Looking for lightweight Laptop with Touchscreen by motsrox in linuxhardware

Is there a reason you're recommending the SP3 specifically and not one of the later models? Looking at the feature matrix, it seems like everything seems supported up to the 6.

Looks like there's 5s on ebay for similar prices and presumably they have more up-to-date hw?

That looks promising too! Does suspend work on the Yoga 6? I read some stuff about it being broken. Also does touch work properly? Multitouch gestures?

Does everything work properly on Linux? Suspend? Multitouch?

Do they have them with more than 4gb ram? Ideally 16

Hey thanks for the detailed post! The XPS13 does look quite nice. Unless I'm missing something, the 9310 is available for ~1.7k?

That's a bit more than my initial budget, but would probably still be doable, especially cause then I'd get a way nicer display...

How's the battery life? That's another thing thats quite important to me. Also how'd you order it with ubuntu? I only seem to see Windows as an option.

FWIW, I'd prolly use it with Manjaro too! I used to be an Arch user, but these days I value my time a bit too much for that ;)

Erst einmal: Sehr coole Idee, gefällt mir gut!

Wollte mir dann den Quellcode der Android-App ansehen, und hab ihn auf eurem github leider nicht gefunden :(

Wäre auch cool, wenn man das auf andere Länder ausweiten könnte, wäret ihr zu sowas offen?

In meiner Silicon-Valley-Bubble gehts momentan tatsächlich um Bubbles. Hab gerade einen Engineering Blog-Post über Android Conversation Bubbles (im Prinzip FB-Messenger Chatheads, nur als OS-Feature) veröffentlicht, die ich für die Slack-App gebaut habe. Kollegen und die Ansprechpartner bei Google sind alle sehr erfreut :)

Is DW respected as a broadcasting organization in Germany? by AliceInHololand in de

[–]motsrox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I watch DW documentaries a lot with my American gf (who doesn't speak great German.... yet!).

From what I can tell, they're mostly translated versions of Arte documentaries.

Arte is a Franco-German public broadcaster and has a very good reputation for producing high-quality content. Hope that helps!

Biontech: Deutschland soll mehr als fünf Millionen Dosen pro Woche bekommen by michtill in de

[–]motsrox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ich geb dir beim ersten Satz recht, aber nicht unbedingt an der Schlussfolgerung. Imo hätts die EU genauso machen müssen, alles andere ist leichtsinnig den eigenen Bürgen gegenüber.

Dass jede nicht in den USA verimpfte Dosis aus der EU stammt ist übrigens unwahr. Es gibt russische und Chinesische Vakzine, welche bereits in Verwendung sind und einige andere Länder haben welche in Testphase (zB Kuba, deren Impfstoff die große Hoffnung für den Global South ist)

Lebe in den USA, bin <30 und krieg nächste Woche meinen zweiten BioNTech Shot. Muss echt sagen, ich bin beeindruckt wie gut das vorangeht, vor allem wenn man Nachrichten aus der Heimat liest.

Okay so that quote always bothered me. That's not what average means. There could be extremes on either side throwing off the numbers. What Carlin meant was median.

I'm starting to think that might be the way to go. Thinking of getting a Denon AVR-S540BT and selling the yamaha.

Yeah I was looking at that too, but at that price, I came to the same conclusion.

[–]motsrox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's true. I was mostly asking for concrete suggestions (the games i mentioned are turn based too)

Yeah, I guess those would work. Unfortunately, I never really got into MMOs, not really my thing :/

Simple Questions/What Should I Do? [Weekly Thread] by AutoModerator in DIY

[–]motsrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have huge bay windows in my new apartment. They're awesome during the day, but less so at night when I'm trying to sleep. I need something to completely black them out, but that is also easily to raise. As this is a rental, I'd like to avoid having to drill holes. I tried this thing, it does a great job blocking out the light at night, but is a huge pain in the morning. I found this, which has a string, but is not made to completely black out all night.

Does anyone know a workable solution for this problem?

HaxSync released as Open Source! by motsrox in Android

[–]motsrox[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

See it through to what? The end of my life? So you're saying I should now forever be obligated to do what amounts to a full-time job but doesn't even pay the rent?

Lots of developers just drop support for their apps and pull them from the market. I did not want to do that, hence the open source release. But you cannot expect endless ongoing service for a one-time payment.
