My Thinkpad X1 Carbon (gen 5) running linux can suspend for weeks without dying. There was definitely a window where battery life under suspending wasn't a huge problem in Linux, n…

For my Thinkpad X1 Carbon (Gen 5), I download the ISOs from here: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netb... And I use my re-write of geteltorio to flash it on…

Does anyone actually understand the consequences of turning ISO's into NSO's? It's easy for someone to say "oh yeah, just convert the ISOs to non-quals and give me my 10 year exerc…

It looks like they've consistently been on the high end judging by their past few years: https://www.apple.com/legal/transparency/de.html

Is there anything preventing the Linux Foundation jumping in and officially supporting a desktop environment? Is it because the two main DE’s are already more-or-less backed by a f…

Ha! Satire aside: With high quality open source publishing tools like Hugo[1] and Ghost[2], and free hosting from GitLab/GitHub pages, there's little excuse not to self-publish. Ev…

Can we change the title to be not click-baity?

It sounds like a signal to noise ratio problem. The problem is that there wasn't a sound way to filter noise (multiple channels failed) so they were forced to deal with all the noi…

How so? You try again when you fail like that Thomas Edison quote: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

I find that most drivers (that I've had) in SF drive for both Lyft and Uber so it feels wrong to say Lyft drivers are "happier", but I'm just a single data point.

Stoppelman tweeted a couple hours ago that they're going to expand support into AZ.
