lenovo. replaced my old dell precision laptop with a T480 and I'm loving it.

dell pros:

  • fast
  • solid gpu for the time
  • clean look
  • came with linux.

dell cons:

  • battery swelled up, made the trackpad and keyboard not work. replaced the battery a lot.
  • keyboard wore out well before lenovo
  • chassis screws fell out and then the hinge broke as a result. this is not a thing with lenovo.
  • front edge was too sharp and slightly cut into my wrists. not a show stopper but annoyed me the whole time I owned it.

For your situation 16G may be adequate. But 24 is better.

    years of being bullied? some kids kill themselves, others do this. many schools turn a blind eye to such problems, or blame the victims. also, of course, access to weapons.

    I agree that this is a willful misattribution of the real target of people's anger. Actually its class war, but the media adopts a greatly reduced scope for a scapegoat - what people are mad at is this one product from this one company, not surveillance cameras in general, not the surveillance economy in general, not the fascists who are striving to create an automated stazi to keep themselves in power forever.

    Uploaded a photo to make a post, was uploading another one for another post and it stalled out. Now trying to refresh the page, but it never loads.

    I'm able to access mastodon.social from another browser, and from an android app. So doesn't appear that the site is down or its an account level block.

    Is there some policy that blocks people uploading things? Can I expect to be unblocked one day?

     

    I'd like a metronome with the ability to give a count-in and quit, just to start a tune at the right tempo.

    So you'd select a tempo, say 120, and then click a "count-in" button or similar, and you get something like a 1.. 2.. 1 2 3 4 count in, but it doesn't keep ticking after that.

    There are a lot of metronomes on FDroid, anyone know if one of them does this?
