  • I use the T14s G6, running Fedora Silverblue, as my only PC. I bought it mainly for its AMD 880M iGPU, which just hits the performance I need for the few games I still play, as well as its mobility so I can blender on the go (and because I got fed up with the seemingly endless hiccups from my ASUS G14).

    It’s good. No issues I know of. The display is a bit slow even for a 60Hz panel, but the battery life is stellar (probably also because of the slow panel).

    However, if it’s static, as you say, I’m not sure if a small desktop PC wouldn’t be the better choice overall. After all, modern ThinkPads are pretty expensive.


  • The craziest thing for me is how some people cling to propaganda, even when it doesn’t match their lived reality.

    A friend of mine still insists that electric cars are [insert any cliché you know], and that they can’t make it up a hill once the battery is even slightly drained.

    We’ve been on several road trips in an electric car.

    With four dogs in a trailer.

    All across Germany and even the Czech Republic.

    And we (another friend who owns the electric road-trip car and me with my “city”-car) charge it at home, where we have a solar system and a heat pump.

    And yet, every now and then “this can’t work”. The dissonance is real.



  • This just reminded me of a classmate from my teens who once said, in all seriousness, “Hitler didn’t just do bad things”.

    And I replied, “Uh, yeah”. And in my mind, searching for something good he did, went like ‘he built the Autobahn’ immediately followed up with ‘well, that didn’t turn out to be the best idea either’, and by then the moment had kinda passed, and I couldn’t casually say “Well, actually […]”.

    Man, politics as a teenager was wild.
