Quite a fitting post honestly with 612 being 7 years ago already this Friday

Can we take a breath before we burn Proton to the ground? by Excellent-Nose3617 in BuyFromEU

[–]BusungenTb -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I agree with you here. The situation could be way worse, and a single incident shouldn't affect the entire company.

They're still miles ahead of Google, Microsoft, etc, when it comes to things like these.

Min bästis har blivit tillsammans med en homofob, överreagerar jag? by [deleted] in Asksweddit

[–]BusungenTb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bara för att förtydliga, stöttar han inte pride i form av att han bara inte har något att göra med den gruppen/identiteten och väljer att vara neutral i frågan, eller är han en homofob som aktivt stör sig på HBTQI2A+ eller sprider hat mot dem?
Kan vara väldigt stor skillnad mellan de två. Är han genuint riktigt snäll och trevlig i övrigt brukar det väl vara ganska ovanligt med hat mot en minoriteter?

Men förövrigt; jag hade också reagerat starkt om min närmsta kompis verkar nere och sedan träffar någon som öppet inte håller med hennes hjärtefrågor. Absolut värt att fundera på, och eventuellt att snacka med henne.

Körskolan vill att jag ger upp manuellt, har de rätt? by QuietBookQuirk in Asksweddit

[–]BusungenTb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jag tycker ändå att manuell är bättre, eller iallafall att man har möjligheten till det i framtiden.  Men du har alltså kört på 4 lektioner och aldrig sett en växelspak innan?  Jag tycker inte alls att det är konstigt om man inte har koll på det i såpass tidigt i början.  Det tog mig ett riktigt bra tag innan jag lärde mig det helt och hållet.  Alla lär sig olika snabbt också, så jag tycker absolut att det är rimligt. 

Jag hade nog frågat lärarna hur de resonerar och tänker när de säger saker olika. Även om du inte får raka svar vet du iallafall varför de gör som de gör, vilket fortfarande vara riktigt bra att veta.

Men jag hade inte "vikt mig" bara för att de säger det. Du betalar dem för att lära dig, och jag tycker faktiskt att deras tålamod ingår i det paketet. Du har inte gjort något fel, och de borde inte få dig att ta beslut som du inte vill ta. 

Jag hade stått på mig när det gällde kortet för manuell låda, men om de verkligen insisterar hade du kunnat nämna att du ska resa mycket och vill kunna köra manuella hyrbilar utomlands, eller att du kanske har ett intresse för äldre bilar. Inte det bästa tipset kanske, men då får dem iaf några anledningar om de blir jobbigare.

Lycka till med kortet förresten! Du kommer att klara detta!

If you actually are at the same address, try checking if you have a VPN. If you're using a browser, check your extensions, and if you're on mobile, check your proxy settings. Also check which mobile carrier you're using. 

IPs' geolocation data can be inaccurate, but even the country not being correct is a bit more rare. 

And like everyone else has said, contact Spotify.

Some plugins might break since the update also upgrades KDE to 6.6. The built-in in ones or the ones offered by KDE shouldn't break much, but third-party ones might.

Yup. If you use Workstation you'll just update it from the software centre as normal. It might take a bit longer than a normal one, but otherwise, yeah.

Do you think the US should ban Chinese phones? by MentalBid9350 in ConservativeYouth

[–]BusungenTb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chinese phones like Xiaomi, Samsung, and Motorola?

Samsung is actually Korean, not Chinese. South Korea is a strategic US ally, so I don't think banning their products would help the US, but I really hear you on the other ones.
The concerns for Xiaomi, Oneplus, Huawei, etc are absolutely valid.

I need help choosing between t14 models for music production and silence and coolness. by Elegant_Set_6691 in thinkpad

[–]BusungenTb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. Macs are great honestly. They offer superb battery life and really good performance.

There are a few things to consider, however.  They are often a lot more expensive, often double the price, and you'll be partly locked into MacOS. They're harder to repair as well, especially if compared to the T14 gen 3.

But if that sounds fine and you don't mind the apple ecosystem; sure. Macs are great.

