Yep. There was an assumption 20 years ago when common switches were 100Mbps and running cat5e that you’d have to upgrade cable to get the next speed tier, 1Gbps.

It propagated wildly, but was always incorrect. Cat5e was very much capable of gigabit Ethernet by design.

It was only beyond gig that you’d need cat6, and even then at short lengths 2.5/5/10Gbe has a good chance of working on cat5e anyway (but don’t do it).

High quality cat 5e would have done the job.

Original cables must have been faulty.

Some how I automatically read this in Greta Thungerg’s voice.

How dare you!

This is verifiable in manufactures data sheets.

Efficiency at less than 20% and greater than 80% loads isn’t great relative to in between those ends.

This is compounded by lower wattage PSUs being more limited with regard to features and benefits.

If you end up with a 650w PSU and your system idles at 80 watts for the bulk of a working day you spend long periods of time in this less efficient window.

We need to see some quality 300w to 600w designs come back onto the market.

From Chinese parts

That’s what anti islanding is.

Prevents power from going into the grid when it’s down.

Way I read it is it puts surplus into the grid to keep you elec bills down.

800 watts isn’t exactly going to set an outlet on fire.

Good police need good tools to respond to anything that could happen.

Imagine a 9/11 variation with an armed group instead of planes.

That’s going to need a rapid and powerful police response. Armed forces are not an option with such short notice.

The real issue you should concern yourself with the the quality of the police themselves, not the tools they used.

I’ll back you any day on that front.

2 is fine.

I know where you’re coming from, I use a closed notebook with external display sometimes.

I might need to be more specific. If the notebook is used as a typical notebook, and one closes it with the intent of putting it to sleep, once sleep has been reached an external mouse should not wake it.

However if you do toggle the power settings to allow the machine to function with the lid closed and/or machine docked then you do want to mouse to wake it keep awake the machine.

Okay… then by that logic you’re ok with America’s defence forces being deployed against citizens?

I don’t think you understand the meaning of multi purpose.

This used to be so much easier back in win 95,98,xp days.

There was a startup folder in the start menu and all you needed to do was drag what you wanted into it.

This is an example of something that got harder.

Had this issue for years over 2 machines.

One had some shit in the background the prevented standby.

Other was so simple it pissed me off… … the damn mouse jostling around in the laptop bag was walking it up.

I’m still going to point the finger at windows because 1) there should be a better tool for identifying what is keeping a system awake and 2) should be default for a mouse to not wake a portable machine who’s lid is shut.

If it has anti islanding at least it’s unlikely to be a shock hazard.

That said are there any other concerns I’m missing?

Cheap shitty knockoff reboots of a product are not newsworthy or even post worthy.

Is my opinion unpopular?

Claims to describe the claimed issues with the framework display but instead literally outlines the issues with the chosen OS instead.

Like… fine, be annoyed, but at least be honest. The framework display has no faults.

Linux had issues with DPI.

It’s still an issue, still legit, not it’s not a faulty display.

Great… And and will this abundance be shared or hoarded for profit like everything else that is abundant already is?

About damn time.

Trying to find your way around an unfamiliar system where everything started with K was enough to put me off desktop Linux.
