There should be a setting in BIOS for sleep state that lets you choose between "Windows sleep" and "Linux sleep". I know I have to set that to "Linux sleep" on my P14s gen 2 AMD or it wakes up immediately after going to sleep. Updating BIOS and the other firmwares might help too.

However I have a gen 7 from work running Windows that often fails to wake up from sleep or hibernation, and I have to resort to poking the reset button to get it to respond. Coworkers report similar troubles so I think it may be a cursed model.

That said, I'm running OpenSuSE Tumbleweed KDE on my P14s and an X1 gen 5. Everything works smooth out if the box on both machines except for the fingerprint sensor on the gen 5 which doesn't have mainline fprintd support in any distro.

I never used Itanium, but I'm guessing that the Alpha workstations also ran x86 code faster than the Itaniums. fx!32 was one of DEC's marvels that they completely forgot to market.

Similar, but not the same. The biggest difference of course is that the MIPS ISA is still commercially licensed while RISC-V's ISA is open.

Tumbleweed is boring, and that's why it's wonderful.

Nah. The current license holder for MIPS announced its death a couple of years ago.

RISC-V is the new hotness.

Costco still runs stores on AS/400. Ever wonder what those all-text terminals are all over the store?

RMS would never touch Java.

Slackware is the 50 year old percolator in the break room of the DMV.

Correct. We've replaced all our incandescent bulbs except for two 60w contractor bulbs in the a hallway that were installed when the house was built 18 years ago. All of the original higher wattage incandescents died within the first couple of years.

The C64 had a notoriously garbage power supply that would eventually cook the machine regardless of how clean your line power is.

UUCP. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

A large green pushbutton with a Molly guard labeled "OK" I found in a scrap pile behind the physics building.

CC-NC prevents commercial use...

For a system level stress that hits cpu and memory hard, get the kernel, unpack, then

while make mrproper && make defconfig && make -j vmlinux && make -j modules; do date >> last_build.log; done

Olivia channeling Bell is the series' crowning achievement.

This is the future oldpeoplefacebook wants.
