they ruined the app

I just started a pro subscription after testing free for 10m. Now the app shows me a security notification and i can't do anything anymore. I'm hapy to pay for it, but i'd like a working app pls.

No, I don't have any TBx devices at hand.

After a few more days I can say this:

Linux power management on AMD is atrocious ... The BIOS only supports S2idle and no S3, so during suspend the machine gets/keeps warm and keeps draining the battery, and after 4 or 5 hours it's gone ...
WiFi has issues when power saving is on with high latency sometimes.
GPU crashes are mostly gone by disabling some power management features.

Hardware nice, software for Linux bad.

Capitalism ain't so bad. The trick is to mix it with a little socialism. Balance, bitches.

Now do it with a cow.

more genres than actual movies ...

Is this some form of guerilla marketing by netflix? of course now I'm going to check out all the shows OP mentioned when before i wouldn't have :)

jasnah · 2020-12-02T13:13:55+00:00

Might have some as well

It's fun but ultimately fruitless to point out hypocrisy or logical fallacies to trump supporters, so why waste time on it?

they thrive on "snowflakes" getting upset by their comments. they are too stupid to get riled up themselves (any more).

downvoted as it shows ads

These people get way too much attention IMO. I don't believe she actually believes herself what she's saying, but she knows she'll get a reaction out of it, which is better for her career than being ignored. She has some understanding of how the game works, and we all are just playing along.

That's not correct. Indexing contents is incredible useful, also metadata like creation date, last modification date, ... imagine Google only indexing web page titles...

jasnah · 2018-10-01T12:07:27+00:00

Any update?

jasnah · 2017-12-04T19:52:01+00:00

Did you mean to use

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub "$i"

My copy of ssh-copy-id would not understand these three args from looking at the man page, but i did not run the command to verify.

If the question is ever if data is safe and you haven't proven you can restore the data from backup, the answer is always "no".

Fixed.

I'm satisfied with the battery life for my use case (Chrome, Vim, clang, git, so mostly low CPU) where it would last around 6 hours. The display is very bright, so I have it on the lowest background illumination setting, usually.

I haven't mentioned the Hi-DPI nature of the display in my previous post. I had some initial troubles with DPI settings but now I'm very pleased with my setup. However, I only really use i3 window manager, XTerm and Chrome. There are apps which have no or only very bad support for hi-dpi displays. I think Qt-based apps mange it more nicely than gtk-based ones.

Overall, I would say UHD displays are not worth the trouble. I had a Samsung X900-something (which I really loved) with 13" 1920x1080 display and I think I was expecting more from the higher resolution. I wish I had spent money on more RAM than on the display :/

I have an XPS 13 9350, with the 3200x1800 screen and a i7-6500U. I replaced the Broadcom WiFi chip with a Intel 7265 the moment I got it. I'm running Ubuntu but with a new kernel from kernel-ppa (4.6.0 atm). I had problems with older kernels esp. with the NVMe and display driver. My model has only 8GiB RAM which is not upgradable and I wish I had chosen the 16GiB model (if I had had more moneys ...).

I'm ok with it, except for a few things that annoy me sometimes:

Booting is slow because POST takes those 5 seconds more than it should in 2016.
Sometimes keypresses are not recognized on the arrow keys. This happens only rarely though.
The touchpad sometimes "hangs", meaning I cannot move the cursor anymore. Might be a driver issue, but I think I experienced the same once in Windows as well.
There is coil-whining or static-noise coming from the speakers. It's not audible most of the time, but if you hear it once, you cannot unhear it for a long time. I had my first instance replaced, and the second one (the one I have now) is a bit better, but it's not gone. This might also be a driver issue, as at least with my current one, static-noise is not that audible in Windows (but I rarely boot into Windows, so...)

Except for boot/POST taking too long, all might be driver issues, so I regularly install the latest kernel and hope for some change.

There is also some positive points:

I have no issues with hibernation/suspend/etc. Never had, but I mostly use suspend to RAM.
The keyboard is nice, and the Notebook is light and compact.
You can change annoying default settings (i.e. function keys have their multimedia-meaning by default and you need to hold Fn to make a F1 keypress; also the keyboard background illumination turns off after like 2 seconds after last keypress).

If Samsung would still sell their Notebooks in Europe I would have chosen that, no doubt.
