Fair enough. I just operate under the assumption deleted means deleted, I’d never toss Auth keys in userspace but I could absolutely see myself placing them temporarily in scripts I’d delete later.

Honestly this should be treated as a security vulnerability as well as a general bug, no?

And definitely!

If I were to hazard a guess, they’re reusing a mobile board design for this somewhat and at least in mobile applications socketed dimms draw 30-50% more juice than soldered. It could also be the npu or gpu requiring the 5-10% extra memory bandwidth they get from being soldered. I do agree that I don’t think it was worth the trade offs from a consumer perspective, but framework seems to generally make good choices so I’m thinking there must’ve been some outside pressure at play affecting the financials of the project or something.

Can we get it to 99?!

I’d avoid mint if you have an nvidia card or newer hardware. They ship older more “stable” versions of systems packages and kernels that just make it a pain. You may try something with built in nvidia support like PopOs or Catchy.

Annoying as well. Goodluck convincing anyone to change it.

Wikipedia does a half decent job, we should probably adopt a model of their policies for open source code intended to be shared in such ways.

The admins finally decided to cash in their .sleep() bonus in the name of the greater good.

About to be 6.0000001% when my Kubuntu download finishes. I’m finally taking the dive boys, linux on main here we go.

To be fair to bottles, they cité that even their hosting costs are usually barely covered, so I imagine it’s running on a pretty lean/Foss dev budget already.

Size right for your setup and risk tolerance. Just know every outage can come with data loss. Most do not, but it is not a guarantee.

Is this one of those old obscenely small obscenely underpowered net books?

Your pi is idling at 4w? That seems quite high. Does it have a nvme drive attached or something?

UPS systems are generally configured for 90 minutes of operation, depending on the criticality of the system they’re connected to. The best ones are programable and will actually send graceful shutdown signals (when configured to do so) to your server cluster to prevent data loss that occurs during system blackouts. You can emulate this behavior on your laptop with a script that checks battery% every 10-15 minutes, sending a shutdown signal if it falls below a treshhold you set.

You’re mistaken. Laptop cells do not behave in this way or use LiPo chemistries. They’re Lion chems and behave entirely different.

Some won’t boot without a detectable battery cell. Depends entirely on the laptop in question what the best course of action is. Most newer bios handle charge profiles automatically and will prevent ac related damage but it’s all dependant on how they were designed/made.

Laptops run on “burst” computing profiles in a lot of engineering situations, occasionally this applies to both the thermal design (runaway heatsoak if used at full tilt) but also battery design. I’ve seen several machines that will dip into their battery in addition to the charger to boost performance and dump wattage into the chips beyond what would be available from the adapter alone. I don’t necessarily think it’s good design, but modern battery chems don’t really give a shit about up/down momentary charge cycles. Also the Chem they’re using is not LiPo based as that chemistry while allowing for significant amperage to be drawn, is not stable enough for a laptop that is generally expected not to ignite.

😂 fair enough. I’ve been /mostly/ enjoying the 1-connector for everything revolution myself. It is kind of annoying that I have to specifically search for cable brands that print what parts of the usb c standard they support on them though.

One connector to rule them all,

A maze of specs to blind them,

The consortium that forged them all,

in tangled cords will bind them.

🤔 literally why?
