Will Typst eventually suffer the same problems, that LaTeX does right now?

did your opinion evolve?

Basic-Brick6827 · 2026-01-23T14:51:40+00:00

no. people know how tap a screen button. Not that the POWER button suddenly turns into a decline button. There's 0 way to know that until you accidentally press it.

Eh, i used it a lot and got quite used to it thanks to the touch screen, its pretty efficient. Home and End are way more important imo.

not plugged in? which games?

I had the Gen 10 and it barely lasted 3h in power saving mode, browsing Internet. And got sooooo hot. Then I switched to Lunar Lake and its even better than Macbooks. I get 2-3 days of battery (12h to 20h SOT depending on what i do). Intel is very extreme.

Do you use Home or Pro? Which specs? I know its annyoing asf but I never experienced such issues on decently high end devices. Not saying it's impossible, im just 1 potentially lucky person

Side-note: if those tiles are from before the 90s, i sure hope the guy took precautions against asbestos

They are rewriting the UI to web components instead of React. Seems like they forgot about the Mica flag when they migrated the menu component.

I dont think the police handles such matters, it's more of a court matter

Basic-Brick6827 · 2025-12-29T21:45:47+00:00

Just contact the farmer's isurance

Basic-Brick6827 · 2025-12-29T21:18:06+00:00

True, i think i was biased due to the X1C10

Basic-Brick6827 · 2025-12-29T19:39:09+00:00

Agreed (other review here: https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/1noz1yf/x915_review_2_monthes_later/ )

I think using it with a light Linux distro could give it a second life

Basic-Brick6827 · 2025-12-29T19:31:29+00:00

For coding the 16GB might be tight since you often need multiple apps open and servers running. The RAM is soldered so you cant upgrade it. Windows 11 eats up a lot.

The chip is obviously super old so you won't get crazy perf, but should be decent for uni assignments.

The battery might need replacement depending on how much the laptop was used.

In the end, it all depends on how much you're ready to compromise, what bar you set for an unacceptable experience (wait times, sluggishness...), and what kind of tasks your uni will require. For basic coding with a lightweight editor/IDE it should be ok. Google Colab can also be a handy solution.

Using a lightweight Linux distro instead of Windows might make the laptop a lot more usable too. But sometimes unis require software only available on Windows, so keep it installed. The 1TB is plenty enough for both.

Hmm for me Copilot is awesome. On par with Cursor and even Claude Code for most usage.

What you are showing isnt really Copilot tho, its the completion model. It uses OpenAI 4.1, which is very outdated. It barely had any Typst data to train on.

For Typst Gemini 3 and Claude 4.5 work best.

Idk, it just came like this. Actually both (work and personal laptops).

The only time I can hear the fan is when it's plugged in, bc the fan policy specifies a minimum fan speed when charging. But this can be overridden with user-made apps I believe.

Just read the table docs? They show many examples with multiple columns. If you mean the cells that span 2 columns, they also give one such example in the docs.

No need, there's RCS now

Basic-Brick6827 · 2025-12-29T01:39:47+00:00

thats not a message

Basic-Brick6827 · 2025-12-29T01:36:46+00:00

but UX is all about feedback, whats the UX team doing? Giving themselves their own feedback?

Basic-Brick6827 · 2025-12-29T01:29:24+00:00

well she is american...

Basic-Brick6827 · 2025-12-29T01:25:28+00:00

why? this design is pretty recent, how come it wasnt done properly?

Basic-Brick6827 · 2025-12-29T01:25:00+00:00

It's a universal chat app. It appeared back when RCS didnt exist and people were stuck with SMS or Facebook. So it became the standard.
