My wife and I meal prep M-F as well. We solved the weekend problem by ordering children portions or splitting a single adult order. The portion sizes served adults are far too large. When going to a sit down restaurant, we usually leave with leftovers.
That StarFighter looks crazy. I too bad it’s 5 months out. Thanks for the recommendation!
I was engaged in a conversation in the Technology community and both my post and any content in the community disappeared. I can still get to the post, but am unsure what happened. I’ve posted a screenshot showing the Technology community without any content.
I like the idea of a System76 machine, but have never used one IRL. Nor do I know of anyone who has one. As a result, I’m hesitant on making the leap without some level of expertise/experience to back up the decision.
Yeah, the RAM is a hard requirement. I’d like more if I could. My desktop is AMD so I’m not against using them at all if it makes sense to do so. I’ve also enjoyed Lenovo in the past but couldn’t find a well enough equipped unit for my liking.
I’m in DevSecOps, and do a lot of heavy development and testing, as well as PoCs. Ideally, I’d have 128GB of RAM but laptops aren’t quite there yet. The HD is a Samsung SSD.
I usually have the GPU set to integrated graphics unless I’m doing some heavy load in which case I’ll switch over to the nvidia GPU. I also switch between power modes depending on my use case at the time.
There’s not a lot I can do with the CPU other than the optimizations I’ve done thus far. It’s actually one of the main reasons I’m looking to upgrade so I can have better performance per watt and take advantage of various cores depending on workload.
That’s an interesting point. I could buy my wife a new Air and update her M1 to run Linux. Thanks for the suggestion!
Yup, it’s absolutely on my list. I’m specifically interested in the 16”, but it’s not available yet. Additionally, the soonest I could get the 13” is Q4. I’m wanting something before then.
Thank you for the feedback!
To add, while I still enjoy my laptop, my biggest issues are battery life and heat. This thing could fry an egg when it’s under load. At best, I get 3 hours of usage on battery even with a lower resolution, low brightness, power management utilities optimizing performance, and running on my integrated GPU vs the nvidia GPU.
I’m in the market for a new Linux laptop. My current machine is a 2018 i7 with 64GB of RAM, a 4K screen, 1TB of storage, 2x USB-C and 1x USB-A.
I’m looking for something that can match my current specs but brings great battery life, modern Wi-Fi, and a fingerprint reader. I don’t have to have 4K, and may actually prefer lower resolution for the battery savings.
I’d love to hear some recommendations for a machine built within the past 12 months. Thanks in advance for your feedback!
It’s my understanding that Mastodon and Lemmy work together well in the Fediverse. I CAN see my Beehaw account from Mastodon, as well as other user accounts, but have difficulty understanding how I can specially find and follow Beehaw and/or other Lemmy instance content via Mastodon.
The reason for my inquiry is two fold:
-
Using Beehaw in my browser on iPhone regularly causes Safari to crash. As there’s no viable iOS app for the platform as of yet, this greatly limits my ability to interact with Beehaw.
-
I’d like to use a single interface for both Mastodon and Lemmy if possible. I’m currently using Ice Cubes and really enjoy it.
Has anyone else figured this out or am I misunderstanding the concept?
