If you want a player with video out it’s almost guaranteed to not have any USB out for copy protection reasons. But a random PC plus the USB drive of your choice will fit both requirements.

Touchpads are hard. Well good touchpads are hard. Especially small ones. Just look at laptops. Besides Apple it took like 20 years for them to get good. And even then they still suck randomly.

Just don’t write bugs. Problem solved.

They’ll somehow make the client 32 bit but still need a 64 bit computer.

I’m guessing they’re all just behind an internal hub.

The x870e chipset only provides 2 20gbit ports (type c only) 12 10gbit and 2 5gbit ports. No idea how the USB 4 ports fit into the equation, but I think the 2 are mandatory.

My Thinkpad P1’s is soldered :( At least that came with a good Intel Wireless card.

But somehow on my T14s (a much smaller machine) it wasn’t soldered.

But then on the bigger T14 it is soldered. So I have no clue what is going on at Lenovo. At least the machines with good wifi cards are soldered, and the shit ass ones are

Not all laptops have replaceable wireless cards. If you have a thinner machine they probably soldered it on. But I can’t find any rhyme or reason to what manufacturers do and don’t solder.

We need equality in the gaming space.

We should shame everyone who plays games on phones equally.

That article is a year old and is missing the latest generation of cards. Neither AMD nor Nvidia produce those GPUs anymore. AMDs best GPU from their 9000 series competes with Nvidias 5070/5070ti. The 5090 and 5080 are unmatched.

Nvidia is the only real option for AI work. Before Trump lifted the really restrictive ban on GPUs to china they had to smuggle in GPUs from the US, and if you’re Joe Schmo the only GPUs you can really buy are gaming ones. That’s why the 5090 has been selling so well despite it being 2k and not all that much better than the 4090 in gaming.

Also AMD has no high end GPUs, and Intel barely has a mid range GPU.

Those really low capacity cards have DIRE read speeds though. I wouldn’t want to cheap out too much on them.

We have one SD card at work that seemingly works fine, but has read speeds of like single digit Mbps. It’s plenty for the arcade machine it runs with no more than 10mb roms at the max. But oof is it bad.

Unless you manually configured a bunch of things you shouldn’t need to do anything at all. AMD generally has great open source drivers so everything should just work™️

OP wants a “laptop Grade” processor which generally means x86. The pine tab has a rock chip arm CPU which is… dire? It’s 5 years old and even then was based on a like 7 year old process node. Very Linux first for an arm tablet, but not a laptop grade CPU.

Nvidia for compute* has always been fine on Linux. It’s Nvidia for an actual display that’s been the biggest problem.

My work uses tailscale to get to work things. and I just want a VPN to get into my network at home. Maybe every once in a while connect to something like Mulvad. All 3 distinct programs that have virtually no idea about each other.

With OpenVPN just add as many taps as you need. With wire guard it doesnt way to play nicely with any other Wireguard VPNs running.

Can you run multiple wire guard connections simultaneously? The reason I stick with OpenVPN is because my work uses wire guard and I can run two connections at the same time.

I like how the website doesn’t even work anymore.

Wait wifi doesn’t work with the Surface Kernel?

They’ve finally started removing them from boards, and I’m annoyed. I want my NKRO.

Most of them are internally connected via USB apparently so there’s no difference. Not that the average e sports player would even notice.

It’s a youtube video so whatever youtube is these days. I tested with this M1 Macbook Pro and it was using about 7 watts so 3 watts more is pretty good for pretty much anything. I think my 12th Gen. laptop typically draws about 13-15 doing the same thing, but with a much dimmer screen.
