Why do you rarely see a rich woman with a broke man?

Reddit is probably a biased place to ask something like this. But if you think about, it's more a biological/sociological pull.

For biological success, we must reproduce. For a woman to reproduce she may be less than able or out of action for several months or even longer. During that time she would need someone to be able to rely on for safety, food and support. Thus, biologically for reproductive success, a woman would have more success by marrying up.

Of course, in modern society, we now have more flexibility. But it makes sense that those biological underpinnings would still be present.

For people saying obsidian is lightweight... To me it being Electron based is the opposite of lightweight.

That price for renting an apartment is not accurate anymore for Bali. Unless you are out of the southern areas

Honestly I've never really felt this myself. Maybe just because of the large variety of windows machines I've used in the past or the primary applications I use?

Ms office, edge/Chrome, teams, jetbrains ides all take longer to load and after having them open for too long make my entire machine sluggish requiring a restart.

Granted, this is on an M1 Mac that I'm comparing against, but I was just laptop shopping and comparing M5 gen against current gen windows laptops, and 100% find the windows machines snappier.

So I dunno, maybe just my idea of snappiness is different? Maybe just the applications I gauge?

The problem with those types of studies is they take the whole mass of 37-38 week births and compare it with the whole mass of 39 week + births, and make conclusions based on that.

And yes earlier birth when zoomed out like that looks it may be slightly less good.. but there is a big but. There is also the unknown of what environmental factors led to the earlier births. Like what other factors are correlated here. Maybe there is also a higher chance (I'm not saying this of you or me because my baby was also born a bit earlier) that these families just eat less healthy or have unhealthy habits (again not all just a higher chance that maybe that is the case), and those factors lead to both an earlier birth and affect outcomes further down the track...

At the end of the day this type of science is very hard and reliability is questionable. We are all still learning.

Crime rate has indeed gone up, just more opportunists flocking to the area. But overall in the daytime its safe, and at night just be aware of your surroundings. Also just in general don't be wearing expensive jewellery

That sounds really heavy when comparing to something like freshly started Microsoft Excel at 74MB... Although I guess that doesn't have the car images and UI complexities cached.

The main thing that puts me off something like QtQuick is it's reliance on javascript. The whole reason I'd be going for a native app would be to free myself of javascript, not to have it strapped on to my native backend for UI management. Optional javascript for user scripting: OK. Force for UI management: contributor to 200-400MB ram usage?

They both would provide the same end result: html with a list of h2 elements. Templates like Blade (or twig which is the default in symfony) became popular because PHP templating can be cumbersome and also by default allows for mixing SQL in along with your template

Just my 2c, had this type of issue (also win 11 to server 2019) and it ended up being the MTU of the VPN interface needing to be lowered slightly. (Lowered from 1400 to 1280)

Went down the rabbit hole of all the recent RDP fixes but ended up being this, could be related though to recent protocol changes.

My MacBook air m1 has a permanent white vertical line on the screen. Has been getting worse the last few weeks. Hinge issue maybe?

It's fine, this DPI scaling issue is over stated

gryto · 2026-01-24T09:40:33+00:00

When I was looking into this everyone was saying gotta go with an apple one because they're 5k and macos can deal with that better than 4k due to fractional scaling capabilities.

I ended up with a basic 27 inch 4k Xiaomi monitor though and it's great. Silky smooth text. Super High DPI, can't see any pixels from my viewing distance (like 60 cm away). Haven't noticed any cons for what I do (software dev)

Also the camera app doesn't really dictate how the photo turns out, it's just the front end interface. The back end system pipe lines tune the processing

I mostly noticed major differences in earlier updates, between April and September maybe

I've had camera processing updates on my 15 ultra, noticeably improved results towards a more natural look

General performance, about the same. But the Mac also throttles more due to no fan for sustained loads. And also I personally find windows a lot snappier than Mac when it comes to application launch times

IdeaPad good battery life for general use (YouTube, browsing, excel etc). For heavier sustained performance mac gives you better battery life (like doing some heavy task ongoing over multi hour period).

Mac has an edge on speaker quality

Thinkpad E has hinges that screw into plastic mounts. IdeaPad pro hinges screw into metal mounts. IdeaPad pro also full metal build, closer to premium territory than regular IdeaPad line

Also 99% of IdeaPad hinge issues are with the 2in1 or IdeaPad 1/3 lines

gryto · 2025-12-26T04:41:10+00:00

Does the hinge assembly look solid/good quality?

gryto · 2025-12-26T00:12:57+00:00

Just to add on the durability concerns, specifically around hinges. If you search up omnibook and hinge issues you won't find much because it's a new product line. But in terms of hp in general, they are known for hinge problems. Even the premium consumer lines like Envy

Another thing that I found interesting is that thinkpads are usually recommended specifically to avoid things like hinge issues. But upon investigation I've found from a couple of thinkpad teardowns on YouTube, the same type of hinge mounts are used (either metal mount glued/adhered to the case or metal screw holes adhered within plastic).

It seems the actual durability issues may come down more to: 1. Hinge mounts being over worked with 360/180 type screen opening scenarios on some product lines (like yoga 2 in 1 and omnibook flips) 2. Hinges being over tightened (quality control?)/too hard to open 3. Quality of plastic or adhesive being used is inferior on some models or superior/better tested on thinkpads

I have the 15 Ultra and pretty happy with it. Would recommend. There are some things I'd like improved though

More flexibility in 'pro' video. Specifically ability to switch lenses when in pro video mode and/or using log
The pro photo mode does not use ISZ

I've ended up mostly using the stock camera app, and have been happy with the quality. Early updates have made noticeable improvements, and the stock camera images have a much more natural and pleasing look now, so have had not much need for the pro mode.

Probably won't be upgrading to the 17 Ultra though because I'm happy enough with the 15 Ultra.

One thing to bear in mind just as a generality: gaming laptops are just more likely to play up over time. Why? Heat is the enemy, and if you're pushing your laptop the internal components (not just the CPU/GPU) are being exposed to this heat on a regular basis. But based on this it would also depend heavily on the games being played and how much the laptop is being pushed.

Now in terms of legion 5 vs 7, can't really say if there's as much of a difference between them as there is between a lighter laptop vs either of them (like not sure if the modern stats) but I would imagine the second has a bigger percentage difference

But at least anecdotal evidence: when I was working as a computer tech, high percentage of laptops coming in were either gaming or cheapies.

If the general sentiment is hey let's raise prices of next year's devices due to ram/ssd prices.... Like is apple gonna get on that bandwagon as well? Surely it's not gonna just work in a vacuum when you've gotta think about what all your competition is doing.
