It looks like it has web browsing support built-in in some form, but it's disabled at the moment. That said, I'm skeptical that it'd be able to "disrupt" google, as the track …

I'm not sure on this, but something that runs coreboot would have a better chance at supporting the proper s3 sleep, wouldn't it?

This was only required because they started selling very camo-like player skins which nobody wanted, and didn't even fix the issue very well. people just had to accept it, and I still regularly s…

Thank you so much, I'll check this out!

Wow, that's interesting. Do you think this is because they had to design this kind of system much faster than nvidia in order to release something to compete with cuda? Or are there other reaso…

Trying to figure out the ROCM hardware support page for a solid 10 minutes and then finding out my RX 5700 which would be pretty capable hardware-wise isn't supported was super frustrating. Accor…

That's true, and collective punishment tends to not be good long term. But you'd also want some kind of incentive system to encourage the department heads to actively discourage the behavior…

I think one way to start addressing this would be to increase the payouts people receive for abusive police behavior and have those payouts taken directly out of the police pension fund instead of nor…

There is also radium, which seems to be in the middle between renoise and older trackers.

I'd say discord pulled that off pretty successfully. For what made them successful with it was maybe having a very okay moderation and permissions system, and the user interface lending itself to…

This looks amazing, especially since it includes a REST client. Will try it out tomorrow!

I wish MediaTek open-sourced their drivers so we could see a PineBook Pro with a relatively capable processor, that thing with a higher res screen and a Dimensity 9000 would be amazing.

I just bought a current ProBook (445 G8) and the fingerprint sensor also seems to be unsupported. Great laptop otherwise though so far! I'll probably get rid of it in favor of a framework once th…

The Intel iGPUs have open source drivers in the Linux kernel, don't they? In that regard they're even better than amd since you don't need to get proprietary drivers to do compute stuff…

One advantage this model has is that once someone has bought a framework (and is happy with it) they are even more likely to stay brand loyal for their next laptop purchase than they would be with oth…

Hey nrp, I recently saw this video [1] which showed some major battery life differences between the i5 and i7 for Alder Lake which really took me by surprise. (22% battery on the i5 vs 38% on the i7 a…

This is off-topic, but the mobile wikipedia link you posted is surprisingly nice to read on desktop. Seems a lot more pleasant than the wide lines on the desktop site.

Same here, this looks pretty good,especially if the ryzen 8-core is 6th gen. Developers are always going to have very specific wants for laptops and classify anything else as a dealbreaker, which make…

Huh, that v-pro argument makes sense. Enterprises gonna enterprise.

Wow, that's quite a price jump from the i5 to the i7 and then subsequently to the 6 core one. Could you talk a bit about the economics of having hotter / higher end chips in a notebook and w…

Oh? I always assumed the Firefox feature would be fine with a master password and 2fa set up , but is a third party manager really a substantial upgrade security wise?

Does anyone know of groovebox / OP-1 or MPC-like projects you can do with a raspi? That seems like a very fun application.

They bought the cliqz team and their work / tech when that died, so I'd assume they're using what those people had been building.

Sick, I've been wanting something like this for a while! Do you plan to release the backend as self hostable to play around with it?

I've moved to flatpak for almost all of my apps, but for some hacky repackaged stuff like zoom the snap seems to work fine while the flatpak just doesn't for me on fedora.
