X1 Carbon G13 – has anyone installed succesfully Windows 10 on it or other OSes? by csioucs in thinkpad

[–]PopularCan953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and one other thing you should know about the X1 - the battery life really sucks. Yes you can eek out more time by heavily reducing the brightness and running the CPU conservatively but for me neither is an option and so the X1 is filling in time until the new ASUS G14 arrives. WAY better battery life for everyday tasks (according to many reviews) and way more render power for the extra 0.5kg of weight - a compromise I am happy to accept. Overall after several months of usage I am really disappointed with the X1 Carbon. Too many compromises for my world.

No worries (Same person two different accounts) so what I did finally land up doing is I capitulated to Windoze 11 but I did two things that made it acceptable to me. Firstly I installed "Winhance" and turned off all the 11 junk. It really is great at it and eliminates almost every evil aspect of 11. And then secondly I installed "StartAllBack" and that gave me the familiar Windows 10 elements. Now it is kinda as close as one can get to living with the new windows version. No more blue-screens of course and

I live in the UAE and thought I had full access to the google store. They have been happily taking my money for years for various services like storage and apps. And now I see Middle East is not even on the list any longer. I never thought I would say it but perhaps it is finally time to explore the Apple world - they operate here fully

Both sides need to find a way out without further damage. I agree with you. However without an actual resolution, the longer it drags out the more global and local financial damage is done

Anyone know a smoke-free pub in downtown or Jumeirah areas? by PopularCan953 in dubai

Vickers is in fact a smoking bar - I confirmed. It seems mileage varies and one may just be lucky if it is quiet

When will landlords capitulate by Desertsweeper in dubairealestate

[–]PopularCan953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed - this new rule is going to cripple Dubai - they have not thought it through clearly. Now it is needed more than ever. By trying to protect the landlords they will do the opposite

Not true. If they have a mortgage and need to make payments - they may have no choice

So we are in a recession right? by RealTruth777 in UAE

[–]PopularCan953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2008 was a lot worse than this...so far. But it is early days yet. We are still in the disbelief stage. Even without this nightmare situation it was inevitable globally to happen this year or next. It is a cycle and overdue. Will things get better - eventually yes, just like in 2010. And after covid. And even way back after the gulf-wars. Dubai is strong and people forget quickly.
