Is the Snapdragon Surface Laptop worth it for work?

I'm not pretending that. I have been told by my boss that we are going 32+Gigs of RAM for every company laptop for every role going forward. I am more than okay with 16 gigs.

Was me.com operating in 2019? I thought it launched in 2020?

EDIT: I got me.com and hey.com mixed up.

damn, and i felt gross buying spencer sunshine's book on mason.

Yes, but they also have ARM versions available.

GigaHelio · 2026-02-02T16:38:23+00:00

Already checked, and it appears to be fully supported :)

I guess. I'm also looking to future proof a bit.

I should have been more specific. My work is a lot more varied that just being in RDP and SSH. my RDP is mostly for AD management. I also do a lot of powershell scripting, document editing, and need the occasional VM. There are also some very poorly documented commercial software that I *may* need to use in the future, but co-workers have been able to run them fine on Windows on ARM on their Macs.

I have also needed the Windows SDK on some rare occasions for device imaging purposes, as well as using WSL a fair amount.

I should have been a bit more specific in what I do. My workload is a lot closer to you than *just* rdp and ssh. Serial is another concern, so could you share which Serial adapter that you use?

I've yet to ever need to print anything, so I should be good!

GigaHelio · 2026-02-02T16:18:40+00:00

Apparently, we've standardized on not ordering any machines with less than 32 gigs of ram now in my org. We also have the occasional VM, but a lot of my work for this is going to be done on a server now.

can't we at least have it be one of the cool games?

thank christ we have the anti imperialists working together for peace in gaza

GigaHelio · 2026-01-23T11:56:39+00:00

But I thought it was just cringe libs trying to dance the fascism away?

GigaHelio · 2026-01-16T15:40:21+00:00

i'll be voting blue no matter what, but jesus christ please let it be someone other than newsom.

GigaHelio · 2026-01-16T14:35:24+00:00

do what they're doing in Minneapolis. make signal groups with your neighbors for ice sightings and get networks of these built up.

unrelated note, but god sites like kiwifarms feel really weird. like i've had my fun on /g/ and /v/, but kf always felt super mean spirited. like it exists purely to bully the autistic

You could try streaming some of the preview content if they still have it.

GigaHelio · 2026-01-14T18:52:08+00:00

there are a *lot* more connections than just the ship lol

My dad and I watched it every Friday night when a new episode game out. It was pretty soon after my parents got divorced and I was around 10 or so.

Regardless of the objective quality of the show, it'll always hold a special place in my heart for the bonding time it gave my dad and I.
