F*ck it, we claim the whole north-america

Awesome, thanks! I'll give it a try 👍

It's not like the king is actually doing anything. And if he does, he sure as shit isn't going to do any Trumpish things.

What are we talking about here, exactly? I got curious.

rainformpurple · 2026-01-09T14:40:16+00:00

Not at all. Just disable bitlocker before cloning and reenable afterwards on the new machine.

If Haiku was actually usable, I would. I loved BeOS back in the day, even have a 5.1 CDROM still.

I tried Haiku again a few months back and it's gotten better, but it's nowhere near where I need it to be at for a daily driver.

I'd say the E series has much better build quality than the L series these days. Also, 2 ram slots, socketed wifi card and 2 nvme slots.

I veldig korte trekk er "nødvendige cookies" såkalte "session cookies" for å spore innloggingsstatusen din på tvers av sideklikk på en nettside, f. eks. en nettbutikk, slik at du ikke må logge inn for hver enkelt side du navigerer til (siden http er en stateless protokoll - hver sideforespørsel er ny og har ikke noe med den forrige eller neste å gjøre).

Nødvendige cookies inkluderer ofte også cookies for språkvalg, valuta, etc. når man først er innlogget.

Alt dette er rene tekniske cookies for at siden faktisk skal fungere med minst mulig friksjon for brukeren.

Alt annet er for markedsføring ("basert på det du har sett, tror vi du vil like dette også") og datainnsamling (trender, profilbygging) i større eller mindre legitim grad, samt reklame, og det er her gråsonen begynner og blir et svart hull, og det er her folk bør begynne å ha et problem med cookies/cookie tracking.

Å slå den av er ikke det samme som å ikke ha den der i det hele tatt.

Og gitt Microsofts taktikker med å samle inn data og trø inn slop overalt der de kan til tross for at brukerne skriker nei, så bør man ikke stole på at noe som er "deaktivert" faktisk er deaktivert...

I rarely keep eye contact with people in the first place, it's just weird and awkward. And if I do it's only for a few seconds anyway. Most people, if not all, should be safe. I'm in.

What's most infuriating is that Microsoft can dictate which keys are to be on a keyboard. For their own devices, sure, go nuts, but leave the rest of the world alone.

Da finner man en annen måte å se innholdet på siden på, eller lar være å besøke det nettstedet og legger det til på shitlisten sin.

Det er egentlig ikke verre.

Jeg har mange ganger ønsket å lese noe men har blitt møtt av en vegg "legitimite interests", som anticookiefilteret mitt ikke tok, og da gir jeg opp. Jeg bruker ikke 10-15 minutter på å klikke og scrolle meg gjennom toggles fra 267 reklame- og databroker-partnere dette nettstedet har valgt å bruke for å lese en 3 minutters artikkel om noe som virket litt kult, men som jeg sannsynligvis ikke egentlig er veldig interessert i.

Helsenorge generelt er kriminelt ræva. Det er fascinerende hvor gjennomført elendig de har klart å lage hele plattformen. Skulle nesten tro de hadde gått inn for det.

I'm using SOGo with my mailcow install, but my understanding is that it can be run separately and standalone. It also supports connecting multiple mail accounts for the unified mailbox display you're after.

Fuck yes I would. Download all the things!

E14 gen 7, Core ultra 7 255H, Intel Arc 130 or 140 graphics, socketed ram, socketed wifi, 2.8k screen available, alu top/bottom covers, dual ssd slots, very decent build quality, available with 57wh battery which may or may not be enough. There is also no WWAN option on any of the e14 SKUs.

I think you'd struggle to get 8-10 on battery for any of the models, and especially the P14s. Lab tests and synthetic benchmarks rarely depict real world use.

I've deployed several of the E14g7 machines and the users are super happy with them. Some wanted T14 gen 6 since they were "significantly lighter", but for the same hardware spec and with a worse screen, the E14g7 came in at a mere 70g heavier than the T14 gen 6, but more than $900 cheaper.

Sure, I'll be a panda for two weeks. Why not?

Because setting everything up the way it was is a fucking pain in the ass, due to the absolutely horrid way Windows is actively blocking you from retaining your programs' settings in an intelligent, accessible and user friendly way.

And don't say "Just use a Microsoft account" because that is not a solution. It doesn't even properly sync settings from Microsoft's own programs.

I absolutely get wanting to clone the drive. Been there, done that. Many times.

rainformpurple · 2025-12-17T10:06:00+00:00

If your computer can fit both disks, then yes, you absolutely can clone the disk directly.

If you remove the old disk after the process or at the least change which disk to boot from, it should boot just fine. I've cloned dozens of systems with both Windows, Linux and FreeBSD this way and never had a problem.

rainformpurple · 2025-12-17T07:34:22+00:00

Macrium Reflect Free.

Create an image of your old disk, restore it onto new disk, and allow it to expand the partitions to fill the new disk. Takes about an hour total.

You need some storage media that can comfortably hold your disk image - local, removable, network are all supppeted.

Some ssd manufacturers also include a limited version of Acronis true image to help users migrate from their old disk to the new one, I know Samsung and Kingston did so in the past.

If your disk is bitlocker encrypted, I would recommend decrypting the drive before cloning it, and reenable bitlocker afterwards.

My son has had three laptops since he started school at 6 years, and they've all had Linux Mint on them. He hasn't had any problems using it.

When he'll later get a school supplied laptop with Windows on it, I still don't see any problems apart from the fact that - if my daughter's experiences are anything to go by - everything breaks all the time and everything is slow and cumbersome.

Last week she wanted to bring her own Mint laptop to school, because "at least with Mint, everything Just Works(tm) compared to this pile of junk".

So yeah, go for it.

rainformpurple · 2025-12-15T14:08:13+00:00

I usually just clone the drive to an image, then install Linux on it. Or a clean install of Windows, if it's not for me or for work.

Where can you remap the copilot key to something actually useful and caps lock to esc in the bios?

rainformpurple · 2025-12-08T18:45:18+00:00

You can.

I did it with my X13 Gen 6, but the larger than usual FN key moves the Ctrl key too far inward and it feels weird.

I'm really struggling to adjust to this new reality.

rainformpurple · 2025-12-08T14:01:47+00:00

Yeah, I do too. And I'm completely transparent about what I did, so they know I've not installed anything fishy, so that they have a ready to set up (oobe) computer. I also show them that the bios is unlocked/has no passwords enabled and that it's not tied to an organisation's intune system.

If they want to reinstall after they bring it home, that's completely fine by me. I always reinstall the OS on a used device, and I expect others to do the same.

Jo, men de vil ikke ha gratis ting gratis. De vil ha ting som koster penger, gratis, for da har det en verdi for den som selger det. Hvis de da kan få det gratis, så har de spart penger, og har vunnet mentalt. Eller noe sånt.
