It is an option to play around. But for audio production you really don’t want to be trying to use a VM unless you’re fiddling with USB passthrough (which is a pain). Audio latency on Windows is bad enough, adding Linux’s on top is awful.
Are you sure? I know the successor the T420 supports disabling the graphics. I dont think my 410 ever had it though. It’s under display settings in the bios. Not sure about dell though, they might not have had it.
Lenovo’s bios simulator sadly only goes as old as the T530. But it’s config > display > graphics device.
Replacement? They normally do both face scan and check some sort of ID.
M1 performance with (hopefully) 16 gigs of ram? Yeah that’s the perfect computer for a “normal” person who just wants to browse the web on something other than a phone or tablet.
Honestly I just wish these machines had better display scaling options. I’d really like a “looks like 1080p” (ish) option for when I’m out and about and need to remote desktop into my PC at home for work stuff. Currently I use an el cheapo ThinkPad for that.
Oh trust me, I know pretty quickly when that 3080 turns on and when it turns back off. Hybrid graphics is what I’ve been fiddling with the most.
So far I’ve been playing with Linux on my old work laptop and they’ve been playing together nicely. Almost everything else about the laptop? No. But hey at least graphics works.
Why not just fix the algorithm so you don’t get spammed with those posts? Limit posts from one community to 1 or 2 per page so it’s at least spread out.
It’s kind of a growing pain issue honestly. As lemmy grows and more people post in more communities it shouldn’t be as much of a problem. I don’t know if self regulation like that will really affect the serial posters though.
Android? How many apps do you have installed?
Androids compilation thing on startup is annoying as hell on low end phones. On high end phones it’s much less of a problem.
In 3 years I haven’t had a single attempted connection that wasn’t me. Once you get to the ephemeral ports nobody is scanning that high.
I’m not saying run no security or something. Just nobody wants to scan all 65k ports. They’re looking for easy targets.
Change the port it runs on to be stupid high and they won’t bother.
If you only have one M.2 slot then M.2 to USB adapters are stupid cheap and infinitely useful as a fast AF flash drive.
If your drive is sata then those are also cheap and the same applies, just not quite as fast.
CPU: intel 7th gen or earlier.
I doubt companies will be flooding markets with anything. 7th gen devices came out almost a decade ago (yes it’s almost been that long since 2016) and most companies only keep computers for 3-5 years max.
Zfs through trunas will let you do raid 1, then jbod more raid 1s as you add more drives. That’s how I’ve gradually gone from 2 12TB, to 14TBs, the. Finally up to 20TBs without any hassle. I’m sure other software raids will do the same.
And ran on the xbox 360… which had 512 MB.
It’s a negative feedback loop.
The less time you can spend optimizing games the less you know how to optimize games. The less you know how to optimize games the more time it takes to optimize games. Optimizing games becomes too costly for management. Goto 10.
If you took the sticker off but the adhesive is left over just keep resticking and peeling it off. Do it quickly just push down and off.
Why have two computers doing basically the same job when you could just have one?
Have the NAS be the media server and save power and get better performance.
Listen, do not judge
The first thing to do if someone expresses uncertainty about vaccines to you, say researchers, is not to judge or dismiss them.
What your suggesting only further alienates them, and lets them live in their echo chamber.

There’s known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. The first requires a lot less brainpower than the last.
