastardized version of unix, that even Windows 10 fares better than that. | Nov 26 18:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It makes Windows 10 look downright competent, even. | Nov 26 18:29 |
| MinceR | they've made a version of crapOS on top of the ruins of 2 unix systems | Nov 26 18:30 |
| MinceR | there was no intention of making it work like unix in any way | Nov 26 18:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It seems that Microsoft has gone on a cleaning spree since last I really looked. Not saying much, but they've removed or slated to be removed a bunch of two decade old stuff that really has no business being there anymore. | Nov 26 18:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't know if they got around to the Windows 2000/XP style graphics drivers yet. | Nov 26 18:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They should really remove that right now. That has to be a festering mess full of security holes and lulz. | Nov 26 18:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And I cannot seriously believe anyone is running Windows 10 on something that came out in 2005. | Nov 26 18:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They need to completely remove the Microsoft Management Console and all its snap-ins. Not just hide them, remove them. | Nov 26 18:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They even admit that they're not compatible with US federal law from 1992 on accessibility to people who are disabled. | Nov 26 18:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I can't imagine the kind of management that authorized so many different terminals that are not compatible vs. extending cmd. | Nov 26 18:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Honestly, instead of this PowerShell mess they should have just bought 4NT and slapped it in there. It worked great. People loved it. | Nov 26 18:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You can use 4DOS as a command interpreter in FreeDOS. I do that in a virtual machine all the time, still. | Nov 26 18:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Anyway, back to the benchmarks. | Nov 26 18:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mozilla Kraken was the same between the two. | Nov 26 18:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Average Benchmarks Intel Core i5-1135G7 → 100% n=21 | Nov 26 18:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Average Benchmarks Intel Core i7-1165G7 → 104% n=21 | Nov 26 18:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm going to have to look further into this, but 4% overall (and trading paint throughout the tests) is really not a headline. It's within the error margin. | Nov 26 18:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Now, I suppose in real world usage, which is what Geekbench claims to simulate, if that holds true, the difference might be compelling. | Nov 26 18:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But Intel "sponsoring" them, that kind of....you know, something's rotten in the state of Denmark. | Nov 26 18:38 |
| MinceR | i thought compatibility was a major selling point for Backdoors | Nov 26 18:40 |

| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: So, am I going to go crazy with a IPS anti-glare 250 nit screen? | Nov 26 18:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or is 300 nits worth another $46 bump? | Nov 26 18:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Whatever I buy, I'm going to be stuck with it for another 5 years, so... | Nov 26 18:43 |
| MinceR | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | Nov 26 18:43 |
| MinceR | i suspect there are greater differences | Nov 26 18:43 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Well, Lenovo has like 6 or 7 configurations. | Nov 26 18:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But the only one that offers the 300 nit display is the one that's maxed out in every other spec. | Nov 26 18:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm looking at the Intel Tiger Lake version of the THinkbook 15 gen2 | Nov 26 18:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've had problems with Lenovo in the past on software and firmware, but the hardware is pretty good in my experience, with even their lower end stuff doing okay if not spectacular on that front. | Nov 26 18:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If they figure 95% of their customers are going to buy one with the 250 nit display, that's probably an indication that it's "good enough" on average to not piss them off and have people complaining on Reddit and stuff that they can't even see the damned thing. | Nov 26 18:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've used laptops that were 200 nits if that, and hated them outdoors and even indoors sometimes, but those tend to be Chromebooks with TN display and no anti-glare coating. | Nov 26 18:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In other words, they're scrapping every extra to hit a price point that people are going to pay for a netbook. | Nov 26 18:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If cpumark is any indicator of WavPack encoding performance, the Tiger Lake series should just tear through them compared with this laptop. | Nov 26 18:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I like to brute force to get the best compression possible, and it takes sometimes 10-12 minutes to get through a FLAC>WV transcode on my i7-6560U. | Nov 26 18:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Now with this thing, I'm guessing that it will get through the same workload in 1-2 minutes. | Nov 26 18:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Not only will it do that, but I might actually be able to do another task while I have that one running. | Nov 26 18:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Someone on Walmart said that they loaded Gentoo on this thing's predecessor and it just worked. | Nov 26 19:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Have a screenshot of it running GNOME. | Nov 26 19:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It comes with Windows 10 Professional. | Nov 26 19:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I might use it like that long enough to scope out which Linux distributions seems to work best in the live environment. | Nov 26 19:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But it's getting to a short list of which Linux distributions even work at all anymore, thanks to IBM completely wrecking Fedora and riddling it with bugs, and if you try to use KDE, may God have mercy on your soul. (Figuratively speaking.) | Nov 26 19:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think that's mjg59's current employer. | Nov 26 19:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They really ran Fedora onto the rocks it's got so many embarrassing bugs and they don't even care. | Nov 26 19:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Like, it's subtle at first. | Nov 26 19:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But they're so sloppy that even if it seems to work fine when you installed it, they'll break something major at some point in the middle of the release. | Nov 26 19:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And it may stay broken for a long time, and if they ever fix it, they'll just break something else. | Nov 26 19:03 |

| DaemonFC[m] | They say that all of the systemd hangs the system on shutdown, and it's really the fault of a service dont'cha know...... | Nov 26 19:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But I never had shutdown problems before systemd and now I have them on every computer that's running a recent Linux distribution. | Nov 26 19:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The fact that there are only two distributions that seem to care if everything is working okay and they're doing 99% of their work trying not to package systemd really says everything. | Nov 26 19:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And then even more of this Windows 10 mentality of forced updates and shit is coming down on top of us like a sack of bricks. | Nov 26 19:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's all so radical that every type of distribution has taken a giant leap back in quality. | Nov 26 19:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The LTS releases are maybe as stable as a Fedora or a 6 month Ubuntu used to be. | Nov 26 19:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The rapid releases are as stable as Debian Sid or Fedora Rawhide once were. | Nov 26 19:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The takeover, the burrowing. I'm not sure there will be compelling reasons to even try to switch your system over from Windows 10 soon. | Nov 26 19:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're on a mission so slowly corrupt Linux like some kind of insidious radioactive fallout that's constantly landing. It's like Fedora is fucking Chernobyl and all you do by installing something else is get a little further downrange from it. | Nov 26 19:08 |
| psydroid | Sometimes it takes 30-60 seconds to start up and 2 minutes to shut down the system on Debian, whereas OpenBSD starts up in 15 seconds and shuts down in even less than that | Nov 26 19:08 |

| DaemonFC[m] | You can get warranty up to 5 years, but you have to consider what it costs vs what's the remaining value of the laptop and what the warranty really covers, and how likely something is to actually fail. | Nov 26 19:24 |
| psydroid | People already pay enough for their hardware, so maybe they should just demand lower prices from Intel and MS and sell an honest product without spyware and adware included | Nov 26 19:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You'd have to add 15.5% of the laptop's price to get an extended warranty going out 5 years. | Nov 26 19:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And it's very unlikely to have a major malfunction within 3-4 years of purchasing it. | Nov 26 19:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | By that time, it's got so little remaining value that even if it's in excellent condition a pawn shop or Best Buy would be like "Oh just trade it in for an $80 gift card.". | Nov 26 19:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's a gamble, but like any extended warranty, if they weren't making more than they pay out, they would never offer it in the first place. | Nov 26 19:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You gotta remember, that this warranty is still just parts and labor and shipping. | Nov 26 19:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And they'll try to screw you by saying it's not covered or the damage was wear and tear. | Nov 26 19:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then take a look at this shit. | Nov 26 19:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You can buy a subscription to "Lenovo Smart Performance Software" for a little over $10 per year for up to 5 years. | Nov 26 19:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So, what the fuck is that, even? | Nov 26 19:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Sounds like the car dealership "Paint protection package" to me. | Nov 26 19:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You know, it's rustproofed at the factory insofar as that's even possible, but the dealer kindly offers to charge you for it again. | Nov 26 19:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then you can subscribe to Microsoft's "cloud" office software for $100 a year, which