Yes, to be specific the 42W model. I did the order in 2010, to be specific, so some time has passed since I did the tests.

Tangentially related, I got an androv full-spectrum lamp several years ago for some color work. It was one of the few true "full spectrum" bulbs you can get for cheap which are decently balanced without resorting to use a combinat

I disable smooth scrolling everywhere. I find it slow and distracting.

I'm not sure why people are surprised. Google has been downright evil for quite a while now. They do this in all their products, down to the point of intentionally crippling them. For instance, since Android 5, the standard contact app

Thank you for your work. I'm currently a tridactyl user. However I'd like to point out that none of these replacements can currently compete with the previous extensions in term of usability. Simply put, you cannot count on the

I was under the impression that these automated systems had "reduce personnel" as their primary goal, more than speed. This would explain why the bad, but still automated, scanning stations still exist. I've always seen a bag

These seems to be linux's own mitigations against L1TF. There's no mention about microcode being updated here, which I assume isn't the case. I assume the microcode update could be either equal o slightly worse in terms of pe

I already did it, and I'm really glad I can do that since I have no use for S0I3 and I'd rather have the extended battery lifetime. However on windows there's no way to disable this sleep mode, and the laptop has consequently

Linux shines also on low-end laptops as long as you're still decent hardware. Nowdays it's still generally an intel core with integrated graphics, memory and I/O controller, so the result will be pretty much the same. Old, g

How can you compare two different laptops? I'm comparing windows and linux on the same laptop. I personally use debian unstable with a tiling window manager (awesomewm) without a specific DE. However, I generally setup Mint for all m

Sure, however I really like to see what downvoters have to say. The "power management is bad" is pretty generic, isn't it? High-end laptop lines (Dell, HP, Lenovo) have actually pretty good linux support, they are almost alwa

As others have pointed out, I've used two kinds of self-checkout mechanisms in grocery stores (France). The mechanism in as shown in the article (bring all the bags to the check-out lane, scan, weight, pay) is just horrid, and way slow

As I follow unstable, I couldn't care less about the final releases.

This is a blatant lie that needs to stop. I've been using linux exclusively on laptops for more than 10 years. The first 5 with the HP EliteBook like, currently with Lenovo X1 line. On my current X1 Yoga 1st gen, I do regularly get alm

RawTherapee has the option to use the system theme, and I'm quite grateful for that. darktable on the other hand has basically one dark theme only which also shows stupid UI mistakes as black-overscroll-on-black-background in all lis

Every QML application I've tried was comparable to Electron in my eyes so far: slow and full of little usability bugs. This started to be really noticeable for me in the linux world, where QT is already common, but more and more UIs ar