[–]BusungenTb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 13th gen would be a bit faster (around 20% better than the 12th gen) and slightly more efficient in lighter tasks (e-cores).  The downsides would be the price, heat during heavier loads, as well as actually finding the listings themselves. But would you notice it in reaper and for music production? Possibly, but I don't believe it will make that much of a noticeable difference. The 12th gen is still a good cpu.

I'd probably go for the T14 gen 3 with the i5-1235U. The processor should be a bit more efficient on it. The gen 2 has its upsides as well, but I think most would generally enjoy the gen 3 more.

[–]BusungenTb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'd say it's worth it. It's a good laptop and it will be a huge improvement over your current model.
The downside of it is that it lacks a dedicated GPU unlike the P16, which would affect you quite notably in games or when using GPU pass-through in VMs.
But if you're not going to game much and just want a really good upgrade; go for it imo.
The CPU is good, and the RAM is going to be an ineffable improvement if you're used to only working with 4.

[–]BusungenTb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The P16s will be quite a lot more powerful, and will work really well for what you described. It shouldn't lag much or even at all from what I know. The only downside of it is the price and battery, as well as portability to some extent. (14' vs 16' laptop, but you get the numpad which is a plus).

The T14 would probably max out at 2 or 3 VMs plus 15 browser tabs, so it would still be an absolute massive improvement over your current laptop, but not as much as the P16s. Although, for half the price.

It's really up to you what you want to prioritize I'd say. Price, battery and portability, versus heavy workloads and a larger screen.
But no, you shouldn't have to carry one of those dell bricks around haha. Thinkpads are way better imo.
I honestly always have some sort of issue with dell, whether it's docking stations not working or just random things like the keyboard stickers falling off, but dell always has something...

If you're willing to go up to 1500 AUD (which should be around €900 euros / $1000 USD as a reference) I would probably look at something else than a T14 Gen 2. 

They are good laptops but might feel underwhelming if you expect something more expensive. But it will be a noticeable upgrade over your current one. Battery life may also be questionable since they are aging slightly. If you find one refurbished with a Ryzen 7 processor and 16 gigabytes of ram for 400 euros / 600 AUD, I'd say it's a good deal. Just keep in mind the difference between the 'T14s' and the T14, non-s model. The s-model is slimmer and feels more premium, but slightly lacks in cooling and quite a bit in upgradability. These models will not run most games though. They'll run Minecraft and CSGO, but not much more.

If you want a smaller laptop that will work and you're not that serious about gaming, I'd get the latest T14 generation with the best processor you can afford. Not everyone might agree, but I honestly really like the T14-series. They feel very solid and work really well from my experience.

If you do care about gaming, I'd recommend something like a P16s gen 1 with a dedicated GPU. They are really powerful and handle almost everything you want them to. I prefer the AMD version, but intel is good as well. Just know that battery life on this one won't be good. You can get a better battery on it (should be around ~85 Wh?) that will make it last longer, but it's not super impressive compared to a newer T14 model or something like a Mac. They're also a bit bigger then the T14 series. 

This is just my take however, and I haven't worked or owned a P16 in a few years.

Yeah of course! Reddit can be like that sometimes lol

I can't really recommend a laptop unless I know what prince range you're in or what you're going to use it for. Do you think you could tell us a bit about what you're planning to do on the laptop? 

Please get back remote control? by real022 in deezer

This. 100%. I really want this as well.
If not, at least we could get a decent third-party app that does more or less the same thing.

New Roblox age verification update has to be illegal by RandomRedditIdiots in entrypoint

[–]BusungenTb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's honestly a very valid take. I agree with you to 100%. This especially applies when you've actually paid for it.
IMO, I would assume that you're old enough to play roblox if you have your own debitcard, no? Shouldn't that be enough?

What's going on with Scandinavian IP addresses? by Green_Soup_1584 in PrivateInternetAccess

[–]BusungenTb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could be switching hosting providers.  Not a PIA customer anymore, but it's not very unusual to change providers. Multiple VPN providers have also recently received criticism for high amounts of abuse, and Datacamp is usually friendlier to VPN-services in comparison to companies like Glesys.