you could do after you bought the system for less (because even if you do want this instead of LibreOffice, you can buy discounted Office 365 gift cards on sites that buy them from someone else and use arbitrage to sell them to use at less than face value). | Nov 26 19:31 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: They had Nvidia SKUs, but honestly at this point you're just adding cost and complexity. | Nov 26 20:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Intel's integrated graphics are trading paint with the Nvidia discrete parts, and that's a totally foreign component to the CPU and requires the Nvidia driver too. | Nov 26 20:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We've seen all sorts of unpleasantness over the years on Nvidia laptop parts, and that goes triple on Linux. | Nov 26 20:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And so I'm happy that it's finally no longer even arguable on performance to go with an Nvidia chip, and that was one of the arguments in #fedora that I had. | Nov 26 20:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was like, "Why are you doing the heavy lifting for Nvidia on laptops when it adds more problems than it's worth?". | Nov 26 20:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And they go "Oh, there's just no avoiding them these days.". Defeatism, and not even remotely true. | Nov 26 20:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I didn't have any cards with enough of a limit to buy that laptop, but Lenovo lets you split the order between cards. | Nov 26 20:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I figured out how to go around my limits and get my 2% credit card points anyway, and then iBotta said they'd give me another $10 on top of that. | Nov 26 20:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, it appears that Lenovo's website only charges the Illinois sales tax, not local. | Nov 26 20:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So you pay 6% tax if you buy direct from them and if you walk into a store in Gurnee or somewhere, it's like 9. | Nov 26 20:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So buying direct might save you $20-30 on a laptop even if it's the same price as one in a store, and you can find it in a store. | Nov 26 20:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Fuck the government, they get enough. They get all of it eventually. You know, there is an inefficiency in raising taxes. | Nov 26 20:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because once you do to a certain point, people figure out loopholes which wouldn't even be worth the bother, or they factor it in and tamp down their spending, which lowers the need for labor and stuff, and so you lose payroll and income tax. | Nov 26 20:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Like, if Wisconsin charges 5% and Illinois charges 9%, and you live right on the road that separates the two states, and if you go to the Best Buy in Illinois and pay 9 and the Best Buy in Wisconsin and pay 5, then where do you go, assuming gas mileage is not going to be an overriding factor? | Nov 26 20:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, you know....A $1,000 laptop, you save $40 by going to the one in Wisconsin instead. | Nov 26 20:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And then Illinois loses 100% of their sales tax revenue and Wisconsin gets all of theirs, even though Wisconsin doesn't provide you any government services. | Nov 26 20:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then people avoiding tax pile across the border and there's more jobs and more corporate, income, and payroll taxes for Wisconsin. | Nov 26 20:27 |

| DaemonFC[m] | He yelled about GNOME closing his bugs because there was a new release and nobody ever bothered to figure out if the bug was still there. Then Apple did the exact same thing 15 years later. | Nov 26 20:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Almost the same blurb too. Something like "We closed your bug because the amazing new "insert version number" is here. Try that out and get back to us if it's still doing it.". | Nov 26 20:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So like, in 2019 they never investigated a bug from 2004, never bothered to figure out if it was still there across 15 years, and now they want him to go play with it and file another bug that will be ignored until 2034 when he gets the same email. | Nov 26 20:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And there's no telling how many systems and how many thousands of dollars he paid them along the way, when they don't even investigate, much less try to fix, any of their bugs. | Nov 26 20:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Lenovo be all like "Would you like the 5 year accidental damage extended warranty for only $213?". | Nov 26 20:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Have ya tried not spilling coffee on it? Just throwing that out there. Something to think about. | Nov 26 20:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I never bought the extended warranty on this thing. I chewed through a keyboard and managed to find one for $40 that got pried out of the same model. | Nov 26 20:53 |

| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Says my new laptop is WiFi 6 capable. The modem/router I'm using is pretty old but still fast enough for Comcast's basic tier. | Nov 26 21:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I saw no reason to replace it. The tier is 25 Mbps and the router is operating in "224 Mbps mode" from what I can recall. | Nov 26 21:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I don't really think WiFi 6 is a selling point for my use case. | Nov 26 21:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A more likely selling point would be the modem failing or Comcast telling me it won't be supported. | Nov 26 21:03 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I suspect that Linux will probably run on this new laptop. | Nov 26 21:09 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Reading about what improved each year between Skylake and this. | Nov 26 21:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Looks like Kaby Lake (7th gen) was just a small clock speed boost and some more video decode profiles. So, a souped up Skylake. Otherwise identical. | Nov 26 21:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If I had waited a few months and bought that, the HEVC and 4K video decode wouldn't have been so aggravating. | Nov 26 21:15 |
| psydroid | Less heat and a bit more speed are the only advantages | Nov 26 21:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Kaby Lake has a critical flaw where some short loops may cause unpredictable system behavior. The issue can be fixed if the motherboard manufacturer releases a BIOS update with the fix.[32][33]" | Nov 26 21:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, I'm sure Lenovo got right on that. Pfft. | Nov 26 21:16 |
| psydroid | Skylake gets so hot that I can never keep my laptop in my lap | Nov 26 21:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oh I know. | Nov 26 21:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It sounds like an Apache helicopter and burns your lap when it's running at full speed. | Nov 26 21:17 |
| psydroid | I even use it with an external keyboard and mouse as well as a TB3 dock, so I don't actually have to touch the laptop itself | Nov 26 21:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Intel actually had to release new software that only worked on Windows, which limited the performance if it thought the laptop was on your lap. | Nov 26 21:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then it didn't work in Linux and always ran the system throttled. | Nov 26 21:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because without instructions from that software, the system firmware defaulted to limited performance. | Nov 26 21:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think that was the "less heat" part of Kaby Lake. | Nov 26 21:18 |

| DaemonFC[m] | He should just tweak the order so the restrictions are exactly the same. | Nov 26 21:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's exactly what happened in Illinois, and Governor Pritzker's amended rule finally got upheld. | Nov 26 21:34 |
| CrystalMath | the decision was that these restrictions violate the first amendment | Nov 26 21:34 |
| CrystalMath | and they do | Nov 26 21:34 |
| CrystalMath | i understand that people voluntarily choose to keep themselves and others safe | Nov 26 21:35 |
| CrystalMath | so do i | Nov 26 21:35 |
| CrystalMath | i had contact with someone who turned positive over 2 weeks ago and stayed at home the entire 2 weeks to make sure i didn't catch the virus, just as a precaution | Nov 26 21:36 |
| CrystalMath | i wasn't even caught by any contact tracer, i chose to stay at home myself | Nov 26 21:36 |
| CrystalMath | i know people are terrified of this thing | Nov 26 21:36 |
| CrystalMath | the solution isn't to deliberately spread covid but to spread the true perspective on the deaths | Nov 26 21:37 |

| CrystalMath | it's just really hard to explain to people that they're taking their lives for granted, and the gravity of the fact that people die by the millions weekly | Nov 26 21:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I think from the money I paid for this thing, the features I regret the most are the 4K screen and the touchscreen thing. | Nov 26 21:41 |
| CrystalMath | staying alive is a difficult job, not a right | Nov 26 21:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I hardly ever used the touchscreen function, and 4K has led to numerous problems with application scaling. | Nov 26 21:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's nice to look at the screen, when the applications want to cooperate, but so little of the market has ever been 4K that developers just haven't made it a priority. | Nov 26 21:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I just don't see resolutions higher than 1920 x 1080 being practical or fully supported for years, if ever. | Nov 26 21:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They shoved a better display on this thing than the GPU was ever capable of driving in actual usage. | Nov 26 21:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You'd watch a 4K video and it turns into a slideshow. | Nov 26 21:43 |
| CrystalMath | also i'm gonna have to disappoint you, it appears that i didn't catch covid | Nov 26 21:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it's pretty clear that Lenovo paired it up with an underperforming GPU because they knew it added a feature to the checklist and it would look terrific on demo at the store. | Nov 26 21:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In fact, there were so many complaints from reviewers about the Intel HD 520 that they had to do a mid-cycle refresh with a Iris 540 that was 26% faster, and it still wasn't fast enough. | Nov 26 21:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I got the Iris 540 refresh and it's acceptable, until you want to actually use it for anything performance demanding running in 4K. | Nov 26 21:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The funny thing is that now that the Iris Xe parts are out, Lenovo has actually retreated from 4K screens and they're available on fewer models, despite the chipset being about 3 times as fast. | Nov 26 21:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it was just a case of mismatched components and then people ended up balking at the whole idea of 4K because the graphics chips weren't actually powerful enough to drive it. In fact, you can't even really game on this thing much higher than 1366 x 768 on games that were out in 2013. | Nov 26 21:47 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@liztormato: @schestowitz Noted. | Nov 26 21:47 | |
