I don't really care about boot times, but as a tech guy 23 seconds sounds like an error to me and I want to find it and fix it :) Also, old laptops with dieing batteries (or new ones with always-on sensors such as fingerprint readers)

I haven't tested any of these myself, but this page contains some great suggestions: https://askubuntu.com/questions/10290/how-do-i-improve-boot-... The initial boot delay is VERY annoying. I wish libreboot w

I did that with 2009 thinkpad and it got much worse. I guess the cheap paste I used was worse than the 6 year old paste lenovo had used :( What _did_ help was to take out the fan, clean it and then oil it carefully (too much oil or doing so

> ... I find the boot time compelling enough (~23sec until login, plus 2sec to open the browser) that I do not need this. I think something is slowing down your boot, I get faster boot on a 2008 thinkpad running the same OS. OT: systemd

Serious question: why is this on HN front page? Am I missing something?

I am sure it is a great laptop, but it also looks like a X1 with larger bezels. Why would you want that instead of X1?

Thank you, I was hoping to get an answer like this! I also noticed that 3.1.1 is available on ubuntu snap. At this point I am not sure if I should go with snap or appimage. Either way, it is great to get packages directly from the developer

I think the title should be "Designing as a web Developer". There isn't really much in that post for you of you are not HTML guy.

OT: Krita and others are doing great things for content creators who want to use FOSS. BUT most of their work is lost to us due to the way distros handle external software. If you install Krita, gimp, darktable in debian you will get really

Serious question: this is the third time a exploit of this kind is publicly revealed for this app. How comes we don't see a global hack outbreak? I mean, script kiddies would love to break millions of phones. What has stopped them from

This project looks very interesting! And it seems they have addressed many of the issues with Chisel (of RISC-V fame) in Spindal: http://spinalhdl.github.io/SpinalDoc/chisel/

> Top comment is an apple fan boy desperate to continue to believe in apple and affronted by the existence of other laptops ... Unfortunately this is becoming common on HN posts that praise or even merely discuss another company.

I love everything about the ASUS laptops expect one thing: the mushi keyboard. Press the keys in the middle of the laptop and the keyboard flex with as much as 4-5mm.

High DPI is still half baked in Windows. I found this comment hilarious given who your employer is...

is it as good as the ones on the thinkpads?

The first gen X1 came with 8GB of RAM and standard SATA interface (is was quite bulky for that very reason). Maybe you are thinking of some other device?

by aiur3la 10y ago
X1 is business series, I think their "malware" was some analytics they installed on the cheap consumer laptops. (not that it makes it any better)

I think Debian & Ubuntu installs this by default for some crazy reason. Maybe it's time Linux distros learn what OpenBSD learned 10 years ago: more packages more problems
