Late last year, the #Dell laptop (Inspiron 15 5405) I bought, broke. I had gotten it very cheap second hand (£250) and it was the best CPU I've ever had (#AMD Ryzen 5 4500U) attached to the worst chassis man has ever made; I can only describe the computer as having been designed by people who never used it, or even saw one assembled. The metal hinge bracket smashed the display due to the flimsy plastic screen housing. The second M.2 slot is physically unusable(!) because the speaker molding is too close for even the smallest M.2 board (2230?)

I've been limited to a netbook for the last few months and it's been hard work. 1GHz + 4GB RAM is hell when you're trying to do anything creative and switching to Linux in the process.

I've just ordered a new laptop, this time a Thinkpad T14s Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U / 16GB RAM. I would have been overjoyed just to stick with another 4500U as all my previous laptops were #Intel and performance was just utterly miserable, especially with games and I say that as someone who only plays games older than 2010!

The moral of this story is never buy a Dell, no matter how good the price!

Alguien nos ha traído un Core i7-14700. Es un Raptor Lake con 8 núcleos que se acerca al millón de puntos con los que consigue la posición 34. Queda un poco lejos que sus hermanos vitaminados K/F #hardlimit #intel -> hardlimit.com/archivo.php?n=22

@simonzerafa I mean obviously #reuse / #UseLonger is better and if your options are "corporate surplus" or nothing then I'd never judge.

To me it's just that #ThinkPad as a brand has really died as every single Device is a #downgrade in #repairability & #upgradeability compared to my #X230Tablet:

They have #SolderedDownRAM even on P-Series #Workstation machines, not just cheap cheap #Lenovo consoomer devices.
Batteries ain't toolfree-swappable anymore!
#WWAN modules are worse (i.e. #Fibocom #850GL aka. #Intel #XMM7360)
#Linux support gets worse and neither Lenovo nor @ubuntu feel responsible on a "#Ubuntu-certified Workstation" (i.e. #P15v)
Less & Worse #Docking options.
Most machines don't offer Linux or to eveb to opt-out of #Govware noone should pay their overcharged premium for (in fact #Microsoft pays Lenovo $25 for every #Windows #preinstall so they don't ship Linux, they don't even pay the $10 for an #OEM-#UEFI-Key, much less the $135+ of a #SystemBuilder version they charge for!)
...

Personally, I wish I had €.€€€.€€€ so I could just develop the #NUCbook and be done with the #Enshittification of #Laptops / #Notebooks!

Intels Magdeburger Bauland wird wieder bestellt

Weil Intel seine deutschen Halbleiterwerke vorerst nicht baut, nutzt ein Bauer die Fläche nun wieder landwirtschaftlich – und um Feldhamster fernzuhalten.

"#Peace through strength" is just a one big joke. Instead of blaming everything on #Biden, #Trump could:

- Send #Ukraine more military aid
- Sell Ukraine/EU more #weapons
- Put more #sanctions on #russia
- Temporarily bring down the price of #oil
- Provide Ukraine with #intel

Part of the surprising news from China today are new rules about chip makers like Intel and Texas Instruments. Many of which have factories both in the US and China. Complicating matters many US owned chipmakers ship intermediate and raw materials between their factories.

Dice el Youtuber #A1RM4X que los controladores de #Intel para sus gráficas Arc dejan mucho que desear. No lo recomienda para jugar. No valora la potencia de esas GPUs. Habla, claro, del controlador que no saca rendimiento que debería. Qué decepción con Intel, oye.

Aquí hace una comparativa interesante entre #AMD y #NVIDIA. Me parece bastante objetivo y sabe de lo que habla.
