it’s fucking incredible i love it

Old Intel crapbook air from 2013 or 2015. The battery life wasn’t ever great, but it significantly diminished when i changed them to linux. I expected an increase…

very bad, sadly

installed Linux Mint on various apple macbooks i got second hand and the battery life is abysmal.

Agreed. Still i’d rather use mobile data.

i don’t use this kind of wi-fi anyways because anyone can grab whatever you send through it

the witcher 3 is great It shows short sentences but Geralt doesn’t exactly say that and usually develops a little more. If you are impatient, you can choose a simple sentence and skip the talking without losing the general meaning. You can also listen to the whole thing.

boomer vibes

i hate it

deserves deflated tires

That’s interesting but never forget the difference between exams and real life is huge. Exam test cases are always sorta typical clinical presentations, every small element pointing towards the general picture.

In real life, there are almost always discrepancies, elements that don’t make sense at all for the given case, and the whole point of getting some residency experience is to be able to know what to make out of those contradictory elements. When to question nonsensical lab values. What to do when a situation doesn’t belong in any category of problems you learned to solve.

Many things i think generative AI, due to its generative nature of predicting what word is most likely to come next based on learned data, wouldn’t be able to do

I’m not really conviced by fairphone. They claim they have an ethical and ecological supply chain / manufacturing but there is very little on their website to support that claim. The phone is made in China like any other smartphone. The “Fairtrade Gold” label doesn’t mean Gold-rank fairtrade materials, it means that only the actual gold that’s inside the phone has the fairtrade label. The amount of gold in a phone is ridiculously small and doesn’t represent the major part of the phone’s emissions footprint. They have another label which name I can’t remember but I looked it up and the terms are very vague. After all the electronic components are still electronic components : copper wires made from copper, qualcomm CPU made in the same qualcomm factory, etc. I don’t think a label changes that.

All in all I don’t think that buying a brand new, 580 € smartphone with subpar performance is a good move if you care about the environment. Buying a used phone sounds like a much better option to me : cheaper, better performance, probably not as serviceable BUT it’s already living a second life anyways.

I tried to be enthusiatic but FP looks way too much like a cash grab aimed at people that care about the environment
