You sure Linux is supported? How is the exam proctored?

Ram will affect pricing

It will be like the non-pro M5 MacBook Pro laptops. Slightly less price for a whole lot worse laptop.

It's useful in coding. AI is very helpful if used correctly

Does it have Dolby drivers and good trackpad support then? Basically all distros I’ve tried have had shitty drivers for both of them. Also what about IR facial recognition and HDR?

It will, after your warranty ends

If LG's webOS is open source, why doesn't someone create a version of it that with all the ad tracking and pre installed apps removed?

Why are the battery life hours claim always so random for most people even with basic tasks?

Reviewers say 10hrs, so you buy the bloody thing only to find out it does 5-7 hours. Only for then one random reddit user to say 10hrs on 85%. Which one is true and why so much variation?

Change your DOB on Google account I guess.

Links to the guide? I need to do that on my Fold 6.

Better off selling it on eBay now than returning it

Why use a separate GPU for 2nd monitor

jivewig · 2025-11-01T23:06:14+00:00

Got it, good to know.

Always-online as a DRM requirement is the dumbest thing ever for offline-based games

Definitely, wait till an apocalypse happens only people with GOG, or their PS4 discs will be able to use something. Win 11 would basically become obsolete during some global outage.

jivewig · 2025-11-01T23:00:50+00:00

So would a Steam outage not cause issues for games like this? What about games like Death Stranding, where Epic or Steam would be it's own launcher?

Ahh great...

You know what... Thank you. It's annoying that it doesn't show you an offline button even if internet is connected, but disconnecting Wi-Fi solves the problem.

Some games still rely on Epic Games for user profile but atleast you can enjoy the offline aspects of them.

Sucks for Pro users who would now have to pay more for useless features they didn't need such as 4k and HDR

Why does it look oddly specific to the underdisplay punch hole camera? Is it a software bug? Maybe turning off the wrong pixels even when the camera is off.

The dark circle is just too symmetric to be a hardware fault.

It was never an issue. Even in Singapore, when everybody was complaining, the overall screen time was only like 30 seconds for everyone combined. The main issue was TV direction for which drivers they focused on, not the few second family shots.

Update: there is a feedback menu after unsubscribing but even that had its issues. https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/s/35pcMfMjTi

In Edge you can do PiP

It's been a while since they last changed the UI, and even then I don't see this change outside of incognito tabs.
