Interesting, thanks for sharing!

That seems quite top of the line even today.
For battery life, the screen, the screen, the GPU (seems you use an IGP), the size of the screen, and the CPU are the main culprits.
64GB RAM will use some battery do you really need that much?
Hopefully your 1TB is an SSD otherwise an SSD is a nice upgrade.
There are also fat fat powerbanks for power users far away from a 110/220volt line!
I Am curious, most often power hungry laptops are gaming ones… What do you do with yours?
I feel you are onto something there ;-) what about everyone who wants it (and can) gets to work from home ?! :-D
Got a 3b a loong time ago and I love it, I use it as a jukebox and a tinker station.
Would love to get another one but man are they crazily expensive now. Tried the banana and orange pis and the are like okay but yep, they are different and doesn’t seem to have the same community at all.
Chip shortage please go away!
Edit: I buy old dell optiplexes for like 40€ instead but they do take up quite the space…
I think the guy who bought it is in for life though :-)
Someone believing the two rich guys would eventually fight (in a cage no less) should stop being so much on the internet and go outside a bit.
Do you thing 3dstudio would work in a VM?
Matrix multiplications could be at least somehow multi threaded and few fields has been more optimized than displaying 3D. Do you mean simulations maybe?
I would have thought they were done mostly on the GPU nowadays?
As we all did with winxp, hangout and even facebook, and yeah a whole slew of stuff that did seem nice at one moment.
The next moment it wasn’t there any more in the way we liked it!
FOSS on the other hand is here to stay.
Windows chance , and . depending on the language settings, so yeah so so simple and helpful :-/
And usability, windows gets more and more complicated IMO, and not in the “fun” way Linux can be completed.
Yeah but a “good language” isn’t some obscure, “better on the paper” language or some popular one, but one that has a large community, and not only in amateur circles.
That’s why C/C++ is so hated but also so much used. Python is way easier but has the userbase and the libraries. If you don’t need the speed, or memory management, you can do about anything with python.
Maybe Rust will take the place one day, or typescript, or kotlin, or JavaScript, or “insert new killer language” …
Python is used by the research community, and by a whole slew of companies since a long time. You have a problem? You’ll find the solution quickly.
Dealing with large projects? Go with C/C++ then ;-) I mean it’s all about architecture.
Yeah Julia seems to be just python but better (no GIL if I have understood things correctly).
Sure, but it does get compiler behind the scenes to pyx files.
Because we can take the needed wealth from the stupidly rich instead of trying to make old people drag on 2 extra years.
There is s lot of unemployment at over 50 too, and that will just cost the society anyways while bringing suffering (instead of retirement :-)
Python is basically (IMO) C/C++ made easy.
Billions of libraries, works on even obscure hardware, simple syntax, no compiling(it’s behinde the scene and just like always works) or linking etc. etc. etc.
Edit: this implies that C/C++ is the best language ever of course. Let the flame wars begin!
Like the two people configuring an auto reply when they went on holidays …
You can figure out the rest I guess, fun even if it wasn’t 15 million mails in an hour :-)
You can try a boot from usb key too for example.
Thanks for answering “the Yang” so that I don’t need to :-)
Remember, don’t feed the trolls !
I’m typing this on my lemmy “server” PC, an 8500 i5 running Linux Mint (and lemmy.mindoki.com yay !)
I keep my 2600X Windows machine but I more and more rarely feel the need to go back to it. Photoshop something quickly or scan or print something, got a lot of stuff on the drives, … not very much more! Guess I’ll have to deal with some specific stuff if I want to fire up my 3D printer, but once the change done, it’s done forever I feel, and not like every windows update you have to re-do/learn something again…
Ah, you wanted some sort of comment? Sorry, I was just ranting :-D
