   I use my 2019 X1C 7th Gen daily and it's been the best laptop I've owned by a mile. Never skipped a beat. I immediately switched it to Fedora and everything worked out of the box except the fingerprint reader which started working

   Were you using Unifi VOIP or the enterprise Identity stuff? They're the only subscription things I've seen if you have your own controller. I haven't seen that writing on the wall yet, Unifi are one of a select few tech compa

   If you have to use Windows, just grit your teeth and use it. Thankfully I don't.

    It's still a craze but the people who want a nice keyboard to use daily found theirs and drifted away from the novelty/modding, I think. I've used a HHKB Pro 2 since 2010 and it's still going strong. I have a replacement

    I love that 15 years before winning an Oscar she played the mother of a boy with an arse for a face, too. NSFW, obviously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGvH86wfrzk And she was terrific in Fleabag.

    I recreated my several hundred line + several plugins zsh config in a few dozen lines of fish and one plugin (fzf.fish), about 8 years ago. It’s been a joy to use.

    This is an area I'm keeping an eye on - currently this 55" Gigabyte one is about as good as it gets, but it feels like it's straddling the line between monitor and TV, as it runs Android and supports CEC and eARC. https:&#x2

    They're pulling out all the stops. If you told me that whoever was in charge of the consumer versions of Windows was trying to drive it into the ground, I'd believe you.

    The same thing's happening to books where being seen as 'a reader' is a much higher priority than being well read. https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/booktok-tiktok...

    The GOV.UK website has a list of UK bank holidays on it. If you add a .json to the end of the URL you get this, a thing of beauty. https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays.json

    Nothing. fd, rg and ag all work how I expect them to work and the arguments and order fit in with my expectations for modern cli applications. They're recursive, they ignore things I don't care about and I can just give them the s

    I think the same applies for many of the new breed of command line applications like fd and ag/rg. Being able to use them intuitively trumps ubiquity, speed or features.

    I have a 4k 42" OLED Phillips Evnia monitor on my desk. If they sold a 4k 65-75" version of it, I'd buy it in a flash. https://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/42M2N8900_00/evnia-gaming-moni...

    I'd rather buy a 65-75" computer monitor and put it in my living room. I just don't care about the other things in a TV - I don't want smarts, I don't want speakers, I no longer need a tuner.
