I have a similar usage pattern where there might be days at a time where I don't boot up my personal laptop. With an 11th Gen and Fedora I set it up with a swap partition and force it to hibernate after 30 minutes. So far it's worked well.

It can take 10-20 seconds to boot up but battery drain while not is use has dropped to maybe 2% for any extended periods of non-use. As an 11th gen user, it exacerbates the CMOS problem I mentioned earlier but that hopefully shouldn't be an issue with the 12th gen mainboards.

This is a guide I've seen recommended: https://community.frame.work/t/guide-fedora-36-hibernation-w...

Hope that helps.

I have the DIY FW13 Intel 11th Gen with Fedora. I've had an overall positive experience and have enjoyed tinkering with it.

My only negative with it has been the issue specific to 11th gens where the CMOS drains and eventually dies if the laptop is left unplugged for days-to-weeks at a time.

On the whole Framework handled the issue well, there was no permanent fix without soldering or replacing the board. The company was upfront, provided support, a replacement battery, and even published a how-to on modifying the mainboard after the fact. With a start-up I was expecting some bugs. This one was irritating but not a deal breaker. I think how they handled the problem and how they've proven their commitment to upgradeability through the 12th, 13th, and Ryzen boards speaks well of the company.

While I am extremely keen on the AMD versions that have rolled out recently, I can't justify the purchase when my current FW13 still works well enough.

The FW16 probably isn't for me but I hope it's successful. I really want to see the docking station that can double as an eGPU using the FW16 discrete GPU module. There was a prototype mentioned in passing about a year ago but it's been radio silence since then. I hope the success of Framework laptops and the growing market for gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck makes the modular eGPU concept a little more reasonable. It's still incredibly niche but one can dream.

I've had my framework laptop for about six months and I'm not really a linux adept (I basically just read online guides and bash on my keyboard until the problem fixes itself). But honestly, I genuinely enjoy using the framework laptop with Fedora.

The battery life during light(7w)-moderate(12w) usage is approximately 5 hours.

Stand-by was the real issue in my opinion (it would drain 1-2%/hour). I got around this issue by setting up a swap partition and forcing hibernation after 30 minutes of sleep standby.

Apparently there are some new tweaks that were added to improve standby, but I am happy with where I am and don't want to change anything, so I can't speak to their efficacy.

Two defunct website games from 20 years ago come to mind.

- Archmage

- Archspace

I think back on those games fondly and haven't found anything that scratched the same itch.

You'll still have a battery drain issue for Fedora 35 (1-2%/hour while in suspend). Like some other commenters, I went through the extra hassle to set up a swap partition and sleep-then-hibernate. I genuinely enjoy the laptop now that I've resolved the standby battery drain.

Almost but not quite.

I listen to one of two audiobooks. They are books I've read half a dozen times, so it's more about comfort and consistency. There's the added bonus that I don't have any worry about missing anything if I forget to set a sleep timer. I prune my normal podcast feed regularly so the only podcasts I have are ones I don't want to miss any details

1. "Dune" and "Sandman" are the two I listen to the most, both are really well produced ensemble casts. For actual podcasts (not used for sleep), I enjoy The Intelligence from the Economist, Writing Excuses, Hardcore History, 20,000 Hz, 99% Invisible, and all the ubiquitous NPR Podcasts that focus on storytelling. I would say all but the first two podcasts mentioned might be good podcasts to relax to.

2. For normal podcasts I use PocketCasts, for audiobooks I just default to audible or Libby (Libby/Overdrive have increased my library usage 10-fold). If I have to worry about waking someone else up, I just use a single bluetooth earbud on the side I don't sleep on- otherwise my phone just plays from it's charging dock.

Does anyone know of a site that connects recipes by correlated ingredients?

Example: If you made recipe X, you should try recipe Y which uses 75% of those same ingredients, or recipe Z which has 80% of the ingredients in common. That way you can buy those core ingredients in bulk but still have something new and fresh for dinner.

The meal-prep dream for me is 10-15 recipes that taste good, are as distinct as possible, but have the majority of their ingredients in common.

To butcher a phrase, spice needs to be the variety of life in this scenario.

Wow. Thank you for posting this. It looks like a fantastic resource

Not quite the same, but for a book that shows the power of weaponized empathy, Richard Morgan's "Altered Carbon" (the book version specifically) has the envoys as empathic super-soldiers.

When you can easily move a consciousness into different bodies, the most dangerous opponents are those that can empathize with their enemy to such a degree that they can pass as one of them seamlessly and unconsciously predict their motives and reactions.

But I can't think of a single messaging application google has created that doesn't require a google account to use.

In a semi-related tangent, The Economist recently had an article about the unintentional destruction of evidence when deleting terrorist propaganda.

The content should be removed from discourse, but I think there is value in making it a silent ban instead of deletion. Keep the post visible to only the poster, no one else can see or interact with the material once it's been flagged. It's effectively deleted, evidence maintained, and the user loses their behavioral dopamine fix once their content no longer generates any support or any controversy because it's fallen off into the void. I'm not sure what the unintended consequences would be of such a strategyth.

As I understand it, there is an increased risk of death related to suffocation/co-sleeping.

Speaking only for myself, but the ribbon interface helped me learn the majority of keyboard shortcuts I use today.

