Not sure if Framework has a similar setting but we have seen this with Ryzen thinkpads specifically with Win 11. Our fix was to turn off the CPU Power Management switch in the Bios…

Completely agree. Google modern standby or hybrid sleep. Its terrible. I just full hibernate or shutdown when going into a bag. This is as true for my work thinkpad, as it is for m…

Thats not always true. Just today my team was investigating why windows updates didnt install on server 2016 despite deadlines and specific updates GPO's set. We did have some twea…

I would say part of it too is nature (vs nurture). Those same cousins never developed that propensity into adulthood at all. And its likely that was due to how well they were paren…

Im not sure if we abided by the age of 2. But I will say we have moderated screen time, computer time and TV time (if they should be separated) and do moderate them. To the point t…

Hardware generally is great. Biggest complaint is them swapping the fn and ctrl keys, but you can change that in bios. Most common failure points have been 1. Usb-c going bad on e …

Right. But im supporting these in a business environment with users that arent techy. Windows is basically needed. Privacy isnt even on the radar. And secuirty is handled via compa…

THey did VERY similar with HDD's. We were well into years of SSD's in laptops in the 2.5" sata format and Macbooks of the time (ie: 2012 models and even some after) were still chuc…

I manage a fleet of Thinkpads at work, all AMD for the most part. W11 and AMD has been fun. We had to disaple CPU Power Management in Bios and disable fast reboot as systems would …

Im not so opposed to W11. From a privacy standpoint, W10 has seen most of the crap backported already so its a bit of a wash. Windows 11 is a bit different and does have some wonk …

>This is framed like a way to get free labor, and is a PR miss on the company. Not only that but it seems they are relying on free advertising tool under the guise of giving someon…

Generally long emails are hard to process. And most are multi-tasking when an email comes in. Even now I will often type a bunch of stuff and if the reply is longer than a paragrap…

We are definately on the opposite ends of the spectrum then... but I will say, as a fan of their work, i completely, 100% understand why you may feel that way. Ill just say i dont …

>but I can report that Jerry Finn didn't produce The Red Hot Chili Pepper He didnt but Rick Rubin did. And Rick Rubin produced a BUNCH of bands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_…

By most standards im fairly security conscious. IE: No listening devices/alexa/google home in the house. For the most part no cameras or mic's inside (obviously cant get past the p…

It was. And I agree that plays a part. But Desktops are, by nature, much less accessible. Even a laptop is. You didnt have people nearly as commonly doomscrolling on the subway on …

My rule is I unsubscribe once. Then I block the sender or in the case of places like nextdoor, the entire domain.

I feel like the inflection point was about here: https://imgur.com/ALMObBv Not that I am blaming porn. I am not. But once the screens and bandwidth became large enough, UI's easy e…

Google seems to do this from ANY mails coming from some of the major VPS providers. They do the same on my linodes as well, despite me having SPF, DKIM, DMARC and even reverse DNS …

Many orgs will use location and connection types to filter this. For example if i proxy my connections through a VPS or VPN i will OFTEN either be outright denied access, or at bes…

So you toss the “primary” in airplane mode and let the secondary check in to pass drm via hotspot when the kids are in the car. At least that is the plan.

I have also seen purchases on this card bump to 6% if you choose the no rush shipping option (which realisitically is the same as standard anyway...)

Yeah. It’s gonna be two switches on a single account.

I would argue Microsoft is one of the better ones with respect to backports and longer term support. Others (cough google cough) are on the other end of that spectrum. I would imag…

I recall, at least some of the early models, using cheap TN panels designed only to last 5-6 years. However they required multiple thousands to swap (iirc it was 3-5k) and the car …
