What are you really looking for? You mention GeekBench, multi-core performance, battery life, speakers, memory, and screen size. But you mention Rust compilation. So I’m confused, do you want a powerful machine or one that has a long battery life or a machine that looks and sounds good?

I see EUR and fr-fr, so you must not be in the US but in France or Belgium.

Also your comparison is not really equal. You’re comparing a M5 Macbook Pro with an M5 Pro 18-core CPU, 20-core GPU with 24 GB system memory (3200€), and 1TB SSD to a HP Elite G1a with 64GB and 1TB SSD (4900€). If you give the macbook pro 64GB of memory, then you’re at 4300€. If you take the default M5 Max config (18 core CPU, 32 Core GPU) and the default 36GB RAM, you’re also at 4800€.

What is your budget?

Looking at nano review and sorting by multi-core performance, this is the list:

(why not geekbench for multi-core?).

As you can see, AMD and Ryzen do well (and that snapdragon), all the way to Intel Core i9 13980HX.

Here’s a Tuxedo laptop with a Ryzen 9 9955HX and 36GB RAM for ~2800€. Make it 64GB and you’re at ~3500€.

Or here, a StarFighter Ultra with Intel Core Ultra 9 285H, 64GB RAM, 1TB storage.

Otherwise there’s linux preloaded where you can find stores that sell laptops.

One wht?

This dude maybe should learn to keep his mouth shut and play the game. Delete the blog, wipe the presence, reset the online identity. Until he finds a job, he could contribute to opensource to have something to show, or retrain in some other thing like a trade job.

Being loud on the internet and showing that you can and will be a problem for the company, even if you’re fighting the good fight, will get you in trouble. Unless of course he finds a job with like-minded people.

My online identity isn’t tied to my real identity. At least, I try hard not to because otherwise I’ll have to add a disclaimer to every post “these are my views and not that of my employer”. The more you give to recruiters, the more reasons they have not to pick you. Your online presence (if any) must be the cleanest, most professional that you can manage - especially if you’re a minority.

People posting with their real names should just learn to STFU sometimes. Free speech doesn’t mean “no consequences”.

Modern phones are extremely convenient. Being able to plan your trip, go on it, take pictures, listen to music, stay informed, book hotels, and everything else with a single, small device is much better than having a separate device for everything. Smartphone are MP3 player, laptop, camera, and GPS device all in one.

I do wish the OS weren’t controlled by one single entity and were fully opensource, always.

It’s just jibing. I don’t think the comment was meant in earnest. Many, including me have had bad bosses and felt unheard and left due to it.

Lol. Skill issue of xlibre devs, eh?

Apolitical people doing apolitical stuff, I guess.

My previous response to this question.

And she’s trans too, right? Would send DHH in a frothy frenzy.

So are we all.

It can interact with peertube, pixelfed, miskey, and many more things. Lemmy only really sees the threadiverse part of the fediverse.

But he interface of mastodon isn’t threaded, so it’s unusable to me. I was point to Sharkey and akkoma, which I might try instead, but I feel quite comfortable here, honestly.

Because desktops are expensive. You people just can’t afford them. You need to put at least 1k into the PC then another 200 into the screen, then mouse, keyboard, headset, webcam… They are cheaper off buying a phone.

Young people barely own stuff anymore. Their wealth is historically low as the tech barons, land barons, and so on own everything they want: homes, tech, uni debt, subscriptions, everything. And meanwhile the young are expected to work longer hours for less pay. In certain countries their pay is taxed up to 50%, but a wealthy person doesn’t get a salary so they aren’t taxed.

Their parents didn’t do much better either, but they didn’t have it as bad. But it was bad enough that daycare and childcare is fucking expensive, so they shove a phone into the child’s face: now the children know phones from a very young age and are also conditioned to buy one asap because it’s all they know.

So yeah, I don’t blame young people for not owning PCs. Our society has fumbled, is fumbling, and will continue to fumble making it affordable. If we want young people to be more interested in computing beyond telling Claude to write shit for them, we should be worrying about the wealth gap and affordability crisis.

Uh… Can’t think of anything else. Maybe post 2 videos instead of 1?

Maybe make a comment on a video or post on or linking to another fediverse platform e.g comment on a peertube video or share a peertube video.

Keep using it, I use it too.

What I don’t understand us why they had to go and write a totally new OS instead using Linux. They might be able to sell it to a bunch of Chinese, but how will it fare globally? Now there’ll be yet another platform to develop apps for. It’s like that xkcd comic about standards: there are now X competing standards

The most privileged companies will pay Trump and magically get access.

Write more slop, obviously.

The fabled Windows 12

Honestly, I wish people stopped sharing them.

Congrats! Less people in the shithub platform.
