The battery lasts about a mont in that laptop and gets worse quickly over time when not regularly charged.
I’m not sure if the short runtime is caused by the design-decision of using a rechargeable battery or a big power-draw from it.
For me this is also the first laptop that ever had an issue like that. Even my decade old thinkpad is still on its first CMOS battery.
It’s a coin-cell battery. Traditionally it was used to keep the memory that stores the bios-settings and the real-time-clock powered when the PC was turned off.
By now the bios settings are stored ona different kind of memory, so it doesn’t need power when turned off.
But the rtc still needs power when the laptop is off as well as other stuff (for example the circuitry that makes the power-button work)
In the framework it’s also rechargeable, so you can’t just swap it for a cheap one from the store once it runs out.
I have a 11th gen Intel Framework 13 running PopOS.
Everything is fine except the bug feature with the rechargeable CHMOS battery.
On my model it only charges when the laptop is charging. (They changed that behavior in all later model afaik)
Since I use my laptop only sporadically I can’t just pick it up and use it right away because that battery is always empty. When it’s empty the power button doesn’t work even when the main battery is fully charged.
I put that in so people don’t come out of the woodwork to tell me that the US already have some fascist tendencies.
I wouldn’t classify Project 2025 as “more standard American bullshit”.
It’s basically a guide on how to turn the USA into a fully fascist country within one presidential term.
There was four years of Trump and nothing particularly bad happened.
He didn’t really have a plan for his first term. That’s why he only was able to do a few bad things. This time around there is a plan.
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned here yet is that windows 8 is out of support since January 2023.
It’s good that you don’t use it for anything because there are for sure as hell security issues with it by now.
I’m still assuming death is inevitable at some point.
If I get “death by plane crash” for example, I don’t necessarily have to fly for this to happen.
If the prediction cannot be altered I might. Because that way I basically have plot armor until I die.
If that information just reflects the current path I’m on but changes based on my actions I don’t want to hear it.
It’s called "reduce, reuse, recycle’. OP is asking about step two.
I don’t think the internal wear-leveling and overprovisioning of SSDs can or should be able to replace raid. Disregarding a dead sector without losing capacity is great, but it won’t help you when (for example) the controller dies.
Depending on the amount of data you’re storing SSDs also might be too expensive.
The only exception is maybe Raid 0 in a normal PC. Here it’s probably better to just get one disk for each logical drive.
Dekkia.
I already use that name everywhere online, might as well put it on my passport.
Deleting my account now means Musk wins.
Oh, I see. I had it on different disks with one efi partition at the start of each. Windows didn’t like that.
Windows will leave your EFi linux boot alone.
I wish that was True. Windows loves to overwrite boot partitions during major updates in my experience.
X is old and very hard to maintain. A lot of rules about how displays work have changed drastically since X became a thing. X went along with most of those changes, which meant the introduction of more and more hacks to keep it running.
Over time X became worse and worse to work on and people realized that it’s easier to write something new from scratch instead of trying to fix the decade-old technical debt in X.
That new thing was Wayland and over time most if not all people that where interested in working on desktop compositing pivoted away from X.
Wayland (as it is always the case with new software of that size) didn’t hit the ground running. It had various issues at the beginning and also follows a different desig philosophy than X.
Despite a lot of issues being fixed some people are still very vocal about not wanting to use wayland for one reason or another. While some of those reasons are valid, most come from ignorance or laziness to adapt.
Maybe they where talking about the shape some cheap in-ears have? If headphones don’t fit your ears well, they’ll start to feel uncomfortable or even hurt after a while.
From what I understand this wasn’t a decision dictated by sanctions nor was there any strongarming. Otherwise it would’ve happend way earlier.
I also think splitting politics and literally anything else doesn’t work and is something people who benefit from the discussion (or lack therof) made up.
