I wonder if the amd models from framework perform as well as other oems in terms of battery life. The other guy in the thread said that his 2 Intel laptops perform worse due flawed firmware.

Ooof. Only time I had that issue was when I used a 35 watt laptop adapter with my old HP laptop. It wanted a 65 or 90 watt adapter.

Since the cooling system is self contained in the module, you shouldn’t have that issue.

Industry first Nvidia card? Like it’s a bit thin but that’s the closest I can get to “erm actually”

Only argument I could make is that this is the first gpu module that has a self contained cooling system. Older mxm cards were just the PCB.

I have a Sony vaio F series laptop from 2000 and it apparently has an mxm ATi Rage Mobility M1. So I can confirm that at least.

That said, the cooling system is contained in the module. Afaik the mxm modules were just PCBs.

I’d recommend disabling boost and setting cooling to passive.
On windows, if you set maximum processor usage to 99% in advanced power plan settings, it will disable boost. You can set the cooling policy as well. Also repasting is probably beneficial. The more efficient your cooling system is, the less fan usage it will need and you’ll get better battery life as a result.
That’s what I noticed on the i5 laptop, it would kick on the fans doing basically nothing and would kill battery. When the fans were off, the estimates were higher. Also maybe disabling the P cores in both machines might be beneficial.

Out of curiosity, what cpu? I had an i5-1135g7 laptop that I motherboard swapped with a Ryzen 7 5825U motherboard. The battery life on the i5 was atrocious. I got 2 hours out of it doing note taking. Maybe 3 when new and I had the full battery capacity to work with. After the motherboard swap, I got basically double the battery life in the same conditions.
(HP pavilion 15-eg050wm and then I put a 15-eh2085cl motherboard in it)

I’m 90% sure it’s from “The Ice Guy and his cool female colleague”
It’s your average office romance with various people being descendants of various spirits. Ive read the manga and it’s not bad, had no idea it had an anime. It is the SLOWEST of slow burns.
I’m definitely going to watch it.

- Comment on Liquid Trees 3 months ago:
I should have mentioned this but usually stuff like this is planted in front of people’s houses etc. I wouldn’t expect a pine tree planted in one of those. Same with a palm tree.
I’m from Pittsburgh and there’s a lot of greenery projects and ecological restoration currently going on. Outside of the city, it’s very heavily wooded. But it’s slow progress.
Those giant algae tanks miss the large point of trees and their physical benefits and do feel like a tech bro solution looking for a problem.
- Comment on Liquid Trees 3 months ago:
A few reasons: Trees need a lot of space and the space underneath a sidewalk isn’t enough for long term life. They can die after like 30 years? This is tree dependent and location dependent.
Tree roots can destroy sidewalks making it harder for people to go over them. (Think people in wheel chairs)
Liability in terms of damage (have you seen trees after a storm?)

It can probably tow more, usually 500 kg is like the bare minimum for American cars. Also us towing standards are a bit more strict. A car in the EU is rated to tow more than a car in the US, even if it’s identical.
- Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k 4 months ago:
EVs have a very low COG due to the batteries being at the bottom of the car. This is a good thing for handling but making them lighter would be even better.

Anime that uses a light novel as its source can be good. Ameku MD doctor detective is awesome (and also mostly accurate from a medical standpoint) and it’s a light novel first.

There’s also the deep computing mainboard from framework. Also that p550 uses a new CPU while the mainboard uses a jh710.
The p550 is less rpi and more like those rockchip powered boards from radxa. (ignoring core count).

It’s not even applicable to most vaccines.
Basically polio spreads through poop, and this is your shedding. Oral Polio Vaccine does this as it’s a weakened form of the polio virus and exhibits the same spread and provides vaccination indirectly to others. The US uses E-IPV, which is inactive and harmless and doesn’t have this spread.
You’ll only find OPV being used in countries with very inadequate medical access as it can be administered orally(hence the name). Only downside is that if you are very immunocompromised, there is a non zero chance you get polio and a chance you suffer from paralysis.
Flu vaccines, covid vaccine, literally anything else doesn’t have this “shedding”. It’s literally one vaccine that isn’t even administered in the united states.
