I think for those who primarily work on AC and do not mind increased power draw, 12th Gen is a good choice. As a software developer, I appreciate a few seconds shaved off here and there. With good thermal design, 12th Gen laptops can be sil

3rd party GaN power brick is fine, not cheap (~$100) but works well at about 1/3 the size of the stock charger (which IS monstrous). I think later this year we might see slightly smaller HX form factors with Legion 7i and others coming

Interesting. I have a 12900HX laptop with 4 × 2T 980 Pro-s, upgradeable to 128G DDR5 RAM. It has a large bright 4K screen, mechanical keyboard with Cherry keys, and one PCIe v5 slot for next gen 15GB/s SSDs. It is cold and extremely qu

Oh nice, we just upgraded to 7.0 this week, it was not a daily issue, so perhaps now it's gone. Will try the collapsed threads as well! Thanks a lot!

Slack was fine for our team of ~10, but frequently blocked by Chinese great firewall, and overall experience was slow. We moved to a free self-hosted Mattermost instance and been using it for a better part of a year. Conversations are fast,

I do care about those things ;) > Hmm, how is it different from, say, `apt`'s security model? Core Debian packages are handled by Debian Security Team, Homebrew packages are more like npm, where anyone can upload anything at any tim

Without going into too much detail, I think my biggest gripes are: - outdated utilities, like `make` v3, that bite you in the ass every now and then, - Docker support is bad, it's slow and quirky, and I use it a lot for development, -

I cannot really accept a MacBook because it's a rental product where Apple has complete control over your machine. Used a Dell XPS for a while, it's a fairly good experience with Linux (Ubuntu and Manjaro), but the build quality i

There is a possibility, but I believe, if anything, it's either very far away or even completely impossible. I'm not a strategist, and trying to stay as far as I can from politics, but unlike Russian invasion of Ukraine, where oth

As far as I understand (unconfirmed directly), as soon as you have an ARC or a Gold Card (my plan), you can bring in your spouse (regardless of nationality) and children (I don't have any).

Another thing is that the Chinese society is still very much likes to "report" things. A few days ago somebody in my community went outside to throw trash, no less than 5 people in the Wechat group posted pictures asking "why

There are other factors at play. For one, I have a Chinese wife who has elderly parents (not in Shanghai), for now they fare well, but we might need to look after them sooner or later. Another factor is that I have a few years contract in a

Based in Shanghai since 2014, I can share some details on why it feels so unbearable to be here right now. Firstly, the totalitarian government have never been good at communicating anything except propaganda. So on one hand we're inun

You mean for editing? The part I worked on was not very large, so I had source mounted as NFS share. It worked fine, but I don't use much code intelligence. I think for the larger projects we had a local git server with some hooks to u

Revenue-wise, this customer works. It's also a household name brand that will significantly bolster our bargaining position, and improve our series X prospects. Just wonder if this is a problem many vendors run into, and perhaps there

Unfortunately, not. It's one of those smaller companies that developed k8s management UIs that got bought by a bigger company that offers k8s-as-a-service. So there is no code, there is no open access, you need to "contact sales&q

I understand, however no PII is involved in this case. The primary motivation is that "they're always being hacked" (words of their security team), so they try to run a tight ship. I can understand that. I'm hoping to fi

So much of the information in this thread is false. You don't need any special invitation or application to join the party. In fact, NOT joining the party can be a signal and a problem, which might complicate business setup, banking ap
