  • Having had both, I can say that with the framework you get a much better display, but you lose the trackpoint. The framework has better repairability, but has less IO. The hardware on the framework is well supported on Linux, but can be hit or miss on thinkpads, especially newer ones.

    The only thing I’m really missing on the framework is the black thinkpad chassis - can’t really get used to the aluminum.







  • I went on a trip through the Ardennes and the weather was horrible. Hailstorms with hail sticking to my visor and lining the street, half an hour later sunshine. Heavy rain a whole day long.

    The rain liners did their job. The pant liner has an elastic to keep it in place and I was able to put it on and take it off over my boots (with a bit of struggling). There also isnt any v cut. The water didn’t puddle anywhere or creep in. Actually, the only parts of me that got wet were my fingers because the gloves were absolutely waterlogged!

    Maybe you had a different model liner?









  • Was mich als ehemaligen Fotonerd bei der Szene zum unteren Bild mäßig triggerte: der Kameramann schoss ein Bild nach dem anderen, kam mit dem Spulen gar nicht hinterher. Mit einer Rollfilmkamera. Einer Mamiya RB 67, der maximal 20 Bilder pro Spule 220er Rollfilm schießen kann, oder 16 Bilder in 645er Format mit 120er.

    Ich war wesentlich zurückhaltender mit meiner Mamiya, habe allerdings nicht die Finanzen von Vault-Tec.



  • One Friday afternoon, Gary called the engineering staff together and announced that he would give them all a raise over the weekend. On Monday, when they returned to work, contractors began raising the building to make room in the basement for a new Digital Equipment Corporation VAX 11/750 computer system. After several weeks, supported by heavy wooden beams and house jacks, the engineers’ desks were five feet higher.

    I’d have loved to work for him!





  • Beyond the proven addictive effects of handing a dopamine device to your kid, there are legal ramifications many parents aren’t aware of.

    WhatsApp and TikTok aren’t just there like air, free for all to consume. They are service providers and both sides are bound by a contract, the EULA. IIRC, WhatsApp recently reduced it minimum age from 16 to 12. So if you install WhatsApp on your 8 year old’s phone, you have broken the contract.
