Haha. Well... good luck with that.

Elon Musk doesn't have a PhD and he didn't build any rockets.

The comments are negative because people hate facebook, and they hate Mark Zuckerberg, and they have good reason for that.

Would you stop BBQing if your neighbour complained about it?

The country is Bhutan.

Not an expert but I believe you'd need to enable a domain controller service like active directory, before you can be a domain controller.

I feel so bad for Hong Kong. So much spirit and culture will be lost from this transition to authoritarian rule.

I realize you're probably a true believer, but for a lot of people there is no truth. The bible is written by people, translated by people, and interpreted by people. I don't believe in your religion or any other, but even assuming it's true, the fidelity of the text is poor at best.

This site triggered an XSS warning from noscript for me.

What's the possibility of this being money, treasure, or some kind of bartering token?

Personally, I feel like I can do written communication without being passive aggressive.

Wow, and I thought having no 13th floor, or floors with 4 in them, was nonsense.

Put yourself in the shoes of the person you're talking to, and try to understand how you are coming across. How would you feel if you were them?

People sit in the back seat of cars too.

The complexity of the situation really goes so far beyond "good guy" and "bad guy". China is intensely polluted and wasting an insane amount of energy on a poorly performing anarchist monetary system. They have many incentives to shut it down.

The touchpad doesn't work properly on windows either, and the CPU draws a lot of wattage no matter what OS you use. I would bet on most people having a similar experience between the X1 Extreme and the X1 Carbon, but sure, maybe the design has improved too.

The fact of the matter is that the X1 Extreme suffers the same disease as many other Intel ultrabooks. It doesn't have sufficient heat dissipation for the processor, or battery capacity to service its power hunger. And it comes with synaptics touch pad.

That's what the thread is about. My recommendations are specifically about linux laptops, and why the X1 Extreme was a bad Linux laptop.

Have you used one of the other ones with Linux?

The touchpad is essentially busted. I get about 1s of lag before the cursor starts moving on every touch. I was hoping that improvements to libinput would resolve this but I'm starting to think it's hopeless.

The dGPU is useless with Fedora, my preferred distribution. (nvidia something or other) This isn't Lenovo's fault per se, but an AMD GPU would have Just Worked. The integrated Intel graphics are simply not performant enough to drive the 4K display.

Battery life is abysmal. I get less than 2 hours on a full charge.

The screen arrived with an obvious defect and Lenovo ignored my complaints about it.

The SSD's performance is worse than the one I have in my X1 Carbon, which is older. I find this bizarre and frustrating.

Stay away from the X1 Extreme lineup though. Mine is terrible and I would stay away from the entire segment.

Since leaving university, I haven't been able to read books unless I'm on vacation. Fiction or non-fiction.

I read all day long. It's literally all I do, aside from typing, at work. So the prospect of cracking open a book at the end of the day is less appealing than it used to be, when my day was more varied. (Classroom discussion, breaks for socialization or exercise, etc)

When I go on vacation, I typically read 2-3 novels. So while I'm reading less, I don't think I've lost anything per se.

It's a crappy metric. What about:

Time to stop from 60 mph?

Effective turning radius at 60 mph?

Interior noise in decibels at 60 mph?

Maximum shock absorption at 60 mph?

Wow, does it ever. This picture in particular looks just incredibly sketchy. https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/oYAZSOBmMEibujjd.med...

I would be scared out of my mind if I found that on my car.

Good heavens, not the brand!

No chance. Once the most cloistered people in our world are materially impacted, it will be far too late to mount any kind of response. It might already be too late.

John Steinbeck is dead, and the world doesn't owe him anything either. No need to scold people who are interested in history.

Yikes. I've been remote working for 4 years and I care a great deal about my coworkers, including the ones I've never met face to face. Hopefully they don't feel the same way you do.

The fine article

Seems some debouncing is required :)

Yes, it contains theobromine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theobromine
