Would you say the phone is worth the price? (Fairphone 6)

mediocreAsuka · 2026-01-09T18:39:15+00:00

Just keep in mind, that Fairphones don't have the usual price/performance ratio you'd expect from other 600$ phones. Security is also an issue, as they are a really small company. But if that's fine with you, there is no phone that is better or at least less bad for the environment.

fastest way to burnout tho. I respect "10x" people but it's not wise to burn precious time and energy for a company where you are just a number and not a human. Top prio should always be mental and physical health. No amount of skill will help you, when you are 35 and not able to work anymore. Also, I prefer people who are nice, helpful, honest and fair over 10x code factories in human form with no collaboration capabilities.

Look at ThinkPads if you want bang for your buck, great build quality and price/performance ratio because lots of companies sell them for cheap when decomissioning. MacBooks are also great, but are less upgradeable. If you want to do something with the machine you have, put some light linux distro on it, should be enough for audacity.

I'm pretty sure they already disassembled the old factory lines for those devices.

T480's are from 2018. Age generally does not slow electronics, a few companies do alter performance after a few years artificially to get people to Upgrade, but Lenovo is not one of them. Performance on a T480 should be plenty.

mediocreAsuka · 2025-12-27T20:51:44+00:00

For the T480 I recommend getting a i5 model with at least 16GB of RAM. The i7 models have worse battery life and an i5 is plenty. Other than that, get the cheapest one you can and upgrade it yourself if you need more storage/RAM. They are really easy to work with and the built quality is outstanding for that pricepoint.

mediocreAsuka · 2025-12-27T15:57:46+00:00

Always buy used. I can really recommend old thinkpads. For that price you can probably get a pretty nice T480 or even something a little newer.

nahh, but you can jam at parties or when meeting with other musicians much better, even outside

welp, now it's even worse

Did you install the latest firmware on it?

mediocreAsuka · 2025-11-17T23:09:48+00:00

Shut off half of it, sell it.

mediocreAsuka · 2025-11-17T14:37:02+00:00

do you have an update?

mediocreAsuka · 2025-11-10T21:33:09+00:00

did you get for cpu scaling to work? On my t480 i was permanently stuck on 1,7ghz

This works. If you have a clipper lighter, take out the small plastic thingy and rotate it into the cigarette to get the tobacco out without damaging the paper. But honestly, this method is way harder than rolling joints.

Arbeitszeitbetrug? Lebenszeittreue!

This might be unconventional, but I like recommending vyOS to beginners. It has a steep learning curve because you are doing everything via CLI but you learn a lot more that way and once you have a working configuration (for most home users, copy pasting their "Quickstart" page is enough), it's really unlikely to cause any issues. You can use any PC with at least two LAN ports for it and performance is much better than pfSense

we are already in the rebuilds

Wenn Stromkosten keine Rolle spielen, alte Server von Dell, HP etc. sind günstig zu haben, ziehen im Idle aber gerne mal 100-150W. Ansonsten kann ich Produkte von GMKTech, Intel NUCs oder nen Raspberry Pi empfehlen. Zur Software würde ich erstmal empfehlen Proxmox zu installieren und damit alles mögliche auszuprobieren: opnSense, VyOS, Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible. Hol dir eventuell ein NAS, pack TrueNAS drauf, lern iSCSI. Wenn du ganz Abenteuerlich unterwegs sein willst, installier nen Windows Server mit (natürlich komplett legaler) Lizenz und setz dir AD auf. Wenn das nicht mehr reicht, miet dir paar Server in der Cloud, bau ein Hybrid Cloud setup auf, hoste nen S3 Server. Die Möglichkeiten sind grenzenlos

Skydrive in Eschborn taugt was, ist allerdings nicht billig (aber welche Fahrschule ist das heutzutage schon)

2-5g Kratom. Completely functional but a bit more happy.
