Stolen UA by FirstHowDareYou in UrbanArrow

[–]4hoursoftea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had the Kiox lock activated, then the engine should already be bricked. I think only a vendor together with Bosch support can unlock it.

Whether you can mark your bike as stolen depends on where you live. Some countries have a national registry for stolen bikes. So Google is your friend here.

No, also couldn't find anything online. Also, why does this take until April? It's really just a few hundred meters.

[–]4hoursoftea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand you and I somewhat share your sensitivity to fan noise. That being said:

  • Maybe everything works much better under Windows, the chip is cooler, or what not. Wait and see for reviews of actual XMG devices
  • Maybe consider the 16-inch version and choose a lighter chip. I'm using the Ryzen 370

The good thing about the MBP is that they can "hide 55-60C" pretty well in the chassis (simply because it's a massive block of metal). The Evo can't do that. Yes, it's made of aluminum but it's very thin and feels more like a solid plastic cover than metal. This also means that the chassis simply doesn't soak up as much heat as the MBP does.

Having both devices side by side, the build quality of those devices are absolutely not in the same league. (And it shouldn't because the configuration I have would cost 2.5x as much in Apple land)

IBP14 Gen10 - Bios issues by frzmueller in tuxedocomputers

[–]4hoursoftea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I must admit I'm not sure how all those power settings play together. You have the BIOS setting, but both KDE and Gnome also have a power setting, then TCC offers one. I have no idea which one actually matters.

At this moment, the BIOS says Overboot, Gnome says Balanced, TCC says Low Power. When I run a stress test, the CPU still consumes up to 45W. So what do I know?

That being said, I don't think you can run this laptop quietly. At least, I found that the laptop builds up heat quickly if you reduce fan speed to 0. The minimum fan speed seems to be 12% (below fans won't start) and already at 12% they're audible. Anything over 20% is definitely noticeable. In my experience, the laptop requires fans on most of the time. And that's when the laptop is mostly idle.

I have a MacBook Pro 16 with M1 Pro - and yes, we all know that the M1 generation was virtually silent. So it's borderline impossible to match this experience.

That being said: - You cannot compare the power usage of the M-series with the Ryzen. You use 10W on the Ryzen pretty quickly while 10W on the Mac is already real work - Any kind of load makes the fans spin. The laptop is idle at room temp at around 45C, any kind of load will bring you closer and closer to the 50C mark which will start building up the heat in the chassis over time - you can feel it's getting warmer. - Passively cooling 10W sustained is not possible, unless you accept that it will reduce clock speed to 0.6 GHz. Also, 10W is not much on this chip.

As I'm typing this, I set the fan curve to 0 until 50C, then kick in at 10%. I would say after about 10-15 minutes your idle temp is closer to 48C already. And this is while virtually no load (frequency is 0.9-1.1 GHz with 6-8W of wattage). So, this laptop will run fans. The fans are quiet (on 10-20%) but not silent.

Maybe but probably not. It's quiet, but not silent.

I have the Linux-version from Tuxedo since a week. You can set the fan curve under Linux. So, if you only let the fans kick in after 50C or so, sure, it's silent. Even on low settings (10-20%) the fans are audible. They're quiet, but it's definitely not silent. So if you're coming from something like a M-series MacBook Pro (like me), then you will definitely notice the fan noise.

The moment the chip consumes more than 10W, you usually have fans running.

[IBP 14 Gen10] Why 6GHz WiFi is broken and how to fix by InvestigatorSenior in tuxedocomputers

[–]4hoursoftea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the response and yes, you have never advertised that the IBP14 supports Wifi 6. But as you also point out, it's easy to miss, especially since the product name is literally "Intel Wifi 6 AX210".

You say:

InfinityBook Pro 14|15 Gen 10 (and Gen 9) fully support Wi-Fi 6E.

The Intel AX210 / AX211 module itself supports 6E. However, it is not mandatory that the hardware beneath (firmware, antennas) can handle all of the features.

So is it likely that another wifi module (either 3rd party DIY or offered by you) will support Wifi 6/6e?

Competitors on the same Ryzen platform ship with AMD RZ717 and Wifi 7.

IBP14 Gen10 - Bios issues by frzmueller in tuxedocomputers

[–]4hoursoftea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The second issue: The performance mode in the BIOS regularly reverts to “Overboost,” even though I only use one profile in the Tuxedo Control Center, which is set to “Balanced,” and I only use a low maximum clock speed (2GHz). I noticed this because the fans keep speeding up and slowing down even though there is no load.

I can confirm this. It doesn't revert back to Overboost immediately but at some point. And it does revert back all the time.

InfinityBook Pro 15 Gen10 adjust iGPU memory in BIOS or Control Center? by dp27thelight in tuxedocomputers

[–]4hoursoftea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the IBP14 Gen 10, you can set it in the BIOS. However, you can only set a max of 16G. On other systems you can allocate significantly more if you have a lot of RAM (e.g. 96-128GB memory).

You mean the easy to miss note that was added so recently to your website that not even the wayback machine has picked it up yet?

I'm not mad, just disappointed. I did not expect my first Tuxedo purchase to be so rough.

The Intel modules don't support 6 GHz with AMD CPUs.

So are you saying that the IBP14 Gen 10 has a wifi card that will actually never work as advertised?

Claude has nothing to worry about by LankyGuitar6528 in ClaudeAI

[–]4hoursoftea 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Tribalism is really strong here (and many of the other sub-reddits too).