| schestowitz | see context there | Nov 26 21:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz on Shitter, I see. | Nov 26 21:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | @POTUS is Cheeto Hitler for another 55 days. | Nov 26 21:59 |
| CrystalMath | schestowitz: you should ask Trump to pardon Julian Assange | Nov 26 22:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: It was looking a lot like the US was getting ready to invade Venezuela for a while. | Nov 26 22:02 |
| CrystalMath | schestowitz: we all should, but i don't have twitter | Nov 26 22:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then COVID-19 became such a disaster that the idea of starting a war while it was going on became a lot less tempting. | Nov 26 22:02 |
| CrystalMath | maybe there could be a hashtag | Nov 26 22:02 |
| CrystalMath | #PardonAssange | Nov 26 22:03 |
| CrystalMath | @realDonaldTrump #PardonAssange | Nov 26 22:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The US economy is falling apart. Federal deficits are soaring. | Nov 26 22:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Makes war harder to sell to the public than normal. | Nov 26 22:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Illinois has completely unraveled and that's being hidden by direct loans from the Fed. | Nov 26 22:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This won't end. Regardless of what Pritzker says, this will be unending. | Nov 26 22:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Illinois has turned into the Greece of the United States. | Nov 26 22:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There are a lot of easy ways to save money that, frankly, I think they won't do. | Nov 26 22:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They'll just keep tapping a line of credit from the Fed as resentment from other states grows. | Nov 26 22:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's nothing the other states can really do about it except have Congress step in to try to cut off the line of credit, and then you have to deal with an entire state defaulting on its debts. | Nov 26 22:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I think what's likely to happen is this goes on for a while and then it will be the Fed itself demanding spending cuts. | Nov 26 22:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Just like the European Central Bank did to Greece. | Nov 26 22:06 |
| schestowitz | [22:03] <DaemonFC[m]> The US economy is falling apart. Federal deficits are soaring. | Nov 26 22:07 |
| schestowitz | Bush 2008 | Nov 26 22:07 |
| schestowitz | then came Obama | Nov 26 22:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They'll have to show that they're making progress on the structural deficit in exchange for more loans, and this will come as nobody else will agree to loan the state money. | Nov 26 22:07 |
| schestowitz | into chaos | Nov 26 22:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think the idea of giving everyone relief from their student loans is a bad idea. | Nov 26 22:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They should do some kind of program where people get like $10,000 of relief if they make under $100,000 per year. | Nov 26 22:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It would limit costs and it would be more stimulative to the economy. | Nov 26 22:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This idea of giving $50,000 worth no matter how much you earn is bad. | Nov 26 22:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It wastes a bunch of money on grad students who aren't being hurt financially by this at all. | Nov 26 22:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's just going to make blue collar workers who took on debt to go to trade or vocational school or maybe 2 years of community or state college because it's what was fiscally responsible even angrier with the Democrats and Biden. | Nov 26 22:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | $10,000 to them might wipe out all or most of the debt they're in and they'll be really happy to get it, and it will let them up for a lot of air. | Nov 26 22:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Biden can probably bail USCIS out. | Nov 26 22:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Congress allocates slush funds for DHS. | Nov 26 22:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It would be really funny if he cuts ICE by like 10% or something and hands it to USCIS. | Nov 26 22:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It would make Republicans' blood boil, and score a win for the base at the same time. | Nov 26 22:16 |
| CrystalMath | everything makes the republicans angry | Nov 26 22:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Now that a federal court has thrown out Trump's absolutely rapacious last minute immigration fee hikes, those aren't coming back. | Nov 26 22:17 |
| CrystalMath | even decisions made by other republicans | Nov 26 22:17 |
| CrystalMath | like this July, Gorsuch made a landmark decision that discrimination by gender identity is covered by the laws that prohibit discrimination by sex | Nov 26 22:17 |
| CrystalMath | and the republicans hated it | Nov 26 22:17 |
| CrystalMath | except for Trump, who was okay with it | Nov 26 22:18 |
| CrystalMath | but didn't care much either way | Nov 26 22:18 |
| CrystalMath | i think it's pretty clear that Trump is a populist... if he believes the people are tired of lockdowns, he'll be anti-lockdown, if he believes the people want them, he'll be pro-lockdown... | Nov 26 22:19 |
