The ThinkPad P14s

Re: The ThinkPad P14s
#32This P14s is very nicely spec'd with its Ryzen and 32GB of RAM. Beyond their durability, stellar keyboard (with TrackPoint), OS compatibility, and overall value, ThinkPads have a certain additional charm I've never been able to explain.
I fell for the TrackPoint. I really miss the X200 that had no Touchpad.
Re: The ThinkPad P14s
#33I'm guessing the author's website is misconfigured. Every path except the root returns an HTTP 404, but the 404 page loads some JavaScript that fetches assets based on the URL. For example, the ThinkPad blog post loads https://utkarshsingh.xyz/assets/thinkpad-p14s/thinkpad-p14s.... This mostly works, but some browsers will display a warning or their own 404 page. Also it means his site won't be indexed in search engi…
Last I checked, this was inevitable if you publish a SPA on GitHub Pages, like the author is doing (GitLab not GitHub, but probably similar): https://gitlab.com/utkarsh181/utkarsh181.gitlab.io/-/blob/ma...
There's an open GitLab issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-pages/-/issues/57
Workaround: Publish the artefacts from CI/CD to Netlify or similar, where you can configure URL rewrites.

smh, I don't get it. Maybe just bad distros. Linux ARM on desktop is absolutely, 100% perfectly fine. Hell, outside of 3-6 random utilities, Linux RISCV on desktop is similarly usable (probably less if GHC started publishing riscv bootstraps). The only issue is if I need x86_64 emulation, but it's not like I'm hurting for access to an x86_64-linux instance, anywhere.
Re: The ThinkPad P14s
#35Same machine here as well, running the latest Ubuntu (23.10) power profiles do work but auto-cpufreq is way more effective in increasing battery runtime for me. I can get ~6h of runtime (~10W draw) if i mostly just code in VSCode + some browsing, with display at 1/3 brightness and the code being executed remote. Went with the OLED panel, so that definitively doesn't help battery runtime, but damn those colors are nic…
> more tuning so that some cores could actually turn off if they aren't used
Can't you control which cores you use or what you put on them with the kernel cmdline? On x86-64 I use cpu0_hotplug nohz_full=1-3,5-7 rcu_nocbs=0-3,5-7 irqaffinity=4

Yup. Axboe runs it daily on his Apple laptop. I’m waiting to see if we get M3 MacBook airs so I can get a used M2 air for cheap.
Re: The ThinkPad P14s
#37For what it's worth I just bought a M1 Pro 14" Macbook Pro. At Amazon, some of these are being sold as Renewed-Excellent condition. It has 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD. I paid $1380 after tax. I have prime card so I'll receive 5% cashback. It has 90 days return policy. It appears Apple waranty hasn't expired yet either (6 months) which means it was first activated 6 months ago. Its charge cycle count was 2 and the machine…
You can pay monthly for an indefinite apple care warranty. Kinda nice when the soldered on components die they’ll replace it.
I think the M3 stock outpaces the M1 Pro. Edit: seems to be a toss up. https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/apple-m3-vs-apple-m1-p...
Re: The ThinkPad P14s
#38I really appreciate "hardware reports" like this. Tangentially related, I've never seen this symbol before: ≍, apparently it means "equivalent to". Is this common notation in certain communities?
ChatGPT says it is not common outside of specialized mathematics
Re: The ThinkPad P14s
#39i have a machine quite close : i went for the p16s which is the 16 inches version. buying during christmas got me a price reduction and for 1100 euro i got a 7840U cpu, 64 gb of lddr5 ram, 1 tb samsung ssd, 16" low-power use, low-blue-light display, 89 Watt/H battery, 100W charger (instead of the default 65W one), fingerprint reader 5MPixel webcam and cardreader. for barely 1k euro you get an amazing machine. and it…
What a deal. Where did you get it from?

It's more about support for all portions of the SoC, I imagine. Even well-supported ARM SoCs (like the BeagleBone Black) are a pain compared to many x86, since there isn't nearly the same level of standardization
