You are right, we need a bit of patience. Reviews of last generation Thinkpads with AMD have been very positive. I hope the next generation will be even better. I would love to see one with 16:10 screen, but that's rather unlikely.

I have been waiting for mobile 7nm Zen 2 to get a new laptop. However, it seems most of the newly introduced laptops with Zen 2 are gimped compared to Intel counterparts. Some AMD laptops from Lenovo don't have a high-res display optio

Isn't that just marketing and wishful thinking? Not that long ago they were "predicting" 10nm process for 2016 [1]. [1] https://mr-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2016/02/Series-6...

When we consider deep learning practitioners and others relying on CUDA then yes, nvidia still has monopoly. But for gamers AMD's Radeon GPU is a compelling alternative.

I agree. But unlike cannabis, you are most likely to get positive results when you work with a right therapist/guide.

I have not used Fitbit in two years, but just logged in and deleted my account. They state that data is also deleted.

To those interested in the topic I highly recommend the podcast, that is mentioned in the article - "How to fuck up an airport" [1]. It is very entertaining, while exploring the topic in depth. [1] http://www.radiospaet

Most interesting Thinkpad mods come from China [1][2]. Lenovo keeps changing the Thinkpad line so it resembles Apple machines more and more which is a sad development (focus on form, not function). According to some recent leaks [3] more ma

Big corps love to brag about "adding jobs", but don't like to brag about the "tax incentives" they are getting. There are usually huge costs for the whole community. Austin tax incentives for Apple seem to be relati

I moved from USA to Berlin this year. Amazing city, but prices (rent+life) are growing rapidly.

I tried (stopped in the middle). The author expanded the original article without adding any useful information. He did a bullshit job.

@IntelMiner are you using Linux? What is the battery life on this machine?

Looks like rebranded Chinese laptop. Some Chinese companies sell very decent low-budget laptops (Chuwi, Teclast, Jumper, etc.) and some have full Linux support (according to reviews [1]). [1] https://techtablets.com/

Yes. München has a lot to offer, but my SO could not find anything for her. Also cost of living seems to be higher.

IMO this is very bad news for the economy. Amazon will do very well as a delivery service, because unlike competition they have underpaid and overworked deliverers. They basically uberified delivery. The costs are much lower, but delivery j

Nashville does not stand a chance. It is growing rapidly, but the infrastructure is not keeping up. It is a car-centric city with almost nonexistent public transportation. As a result there is a citywide gridlock twice a day during rush hou

Many countries have elections on Sundays to make it easier for most people to vote. Wouldn't advocating for moving the election day to Sunday be better alternative?

Not a video course, but an excellent book: "Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and TensorFlow" by Aurélien Géron. Provides a gentle and high quality introduction to Machine Learning with practice from the very beginning.

That's true. Buying Chinese electronics is a lottery (usually). I would, however, recommend some Xiaomi products. They are really excellent considering the price. BTW I actually ended up buying Sennheiser headphones after I returned th