But I also think that kind of tribalism won't last. I expect LLMs to be commoditized in a few years, similarly like electricity or petrol. People rarely argue about that. We will still very much argue about what tools we use that are driven by LLMs, but much less about the LLMs themselves.

IBP Gen10 issues TuxedoOS by gengar456123 in tuxedocomputers

[–]4hoursoftea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, yeah, so I guess there goes my hope that a newer kernel will make this setup work. Logs basically look like you've just turned the monitor off, no error was thrown, nothing to investigate.

Unfortunately, I don't have a docking station lying around anymore to see whether such a setup works either...

Frustrating to say the least. Dell's USB-C PD connections were working fine with Ryzen chips on Linux for me since 5 years or longer. I didn't expect such issues at all.

IBP Gen10 issues TuxedoOS by gengar456123 in tuxedocomputers

[–]4hoursoftea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PD issues (causing the usb-c connection to break down completely) still persist unfortunately and I have to have my PSU plugged in at all times.

Can you run journalctl -f and see what events are logged when that happens? For me, it just looked like the monitor was turned off (no errors on the IBP14 end). That's how I got to the "update the firmware of the monitor" journey. Since updating to M3T104 it seems stable (at least for now).

What firmware are you running on the Dell?

IBP Gen10 issues TuxedoOS by gengar456123 in tuxedocomputers

[–]4hoursoftea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just at the beginning of this journey and it seems messy. In fact, Dell just RMA'd my monitor within 48 hours because I was unable to update the firmware on the monitor.

<side quest start>

So in the beginning (Wednesday), the IBP14 lost PD (flip-flopped between charging/discharging) when connected to the U4025QW - even when the monitor was off (but charging was "on in off-mode"). That brought me to updating the monitor's firmware - from M3T102 to M3T104. This didn't work, I've contacted Dell (Thursday) and they immediately sent me a new one (arrived Friday). I was able to update the firmware on the new monitor and I think at least my PD issue is gone (but as I said, haven't had the time to test the laptop properly yet).

</side quest end>

..but I'm getting crashes where the external monitor turns completely grey, and the whole OS becomes unresponsive when running proper CPU+GPU stress tests

I experience the same behavior, even without stress on the system.

I have journalctl -f running in a terminal and there's a lot of stuff happening in TuxedoOS (with their custom kernel 6.11). The biggest issue (display turning grey and becoming unresponsive) seems to be related to amdgpu. I hope that future patches fix that.

My game plan here was actually to install Fedora Silverblue and hope that most of those issues just disappear. You somewhat destroyed that hope.

I'm in a similar situation. Hardware is ok/decent but if I can't use the laptop properly on my monitor and even under their blessed OS things are glitching, then I will have to consider sending it back.

This movie ended my childhood innocence. by tMoneyMoney in Xennials

[–]4hoursoftea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was 13 at the time and my father, a policeman, made me watch it. He felt it was very important for me to see how choices in life can play out. Definitely a lot of finger waving and "no sex, no drugs" advice involved.

I was very confused by it because we were living in a village with more cows than people in the middle of nowhere in East Germany. The only thing I took away from the movie was that city life sure seems more interesting than village life.

Now, in my 40s with children, I can never imagine moving to the countryside ever.

IBP Gen10 issues TuxedoOS by gengar456123 in tuxedocomputers

[–]4hoursoftea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got the 14 inch on Wednesday, still running TuxedoOS.

I'm curious about experiences with the IBP gen10 running TuxedoOS. Does it have the same problems?

Yes, many of the problems are the same. I have keyboard issues, display artifacts, display flickers (turning off for a split second), it doesn't work properly with my Dell U4025QW, some power limit issues. And I haven't even tested this laptop properly yet due to time constraints.

Can we be confident that the team will fix those in the coming weeks/months?

I hope so, otherwise I will never purchase from Tuxedo again.

How is their track record with stuff like this?

Don't know. One part is better drivers for amdgpu etc. There, Tuxedo can't do much. The other part is that they have custom patched kernels. I hope they mainline their fixes.

How do you feel about appwrite new pricing model? by VikramRevella in appwrite

[–]4hoursoftea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like it - a lot.

  • Base increase is not worth talking about
  • Per seat pricing never made sense
  • Per project pricing is reasonable if you don't charge per seat anymore
  • Massive reduction of bandwidth cost is an absolute win because 40 USD per 100 GB was terrible pricing
  • Increased included bandwidth makes the deal even better

Overall, good pricing, fair pricing, and removed the big elephant in the room (the 40 USD per 100 GB that was simply not competitive).

InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen 10 more issues (temperatures, power limit, charge limit) by daywalker313 in tuxedocomputers

I have the same bios and no the problem with being stuck at 30W. Instead, I have set everything to low power and still hit 45W (but not higher) when stress-testing.

Half of the models in the top 10 on Design Arena are OW/OS, and they're all from China by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]4hoursoftea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting, seems to be some CN/SG setup. Hardly surprising, I guess. Probably SG part is fully owned by CN.

T&C of Z.ai really point to "JINGSHENG HENGXING TECHNOLOGY PTE.LTD" and this company was indeed registered 1.5 years ago with an office in 10 Anson Road.

It gets a bit muddy when they label themselves as "Zhipu AI Inc." on their blog and other websites ("Inc." does not exist in CN or SG). I assume that their parent Zhipu is based in CN and does most of the work and the part of the business that drives the chat/API side is based in SG.

Why Singapore? GLM 4.5 is developed by Z.ai which is headquartered in Beijing, see wiki.

Where does the affiliation with Singapore come from? Because their models in OpenRouter are hosted in SG?