| CrystalMath | "whatever you say, just vote for me" | Nov 26 22:19 |
| schestowitz | 269,326 US deaths | Nov 26 22:24 |
| schestowitz | with corona | Nov 26 22:24 |
| schestowitz | not even counting it the worse way | Nov 26 22:24 |
| schestowitz | like "excess deaths" | Nov 26 22:24 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Microsoft is now pitching Office no matter what kind of computer you buy on Best Buy. | Nov 26 22:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They offer to sign you up for 12 months subscription with auto-renew and make sure to mention it even works on Chromebooks. | Nov 26 22:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's going to get really expensive. | Nov 26 22:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | $69 a year for the personal version | Nov 26 22:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Remember when people just bought it at the store, installed it, and used that version for like 5-6 years...longer even. | Nov 26 22:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Constant drip drip drip of blood here. | Nov 26 22:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Every 2 years, they get more money out of you than the version you'd use for 5 or 6 years cost. | Nov 26 22:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Windows 10 S was a ploy that backfired on them badly. | Nov 26 22:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They had to backpeddle from charging $100 once you got it home to turn it into Windows 10 Pro and let you run local applications. | Nov 26 22:31 |
| schestowitz | people can use libreoffice | Nov 26 22:31 |
| schestowitz | many do | Nov 26 22:31 |
| schestowitz | in schools | Nov 26 22:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Now they're pushing it as a mode, and doing their best to scare you that if you take it out, they'll ever let you put it back in that mode again, even if you reinstall. | Nov 26 22:31 |
| schestowitz | anyway, the surface of compettion changes | Nov 26 22:31 |
| schestowitz | like negative pricing for clown lock-in | Nov 26 22:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They say it'll get viruses and stuff if you take it out of that mode. | Nov 26 22:32 |
| schestowitz | and we just need to explain those things | Nov 26 22:32 |
| CrystalMath | schestowitz: hmm | Nov 26 22:32 |
| CrystalMath | it seems that deaths per day grew | Nov 26 22:32 |
| schestowitz | zoobab: ping | Nov 26 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yes, LibreOffice works perfectly fine on Windows. | Nov 26 22:32 |
| schestowitz | does the Dusseldorf attorney say anything yet? | Nov 26 22:32 |
| schestowitz | in his site or elsewhere? | Nov 26 22:32 |
| schestowitz | zoobab: I expect a complaint from him | Nov 26 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So even if you're never going to argue anyone away from Windows, a lot of the time they're pretty skeptical about a free office program. | Nov 26 22:32 |
| schestowitz | for FCC to deal with the actual substance this time around | Nov 26 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But many will install it and try it out because it doesn't cost anything. So nothing risked. | Nov 26 22:33 |

| schestowitz | I think Rump wants him replaced | Nov 26 22:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or can Biden just fire him? | Nov 26 22:34 |
| schestowitz | but Bye-Don can toss out whoever Rump puts there | Nov 26 22:34 |
| schestowitz | I hope Iancu (USPTO) is tossed out asap | Nov 26 22:34 |
| schestowitz | maybe not Biden | Nov 26 22:34 |
| schestowitz | It needs to go through the House/Congress | Nov 26 22:35 |
| schestowitz | he nominates someone | Nov 26 22:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Senate voted to reverse his repeal of Net Neutrality. | Nov 26 22:35 |
| schestowitz | it's clear his party wants NN abck | Nov 26 22:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So this could actually be achievable by Biden. | Nov 26 22:35 |
| schestowitz | and AShitPie trolling NN advocates was tasteless | Nov 26 22:35 |
| schestowitz | he'll go back to lawyering for telecom companies | Nov 26 22:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He could get rid of Pai and then have the Senate confirm someone who will put the regulation back. | Nov 26 22:35 |
| schestowitz | yup | Nov 26 22:36 |
| schestowitz | hopefully | Nov 26 22:36 |
| schestowitz | the worry is | Nov 26 22:36 |
| schestowitz | they can spread the anti-NN policy to other countries | Nov 26 22:36 |
| schestowitz | zero-rating is bad enough | Nov 26 22:36 |
| schestowitz | and related indirectly | Nov 26 22:36 |
| schestowitz | boosting monopolies | Nov 26 22:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We're even one seat up from the 52 vote majority the measure got approved with this time. | Nov 26 22:36 |
| schestowitz | worldiwide | Nov 26 22:36 |
