1% higher rated TDP, but real world power consumption is a much different world.

What are your PL1 and PL2s set to? My 11th Gen. i9 has a “TDP” of 45 watts, but really it’s 109. Same for any modern CPU from Intel. Intels website says base power is 28 watts, but “maximum turbo power” is 64.

AMDs website says the 7840 has an AMD Configurable TDP of 35-54W, and they’re kinda falling down the same trap that Intel pioneered. But their power consumption in all loads but balls out is still typically much better, and IMO that’s much more important in a laptop than balls out performance.

I can't imagine that any app that currently exists gives a shit about exploiting your data. Lemmy is too young for that to really be a problem.

The real problem is that nothing on lemmy is private because of it's federated design. There have been some discussions the last few weeks talking about this, but just about every interaction you do is broadcasted out to every instance, and its social media so of course anyone can see what you post. Things like viewed posts and saved content should stay on your instances server, but assume every other action is public.

Larger vehicles don't have lower safety requirements, that's just patently false. They're doing it for emissions compliance reasons as Koala said.

They have the same requirements, and need more much reinforcement to make up for all that added mass. Most of the NHTSA's tests involve either a vehicle of a set size running into the test vehicle, or the vehicle under testing to run into a wall. A heavier vehicle is going to need a lot more reinforcement to reach the same level of protection running into a wall than a lighter one.

They are less safe for pedestrians, but those requirements are all more or less the same regardless of size. Manufacturers aren't deliberately trying to make it less safe for pedestrians. They just don't really put any effort into it other than meeting those requirements, and making the "best" car outside of that.

How new is the optiplex? If it shipped with windows 8.0 or newer then the key is embedded in the bios and there is no transferring of the key.

If it shipped with windows 7 then just activate it like normal over the phone and it should work.

Suicide is a solution. It's definitely not a good one.

Why can’t they? Sure if you ask it to make a pixel perfect replica of the Mona Lisa it will probably do it. But if you’re asking it to make something new it will make something new.

That's the key, humans can take inspiration from other people's copyrighted work, why can't AI?

We use chat gpt at work a lot. Why write a ton of basic code when chat gpt will do it for you 90% error free. Then just tweak a few things and your set.

Plus that asking “can I do X” and it saying no, but you can do it some other way is a huge time saver.

That's kind of the crux of a lot of these things. The instructions make it look really simple to install, but if you've never done this before then I could understand it being confusing. There was this teeny tiny line in the middle of some pictures that says someone will help you set them up I think.

More notably, Radio Free Fedi has been incredibly proactive, offering a free service to help Fedi musicians host their own Faircamp sites on RadioFreeFedi’s infrastructure.

It looks like you just ask them for help and send them some of your songs and they'll handle the setup.

I'd probably suggest having a dedicated machine. You don't need anything fancy, I'd imagine any old laptop should do.

It's essentially software to convert your machine into a basic web server, so if the laptop disconnects now nobody can download your stuff. And I assume you don't keep your laptop on 24/7

Yes.

Old Thinkpads are your best bet, especially for linux support. I scored a new T14s gen 3 for $300 earlier this year, and like a year earlier got a T14 gen 1 for $200.

The Intel Thinkpads should have great support and upgradeable ram, the newer AMD ones sadly have soldered ram.

Google has made AOSP for years and never banned anyone for using it. They encourage you to tinker with the OS.

Instead of 7 small transactions (and higher fees) it’s one big transaction.

I looked and it's either 1.5 or auto, and auto only does 1.5

Your CPU never actually sleeps, it stays in S0 (on). The CPU is still active and doing things, but it's in a "low power state".

In quotes because it's not low power at all. On one of my laptops S0 standby gets worse battery life than just actually being on.

I use it daily at work and it's fine. It does everything you're looking for in the way you're looking for it.

Android natively supports video out for screen recording on your local machine. This just ingests the stream and plays it live instead of saving it.

Even Lenovo is starting to drop upgradable ram from their machines. T480 was the last T*4 series with dual upgradeable ram slots. T490 and up all have at least 1 soldered stick, and the AMD machines now don't come with any upgradeable ram. Their prices to upgrade are at least reasonable unlike Apples.

Shit I got a T16 gen 3(?) for my mom a few months ago and it came with only 8 gigs of soldered ram. That machine is even worse than Apple because AMD locks away 1.5 gigs of ram for just the APU. Intel at least only hard reserves like 256MB or something. Apple gives you the full 8 gigs of ram to play with, no duplicates in CPU memory and GPU memory, plus their really fast swap.

Well nobody wants to run those apps on those machines.

One of my co workers was unfortunate enough to have to do a lot of heavy photo and video editing on an 8gb ram 13" MBP. He says the machine crawls if he has basically anything open.

8 gigs of ram for some shitty laptop is fine. Like the air shipping with 8 gigs of ram is fine (not great, but fine)

But for a "Pro" machine, let alone a 1600 dollar computer is insane.
