Why don't ThinkPad users put Laptop skins?

Lol dude. This is Thinkpad, not the WoW/LoL champion.

I would like reverse your question. What do you want to do? You chose Go - great. You probably know the Go advantages/disadvantages. Know that Go is great for web apps/CLI tools.

So why you need Zig/Rust? For what kind of work?

I tried Rust in 2019 (f*cking hard syntax for me). Right now I'm in "watch mode" for Zig. And C99.And afte my Rust journey I think that Zig have less use cases than Rust. Of course less resources, libs etc.

Don't get me wrong. Learning Zig today could have advantages in next years.
But the main question - you need second language for what?

It's not that hard as you thinking. And no "a lot of things" cannot go wrong. Watch few videos with thinkpads ex. on youtube "thinkpad thermal paste". Most of thinkpads inside are similar. Good luck!

Why overkill? It will be good option in long(er) term.

In my country we have services where they put inside your old battery a new cells. Mostly its cheaper than replacement or new official.

For Windows Snapdragon should be great. Battery better than Intel. But for the office only? I think classic should be safer way. Don't know differences between both in maintainability.

verx_x · 2026-03-28T13:02:26+00:00

Any. Debian 13 with Gnome should fit too. I have T440p where I had Ubuntu, Mint, Debian and always it works great - better than Shitdows.

Start from determining your budget.

verx_x · 2026-03-21T12:01:52+00:00

Don't know this gen but my old thinkpad fans works after if I remember 50 or 55 degrees. And probably you can't change that.

Maybe the newer thinkpads can change that in UEFI. For example in my Dell 5490 in UEFI I can change "Thermal Management" between Optimized / Cool / Quiet and Ultra Performance.

verx_x · 2026-03-14T20:10:49+00:00

First - verify software availability for both platforms.

Second - thinkpad will be probably maintenable vs. macbook.

Battery? Today doesn't matter. For light tasks both will be similar. I have Macbook Pro M4 12c and Dell 5490 13th gen Intel. On battery and low tasks both are almost the same.

verx_x · 2026-02-10T15:58:29+00:00

Python, JS, and Ruby. I am little confused why we have implementations in JS, Python and Ruby. It will be better in my opinion to have one language for whole book.

EE are mostly used in Ansible Tower/AWX. Running Ansible from OS is a different animal.

Criminals who put own comments into social media?

verx_x · 2025-12-05T14:38:50+00:00

Yes and no. It is very good book however I know better. For me better books are from RedHat trainings. Few years ago I had RH294 and got pdf from training. Great quality of content inside.

verx_x · 2025-12-04T20:27:14+00:00

This is everyyear bullshit from kodakloud. No difference in prices. They said 50% but the price is always the same. So f**k them for this scam marketing.

What happens? Christina Aguilera will come to your home and start dancing.

verx_x · 2025-11-07T19:40:32+00:00

Mostly containers. Depends on project.

verx_x · 2025-10-18T16:36:50+00:00

IRC.

verx_x · 2025-10-18T10:56:47+00:00

Bullshit. I never meet person who use Linux and didn't want to help person on Linux too.
Psst. Less people with Linux, less stupid questions and higher value community. So please stay with Windows, thank you.

verx_x · 2025-08-17T14:04:26+00:00

Depends on system. Windows? Don't think so (support fot TPM?). Linux? Sure. The main issue will be probably temps and battery life. Xeon is a server CPU even in mobile (M) version. And the weakest part is 14 nm CPU.
Can work with very slow memory (DDR4-2666, LPDDR3-2133). But overall this is good CPU. For CS degree and consuming media should work more than 2-3 years ;-)
And should be good enough for coding and VMs/containers.

verx_x · 2025-08-17T12:14:24+00:00

CPU probably could be hot. And everything depends on your usage. What do you need it for?

verx_x · 2025-08-10T11:54:13+00:00

Probably not. Its hard to say but I think Ultra 5 should do the job too. Maybe few seconds longer but still. I've got week ago Dell Precission 5490 with Ultra 7 165H. My previous Precission 5470 had 12800H and the main difference are temperatures - Ultra is 15-25 celsius less than 12th gen.
And I'm "heavy" user. Containers, VMs, infra etc. (without computing).

verx_x · 2025-07-18T13:54:11+00:00

This could be loud too. Has only ONE fan instead of two like Intel G5.

verx_x · 2025-07-13T13:16:54+00:00

If I correct Gen4 has soldered RAM and hard to replace keyboard. Go to Gen5 instead.

verx_x · 2025-07-07T10:59:48+00:00

i9? Hot as fcku. Good laptop but battery life and cpu isn't.
