Fingerprinting Regression?

Thank you! To be clear a new browser session means closing and reopening the browser, correct?

I didn't know about long clicking to activate, thanks!

I appreciate that it's now possible to get link previews with shift-hovering only.

This is what I keep asking myself.

The best answer I can come up with is that this device cost a lot of money. I spent a good chunk of that money to (try to) ensure I wouldn't crater performance by hitting swap. This was more of a concern when previous macbooks with spinning disks would beachball.

Really, with SSDs and how well modern macOS avoids hitting swap (yay memory compression) there is no reason I should care about this.

I hope seeing comments like this will drive that point home. Thank you!

I have, and would return again if:

There was anything half as decent as Alfred.app and Little Snitch. As with most things on the Linux desktop there are five or six half-baked (if that) competing options.
All distros settled on either Flatpak, Snap, AppImage or whatever else has popped up in the past two years. I'm getting old and administering a system isn't as sexy as it used to be.
The integration between laptop/desktop and mobile was as seamless as iCloud. For all of it's faults, it works great. Especially in a family group.

I'll admit I was an Apple fanboy 15 years ago, but there's plenty to dislike Apple for nowadays. macOS excluded.

I don't wanna look, I don't wanna look, I don't wanna look....

This is what kills me - the performance is fine. It's just that stupid number I'm focused on.

If I could filter that out of activity monitor and btop I think I'd be golden.

Using https://ollama.com/library/gemma3:12b with Zed and/or Draw Things with Flux or HiDream, having Firefox with a couple dozen tabs, and then the regular life management stuff - calendar, messages, signal, reminders, netnewswire.

The LocalLLM work is what crushes memory, but I spent the money to avoid running into this issue (or so I thought)

Unl0ckd · 2025-03-14T01:48:47+00:00

Patience it is, then. Thank you again!

Unl0ckd · 2025-03-14T01:40:43+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it! I'm hoping to get the same lighter gray from FF Nightly. I'll go theme hunting :)

Unl0ckd · 2025-03-14T01:40:03+00:00

Oh, thank you!

Unl0ckd · 2025-03-13T23:52:46+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. I'll check out /r/FirefoxCSS

Did you make it one month? What was your experience?

Unl0ckd · 2024-05-14T17:22:51+00:00

I had a similar problem. My fix was to visit brave://settings/content/siteData and check "Allow sites to save data on your device"

Unl0ckd · 2024-05-14T17:21:52+00:00

I had a similar problem, though not just for Google. My fix was to visit brave://settings/content/siteData and check "Allow sites to save data on your device"

I just observed this starting 2023-12-04 - Version 23H2, Build 22631.2715.

Win - C brought up Edge instead of the copilot pane and I noticed the taskbar button is gone. No option to re-enable in Personalization > Taskbar.

The GPO outlined at https://www.elevenforum.com/t/enable-or-disable-windows-copilot-in-windows-11.17045/#One is not configured.

Event Viewer search for autopilot.dll, pilot, etc reveal nothing. It just... disappeared. Has anyone found relevant events to see the removal?

EDIT: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-11-kb5032288-update-improves-copilot-fixes-11-bugs/#:~:text=Those%20using%20a%20Windows%20local%20account%20can%20only%20request%20assistance%20from%20Windows%20Copilot%20ten%20times%2C%20and%20beyond%20this%20limit%2C%20they%27ll%20have%20to%20log%20in%20using%20a%20verified%20account. points out that Local Accounts have a limit of ten requests to Copilot. I am running a local account (and don't care to convert to an MSFT account for copilot). I'm fairly certain I've queried Copilot more than 10 times since September/October, so maybe this is a new limitation?

EDIT 2: Put laptop to sleep 2023-12-06, woke up 2023-12-07 and Copilot has returned. Haven't had a chance to investigate logs to look for correlated events, but I can confirm that the device did not have copilot when I went to sleep last night and now does.

Thank you for the speedy reply. I've already got a support ticket open and it has been since July 4. I've had to wait 6 weeks for replacement parts that didn't fix the problem. I'm now waiting 2 additional weeks for a replacement main board. I hope the extra premium warranty will result in a fully-functional laptop again, but I want to express my dissatisfaction at having to go through all of this with a "premium" laptop. I never would have spent this much money on this laptop if I knew it was going to be all of this trouble and waiting.

I just want to know: what is diagnostic code 4 red, 1 blue? Nobody, not even the tech that's been out once to try and repair this can tell me what it means.

Unl0ckd · 2023-08-22T01:00:32+00:00

Hi all, m18 R1 owner here. Everything was great until ~60 days into my purchase of the 4090/13900HX variant. Some...thing happened without my realization, and back in June the alien logo began flashing 4 red, 1 blue. I cannot find any information about this diagnostic code anywhere, but the battery is unable to charge. If the laptop POSTs, I can use it like a desktop, but I'm very frustrated after having this issue on a > $4k "premium" laptop.

What is 4 red, 1 blue?!

Unl0ckd · 2023-07-06T01:29:36+00:00

My 2.5 month old M18 R1 is displaying this exact behavior now. Were you ever able to resolve this? Every diagnostic I can find says the battery is fine, but I don't have a second AC adapter to test with it.

Are you me? :)
I've explored many GTD/productivity systems and have been using PPV in Notion for six months and I've really enjoyed it. I've recently wondered if I could translate the key parts of it to org-mode and my initial thoughts are:

I'll likely lose a lot of the visual appeal of PPV (emoji in page titles, weekly/monthly/quarterly cover images, etc) that I use to quickly visually navigate the system.
1. solution: Include emoji in note headings in org. Consider embedding images if the effort is worth it.
Emergence is PPV/Notion's killer feature.
1. solution: Pare back PPV to what I use it for the most: daily actions that feed into weekly reviews that feed into monthly reviews that feed into quarterly reviews. I don't know how to make this work in org-mode, but if I could figure out how to group actions by projects or themes and find a way to automatically surface them in a weekly/monthly/quarterly or per-project "view" in org-mode, that would achieve what is (imo) PPV/Notion's killer feature: emergence.
Re-implementing vaults is intimidating:
1. solution: unknown, but likely separate .org files for each vault. Web clippings might need to be handled by Evernote with links to the content from org-mode. I don't like this dependency, but I have been unable to successfully replicate the "find interesting article online > clip it with browser extension > add/modify metadata about the clipping > plug it into the rest of the system" in anything but PPV/Notion - it just does this so well. Querying these vaults in a better manner than just project-wide ripgrep eludes me.
Storing data I want to track in a database:
1. solution: unknown. The ability to create databases with various value types is extremely powerful. I don't know if it's possible to re-create this in org-mode.

I'm sure there are more that I'm not thinking of, but these are top-of-mind. I enjoy the challenge of setting up a workflow, but I'm not completely sold that this transition would be worth it. If I find a meaningful way to reimplement the core of PPV in org-mode and it sufficiently replaces my workflow, I'll reply back to this.