Once I leveled up past basic Ctrl+C/V/X, hitting Alt and having the Ribbon UI guide me through the shortcut combinations was helpful. I concede Control+Shift+V is easier, but having a visual guide until I finally memorize all the different paste options with ALT H V has it's merits as well.

I was curious about that as well. The official ARM site doesn't list one but another distributor lists the related ISBN as epub.

All of my dating is YYYYMMDD or YYYYMM. Anything that comes before the '.' (e.g. 41.Eberron Campaign) is a two digit code to describe the file, the first digit = type of document and the second digit = personal priority.

It's probably convoluted from the outside looking in, but it works for me.

I probably overthought it but it makes finding things pretty straightforward.

Do you have a source for that?

Not the original poster but the iPhone 5 had a 1440 mAh battery while the iPhone 11 has more than double that with a 3110 mAh battery. For comparison, iPhone 5 was rated at 10 hours video playback while the iPhone 11 is rated at 17. So ballpark guess, that hybrid version would have ~8 hours video playback compared to the iPhone 5's 10.

Rough numbers all around, especially since battery usage is largely driven by the display, RAM, and CPU.

Matt Colville did a number of twitch streams of NetHack. I don't think he does them regularly but his archived streams were a great introduction for myself.

He goes by MCDM on twitch and youtube.

I share that sentiment and I can't wait for USB 4 to show up in consumer products.

I feel a bit like a broken record on this, but the topic deserves discussion.

Electoral college is a valuable part of US elections but gerrymandering and winner-take-all states destroy the institutions usefulness.

Alternative:

1. End "winner-take-all" allocations of electoral votes

2. Any party that gains the minimum population/electoral vote (Wyoming puts that at ~200k) in any state is guaranteed at least one electoral vote in that state

3. All remaining electoral votes are allocated proportionally based on general election votes

4. If no majority winner exists, the party with the least number of electoral votes casts their vote to other party/ies and this repeats until a winner obtains 270. If a rather obstinate third party refuses to proxy their votes, those votes are dropped when calculating majority.

This should remove the spoiler effect, function within the current voting system, and off-set any perceived difficulty in rank voting to the actual parties. It would also provide a strong leverage point for third parties to have a say in government policies which is probably why it would never be adopted willingly.

I played with Project Stream during the technical beta and I would say it cleared the hurdle of "good enough." The resolution was good and the input lag was normally small enough to be compensated for or go unnoticed.

Since the majority of this venture's hardware appears to be in-house and, I assume, easily re-purposed for other core services I'm less cynical about the half-life of this product.

I have no intention of buying the controller but if this let's me stream to my existing hardware with minimal friction I would be interested. If they structure it as a monthly subscription with a robust catalog they would probably get my money.

I'm curious to see what happens.

They make for good PR and are truly extinct; recent extinctions have the potential to be a little less cut-and-dry.

We'll need the research if we ever try to bring back species that went extinct in modern times.

So the equivalent of the US median household spending ~$8/week on coffee.

It's a bit of a low tech filter, but I intentionally selected a phone number with an unusual area code. It's an area code that I will most likely never travel to or do business with.

With the glut of spam calls that attempt to spoof local exchanges, whenever I see a phone call that uses my phone numbers area code and local exchange I know I can ignore it.

If I received a phone call from a geographically close region I can be relatively certain they have my phone number for a reason.

1. Think in billboards (Construct your explanation in less than 16 words)

3. Hold off. Don’t speak just yet. Seek to compact your explanation.

These have always been the most important/challenging parts of explaining a topic for myself. If I am struggling, I'll take a few moments and ask myself three questions.

1. What am I trying to explain? (What is in-scope)

2. What am I not trying to explain? (What is out-of-scope? "We can come back to that later if you're interested")

3. How would they explain this topic to me? (What is the language the audience would use?)

Not the original poster but I would point to the Shiller PE (i.e. CAPE) ratio as a useful indicator of potential over-valuation. The increasing cost required to make the same in earnings is disconcerting.

A fuel tax isn't effectively a tax on mileage, nor is it an effective tax for offsetting infrastructure costs. An increase in axle weight causes an exponential increase in damage to infrastructure (the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials uses a "fourth-power" rule). Increased fuel economy also has unintended consequences leading to fuel taxes under-funding the infrastructure repairs.

You essentially have heavy-duty or commercial trucks that don't "pay their weigh" and hyper efficient hybrids and EVs that don't "pay their way" when it comes to infrastructure costs.

So fuel tax isn't equivalent to a tax on "miles driven," it might be better suited to off-setting air pollution (pure conjecture on my part), but if you wanted everyone to be responsible for the damage they cause to public infrastructure, you would need some weird calculus of axle-weight/mile driven tax.

Or we could decide major roads/infrastructure are an economic public good worthy of paying taxes on.

Have licensing agreements changed at all in the past 10-15 years?

It seems like shifting to a model of [Base License Fee] + X Revenue/Hours Streamed would improve the situation and allow IP holders to commodify streaming services.

You would still have exceptional cases like HBO and Disney where it would be worth the effort to run their own streaming service to capture all the revenue, but I don't see the average consumer willing to subscribe to an endless number of streaming services (maybe 2-3 tops for an average US consumer).