| schestowitz | bbl, I want to write articles | Nov 26 22:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So Biden's FCC commissioner may get 53 votes. | Nov 26 22:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Which is well over what it takes to confirm someone now. | Nov 26 22:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Senate rules change sort of backfired on Mitch McConnell. | Nov 26 22:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Biden will be able to pick off more Republican votes than he needs (2) and appoint a cabinet. | Nov 26 22:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And possibly quite a few judges too. | Nov 26 22:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mostly, you don't need 60 votes in the Senate to do a lot of things anymore. The Republicans wagered that they could push Trump over the finish line again with cheating and sabotage. | Nov 26 22:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And they guessed wrong. | Nov 26 22:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And now they'll have a much harder time keeping Biden from appointing people. | Nov 26 22:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The state level Republicans who didn't go along with Trump's scheme to steal the election are pariahs now. | Nov 26 22:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because they followed the law. | Nov 26 22:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Let that sink in. | Nov 26 22:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They refused to commit felonies and misdemeanors to steal an election, and now they're gonna pay for that. | Nov 26 22:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The people who are playing along with the vote fraud narrative, in public, are not for real. | Nov 26 22:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're doing it because they know that most of their voters believe the election was unfair and rigged and will take it out on them unless they pretend to investigate things until the heat dies down. | Nov 26 22:43 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I'd say "Trump-style hype and premature victory laps in an effort to gaslight and demoralize otherwise rational people.". | Nov 26 23:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The point of Trump's election night victory party, which continued even as the results came in and showed a disaster unfolding, were to reinforce his own ego, and assist with the projection of him being cheated, and the only thing anyone there got was COVID-19. | Nov 26 23:08 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: This isn't it, but it is interesting. | Nov 26 23:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've heard chatter that just installing WSL2 on some laptops leads to weird ACPI problems. | Nov 26 23:38 |
| schestowitz | if you see them again, save pls | Nov 26 23:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: It's almost impossible to figure out the state of Linux on any new-ish laptop. | Nov 26 23:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You have to kind of buy a pig in a poke and see what you can do with it once you have it. | Nov 26 23:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Sometimes there's no problems at all and other times, they did what Lenovo did to me last cycle. | Nov 26 23:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I just went with the 250 nit screen this time. I have a 300 nit right now and I never use it at anything close to full brightness. | Nov 26 23:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I didn't see any reason to run up the tab on things I don't even use | Nov 26 23:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I wonder if Windows Hello is even legal in Illinois. | Nov 26 23:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Facebook just paid out $650 million in a BIPA lawsuit settlement. | Nov 26 23:46 |

| schestowitz | can you find typos in this? | Nov 26 23:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: They already whitewash Windows 10. | Nov 26 23:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Wikipedia lists it as "partially open source". | Nov 26 23:50 |
| schestowitz | lol | Nov 26 23:50 |
| schestowitz | well, | Nov 26 23:50 |
| schestowitz | open source is dead | Nov 26 23:50 |
| schestowitz | it;s meaninfless | Nov 26 23:50 |
| schestowitz | we call it openwashing | Nov 26 23:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "media attention paid to to" | Nov 26 23:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "some say livre" | Nov 26 23:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A census taker once tested me. | Nov 26 23:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I ate his livre with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. | Nov 26 23:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | (Just a joke.) | Nov 26 23:53 |
| schestowitz | “They already whitewash Windows 10,” Ryan told us moments ago. “Wikipedia lists it as “partially open source”.” | Nov 26 23:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: You might also mention that after "byuu" left Higan, his successors moved it to GitHub, where it is at risk from Nintendo, who likes to abuse the DMCA as it pertains to emulators. | Nov 26 23:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Whether they're in the right or not, they have a history, and Microsoft won't fight them, so the current Higan project is at risk of being black bagged and progress lost one day because of lawyers and Microsoft. | Nov 26 23:55 |
| schestowitz | added | Nov 26 23:55 |
| schestowitz | I did not know this | Nov 26 23:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Nintendo would be in the wrong here because back then, most of the hardware was a series of circuits and processors that were not abstracted away with firmware. | Nov 26 23:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And it has legal purposes, such as running homebrew programs and maybe even some actual SNES software that has since been open sourced and has nothing else you could run it on. | Nov 26 23:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Like that reimplementation of the DOOM engine that got opened this year. | Nov 26 23:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The idea that the SNES could run any version of DOOM at all, even one stripped down and running at low resolution, is pretty amazing. | Nov 26 23:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It needed SuperFX II, a co-processor that Higan can also emulate. | Nov 26 23:59 |
