[...] I respect all my gadgets and I use them long term. Despite this, I had to change my screen once because on a fine morning when I woke up, I saw that half of the display is gone on its own. I had to change it's speaker once (6 months ago) because it stopped working all of a sudden. [...] The camera is also sh!t. "There was a problem starting the camera" is a message that I get everyday atleast once whenever I try to make a UPI payment via QR. [...]
[...] Scratches and dings included at no additional fee. [...] The "refurbished" machine had a proper out of the box experience and windows 11 professional; the used one had win 11 enterprise installed with a user named user --- I put a fresh copy of windows 11 pro on that (bios activation); after some judicious changes in group policy editor, and disabling the push content in the lock screen, it's not terrible. [...] and IMHO, having more bezel underneath the screen elevates the screen a smidge which helps ergonomics a tiny amount; of course, the keyboard is still an ergonomic disaster with the reach over the trackpad, but that battle has been lost for decades.
It's not cheap, though. Two weeks ago I bought a computer with a similar form factor (GMKtec G10). Worse CPU and GPU but same 16GB memory and a larger SSD for 40% the price of a base mac mini ($239 vs $599). [...] Even a used (M-series) mac mini is substantially more expensive. [...] It's certainly not cheaper if you just need a small box to make API calls and do minimal local processing.
[...] Im a landscaping contractor and my older Samsung has a few cracks across the screen from falling out my shirt pocket and onto concrete. I dont want an expensive iPhone or high end mobile, at $250 its fine and i love the finger print feature, saves time doing a PIN. During setup it was able to transfer contacts, apps, google account, except photos.
[...] My joke was that the model looked like someone had taken a paperweight, and smashed up a previously ordinary-looking building. It was crazy when construction started, and you could start to see elements of the building emerge, like, they are actually building that. (Though they left out the paperweight sphere.) Before it was built, a designer friend, who'd worked worked in a Stata building before, mentioned the frequent complaints of Gehry buildings, such as people in triangular offices, or with slanting walls, that couldn't fit a desk. Years later, I was surprised and deligted to end up working in Stata. [...] Space in the building was in demand by everyone, yet there were large areas of dead space. [...] Stewart Brand criticized IM Pei's building for the original Media Lab (E15), as not being malleable like the "temporary" Building 20, and maybe some of the same criticism applied. Though Stata, coincidentally built partly on the site of Building 20 that was razed for it, did incorporate plywood elements in the interior, I think as a nod to Building 20. [...]
Don't waste your money on Motorola, I have camera problem in just 25 days with no success in repair at service center, and they are not ready for replacement. Lastly I have to sell it.

Most HNers won't listen to you, but frankly they truly do not matter. There's a reason legislation like the Espionage Act, the G10 Act, and Official Secrets/NSA Act 2023 exist, and why personal heroes of mine like Abe Lincoln enabled their administrations to prosecute sedition during states of war and near states of war severely. Much of Europe has been seeing near weekly grey scale warfare [0] that in most other cases can be treated as an act of war. I had friends in Ukraine who acted the same until their family had to leave Donetsk due to shelling during the 14-16 period, and others who voted for Zelensky's olive tree which the Putin admin unceremoniously rejected in 2022 (at least Zelensky decided to stay in Kyiv and own up to his admin's mistaken policies in their beginning). Being well paid techies, they all paid bribes and left for Vietnam, the US, Germany, Czechia, and other countries while those who couldn't afford to leave were paying for those techies votes. So will other HNers (and Redditors) who act high and mighty until the shoe is on the other foot - they would all leave the moment war started with nary a sense of loyalty nor the wherewithal to support policies that can act as a deterrent. The kind of people on HN will keep their heads in the sand until they are personally affected, because people who base their life on ideals and ideology don't understand how messy the world actually is. Hell, most of them probably never heard of the 2010-12 purge China's MSS did against CIA informants - a number of whom were summarily executed in public in a government office courtyard [1]. Counterespionage is dirty work. [0] - [1] -
I have a CSE847 and HP DL380 G10 that have gone down for me due to power outages. Many of these look complex, and I basically just need remote power-on/toggle capability. Should I be looking at something else?

I didn’t know what other countries recommended for the Covid vaccination so I asked perplexity what the other g10 countries do for their policy. It seems like all g10 nations have risk-based recommendations and none for everyone in the general population. I find it hard to get clear reporting on this to differentiate what’s uniquely “against the science” vs just the US changing to match the rest of the world.
I am very much confused now sir,I finally decided Samsung F12,but it has gone out of stock 😣.I don't buy Mi phones,only choice was samsung and was considering this one because of its stock android type feature and no bloatware.Now I have shortlisted to Samsung M02s/F02s and G10 Power.I am a Cs Student,so I just need to do multitasking ,no gaming at all at any time,I want smooth experience for my day to day task and should last atleast 2 years,so according to you ,which one should I go for?

Thanks! I've had this phone for nearly two years and didn't know it had those hand gesture actions for light and camera!
My laptop has $ upower -i $(upower -e | grep BAT) [...] voltage-min-design: 11.58 V And I can charge it via USB-C using a 22.5W powerbank @ 12V (HP EliteBook 845 G10.) I guess that would be out of spec then? edit: nvm I didn't see the qualifier 'minimum'
HP publishes updates to LVFS regularly for both their laptops and their thunderbolt docks(!) I believe Elitebooks are Ubuntu Certified, which I would imagine gets their firmware updates pushed to LVFS. Personally, with the Thunderbolt Dock 4 and an HP ZBook G10, I have gotten timely (<30 days of release) automatic updates from LVFS for both on Ubuntu/Fedora with 0 effort on my part.
Baiya I have bought it today and I installed gcam mod but after installation gcam mod crashes all the time when I take photos
