> Another big problem is the mentality. "We have always done it this way" and "I don't want to change it" is extremely prevalent. I say this as a German.
Interestingly it's not only the domain of the conservatives (e.g. CDU/CSU) to cut any discussion this way.
Social democrats (and their voters) use the same argument, just in instances where it fits their program (e.g. labour laws).
> I really don't see a solid economic future for Germany when enough other countries implement more progressive economic policies.
The only party suggesting any such policies consistently fails to clear the 5% threshold as of late. Evidently, the electorate is satisfied with the status quo.
Yeah, I would call both CDU and SPD conservatives, SPD is just a left-conservative with a focus on labour rights. CDU is a bigger problem though, because their voter base is more loyal, and the only way their voters are going to migrate if CDU loses its grip is towards the far-right.
There's not much difference between the keyboard of the X13 Gen 6 and the keyboard of the MacBook Pro M1. I own both devices. The keyboard of my T14s Gen 1 on the other hand is noticeably better.
How’s ACPI and real suspend (not that “fake” soft suspend) these days? I’m still burned after running Linux on a laptop since 2002 and not having proper power management for suspend :(
… if it’s not the power layer, it’s the network, video, Bluetooth that won’t power up anymore after a nap
On a current ThinkPad? Essentially perfect. Zero problems suspending and resuming, no matter what's going on, including weird cases like suspending while docked and resuming while undocked or vice versa.
Do current thinkpads still have real suspend? I thought it was discontinued by intel. And if they do, how do you enable it? I haven’t seen anything in the bios of my p14s g6
Current ThinkPads have working suspend out-of-the-box, including turning off or putting to sleep peripheral devices, waking on keypresses or lid opening, and otherwise handling suspend/resume exactly as expected.
Isn't that the "modern standby" thing? Mine (p14sg6 intel) "works well" in that it suspends, wakes, etc (under linux, don't use windows enough on it to have formed an opinion).
But it doesn't support S3 (suspend to ram), only s0ix:
In both cases, the peripherals are put to sleep, and the RAM goes into self-refresh mode. The main difference is that if there are any bugs, they can be fixed in the OS rather than the BIOS.
I haven't tried this much on this Lenovo laptop, but on my HP ones, both Intel and AMD, the main difference I notice under Windows is that the laptop stays warm to the touch in this mode, whereas in S3 on older machines it used to go cold. Additionally, with both Linux and Windows, the battery drains much more quickly compared to the old S3 mode (even though on Linux it gets cold to the touch).
The HP Intel is the one I use Windows most often on (since sleep is basically borked on Windows on the AMD one), and on that machine, I actually hear the fans running while in standby (it wasn't actually fully on, judging by the LED pulsating instead of being continuously on). Which is absurd, since the fans are hardly ever audible under Linux in normal office use.
I'd consider System76 in that case, I don't think their fit and finish is known for being top tier but the specs are pretty good. Also maybe framework? The thinkpads and dells are probably mostly fine, you can always return it if it doesn't work.
Not just low key travel. Here in Europe, Mac keyboards have an anemic vertical Return key. Its widest point is as wide as the `\` key on a US keyboard. No such issues on ThinkPads.
I always get UK keyboard, not because of enter, but tilde and ` placement. CMD+` for window switching is so much easier on UK keyboard.
I was pretty pissed off when warranty accidentally replaced it with US layout (battery went under 80% which means top case replacement which basically feels like brand new laptop).
I had the same issue. The fix for this is to order directly from Apple and then to choose the “English (US)” keyboard layout. That way you get the ANSI layout :)
How do you use your agent effectively for executing such projects in bigger brownfield codebases? It's always a balance between the agent going way too far into NIH vs burning loads and loads of tokens for the initial introspection.
Not sure if it's just me but Handy crashes on my Arch setup. Never mind which version I run. Could be something with Wayland or Pipewire but didn't see anything obvious in the logs.
