PHP 8.5 8 months ago

IMO, newer PHP is still very readable. I programmed with C++ for a decade, but I can safely say that I cannot understand a modern C++ code base anymore.

Not sure what exactly the point is. The OP is saying almost 0 users are affected and this is not true. I was only saying that the license change affects quite some people. Whether rightly or wrongly is not mine to debate (I have nothing to do with redis!).

Why do you think almost zero users are affected by this change? If a business was built on hosting redis or providing managed redis, that company is now inviable, no?

note: I am not disagreeing with the license change, just asking why you think nobody is affected.

Stupid question: but how do you search for something along a specific route? The search nearby thing never quite works for me, it keeps zooming out / clearing, I never got the hang of it.

This is so weird, like a warrant canary but with heart emojis on what we used to call Twitter, but is now called X. I'm living in such an unexpected timeline.

not sure why you got downvoted, but I am with you. I find all this is hilarious.

Mostly just web development stuff - firefox, terminal, vs code, thundebird, background music etc. I am hardly ever without power so I haven't really spent much time on this. But thanks for the suggestion, will look into powertop. I assume this means that you use linux on zenbook flip ? Which distro do you use?

As for resolution, I wanted to try to run it lower res but Ubuntu crashes in lower res :/ Will have more time on the weekend to investigate.

Seems like I lost access to my old account, so had to create a new one.

I just bought this a couple of days ago. I went with the ryzen, OLED version and 32GB RAM. I ordered without an OS and run Ubuntu on it. The decision was between T14 , the carbon x1 and the framework.

My previous laptop was a x1 gen 3. The laptop hinge broke :/ I absolute love this machine.

Impressions so far:

* Ubuntu 23.04 and Gnome runs so good that we even setup a donation on behalf of our company to the Gnome foundation. Ubuntu 22 will keep locking up.

* Everything works - camera, video recording, qualcomm wifi, all function keys etc. Even fingerprint login works!

* Gnome tweak tool is your friend. Especially to adjust those font sizes. I switched to noto from the default ubuntu.

* Keyboard is great but x1 carbon is still the best :-)

* Maybe my eyesight is failing me but I find no great difference between the FHD of x1 carbon gen 3 and OLED with 3 times more resolution.

* Batter is like 5 hours of so when I am working full time. I suspect OLED has something to do with this low battery life.

* Love that the camera has a physical switch

Some other tips:

* When you order be sure to not order the computer vision camera. This doesn't work on linux and there is a post on LKML saying it won't work for the next 2 years atleast.

* I am based in berlin, so ordered from Germany. You can order the "Beleuchtete Tastatur, schwarz – Englisch (EU)" keyboard for the US keyboard. Only practical change is euro sign instead of dollar in number 4 key.

* In the penultimate order screen, lenovo will sneak in a support option. But there's actually a basic support option which will save you some money. I think only difference is you might have to mail in your laptop for fixes, not sure.

AMA.
