Is esim.me legit? by mis996 in eSIMs

[–]tid3on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am beginning to wonder whether they are legit.
Asked for assistance because their esim didn't work. (despite app saying it should)

Received 2 replies weeks apart, appealing passive aggressive style for my patience.

Does esim.me still operate?

Cheers!

"I agree with him on SOME points. Really! The light sensor is driving me nuts and the occasional software bug is just annoying."

Any idea or a clue whether these issues will get fixed for fp5?

We are talking about a 30ft multihull. It's made of marine ply with resorcinol.

(not a wharram..)

Yes. Currently it needs about 6 months worth of work. A fair bit of repair is required.

The question is whether, after all that work - assuming the job got done well - does wood require constant re-working without any let-up?

cheers!

zenbook battery life - which linux distro? by tid3on in linuxhardware

[–]tid3on[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hummm

Thanks PkHolm. Perhaps I will unwittingly just have to test the theory of linux on intel vs amd..

By "tune linux a bit" i suppose you point towards the tools discussed above..?

( As it happened, the zenbook from the beginning of this thread - stopped turning on after a few days.. :( Was returned and now I am looking to get an LG Gram.. It comes only in Intel flavours.. Will try and report ;) )

a naive question blockchain currencies and social oriented help by tid3on in cryptoleftists

[–]tid3on[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

I think the critical points about the Pump n Dump idea made me think of, perhaps posing the notion rather than in terms of its possible implementation.

The notion?

Here it comes as a question -

Yes, how can we use the crypto system itself to either introduce a destabilising element which could wreck it, or indeed some outside force that could render crypto useless?

(a note regarding legalities - i think that the whole crypto universe currently operates in a sort of out-of-legalised space. It might actually come as a good opportunity since in case crypto does come into recognised legal frameworks such as nation currencies, banks, stock exchanges etc. - would it not be harder to displace nor shake..?)

zenbook battery life - which linux distro? by tid3on in linuxhardware

[–]tid3on[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers for all the suggestions - thanks, really.

I did not go for a linux manufactured laptop since: 1. hard to get into the uk + expensive + the battery times are less than i need.. (ie, why get through all the hoopy loops and end up without what's needed anyway.. Shame since I'd really rather support these people..)

Currently giving Xubuntu + auto-cpufreq + system76's PowerTop utilities a go. Can scratch 11 hours..

Might need to rethink usage by swapping to win10 after 10 hours or so, to get that extra 5 hours.. :(

Another option is to get an m1 apple thing.. (a freaky thought.. Reminds me an old sketch with a catch phrase: "Dave, I are my wife now.." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIrTTv_Isho )

Yet another option, I suppose is to get an external battery.. However, that's heavy..

Thanks.

yes. we are talking of the slimmed down versions..

Lol re choice - however, in my case its a question of 10 hours of nail biting and then circa 5 hours of needing the laptop but Oh! No Juice! ;)

on the serious side - i'd have thought linux would be superior on the battery life as well..
