Isn’t that obvious? Like processor tech is doing the same thing Turings machine did for the most part just much much faster. Technically you could compute the operations of a chess engine by hand on paper and get the exact same outcome. It would just take… a very very long time. It’s just math.

thanks

that is what my laptop uses. Why mine works and yours does not is very complicated. I looked into it a bit. Firstly, my laptop is a Dell Latitude 7400 (non 2 in 1 model). This supports both modes, but mine is configured to use s2idle. One of the huge pluses of this laptop is that is had a stock Ubuntu option when it was sold. You could get it shipped to you with Ubuntu preinstalled. Now, I don’t use Ubuntu I use Debian but the Dell firmware is still configured to support Linux out of the box. So Linux isn’t being treated as a 2nd class citizen for this laptop. It’s getting the VIP treatment just like Windows.

Another thing is my actual configuration. Thermals prior to sleep matter a lot. If you laptop is too hot it will fail to enter the sleep state it needs to. Meaning it stays hot and continues to run and dies fast. I have heavily modified my laptops thermals. I have the CPU capped at 2.5Ghz, I have tlp running, and I have high quality thermal pads added inside the chassis to spread heat around to the magnesium back plate. Because of these mods my laptop does not use its fan, and the CPU hovers around 50C passively while in use. This means I never have a problem with suspend due to thermals.

I also have components, like my SSD, that are modern and support deep sleep states. My SSD is a WD Black SN770 1TB. Which is both pretty power efficient and supports deep sleep states.

Another thing is that the tlp and powertop tweaks are preventing wakeup triggers that would pull it out of suspend. and of course the last big thing is just that I keep my firmware up to date. Dell released firmware specifically to fix modern standy issues and I have that update. Dell ships easy firmware updates to linux users and you can install them with a few clicks and a reboot. Another advantage of the Linux native support.

Really can’t reccomend the laptop enough if you want a used business class machine its great and you can find them for 200ish$.

Well idk what about my setup isn’t modern? I guess my laptop is a few years old but its not that old. 2020 model. and I run debian stable so not bleeding edge but not crazy. My laptop is just one that ships with an ubuntu option and so it has good linux compatibility in general. So that probably helps.

i can put my laptop into suspend and lose maybe 2% of battery per day at most. So hibernation seems a bit unnecessary. Maybe if your RAM is less efficient or something? Idk.

im not that person but just let me chime in dont run this code on your pc. Its very sus.

I know but it’s walmart. The attendant is handling 30+ self checkouts and I’m not waiting 10 minutes.

I’ve walked out of Walmart before over wrong prices. I was just there to look at the camping section and see if they had any deals. There was a cooler on sale for 10$. I go scan it. 30$. I just left it there at the self checkout and went home.

It’s so annoying. I’ll scan something big and the computer is OUT LOUD saying at me “BAG YOUR ITEM” like NO! I DONT WANT TO!

Self Checkouts are not even self checkout anymore. You go up and scan your stuff then 2 times out of 3 someone has to come over and approve that you scanned everything. At that point just open the normal lanes back up

I think your arguement is kind of silly. Kid’s schedules are bloated? With what though? Is it actually valuable? Maybe if they’re bloated we should… get rid of the bloat and add in things that would actually help them.

Also, you aren’t teaching them what will be useful in a home in 30 years. You are teaching them what will be useful NOW. When they go to college, or get an apartment in a few years. If we didn’t teach people things that changed we wouldn’t teach SCIENCE! But we do. Because when you have a baseline and things change you can update what you know over time.

On top of that, your argument is self defeating. You are similtaneously saying kids are too busy for a class on this stuff but also saying they should just teach it to themselves in their free time. If they’re so busy when do you expect them to do that? The entire point of a class is so that we can MAKE TIME for them to learn this stuff.

I’d say anything that is relatively common and could potentially be dangerous if not maintained properly. You don’t need them to be masters of every appliance. Just to be aware of the dangers of the most common ones.

Hey, theyre clearly made for eachother. Good for them tbh.

I genuinely think that you should take a class in highschool that teaches basic life skills like this. 1 class each year. It could cover cooking/nutrition, mental health, chores, financial literacy, First aid basics, etc. Then by the time thye graduate they have had 4 years of teaching about basic stuff like that. I bet it would save tons of lives.

Well I think there could also be a place for like niche curators. Like a blog that goes and finds all the strategy games that are actually good and posts reviews of them. If your a fan of that type of game you follow them, they try all the shitty ones so you don’t have to, and point you to the good ones. Same with other niche things.

Well I do have a blur thing on here. I edited Noctalia to remove the rounded corners. I like them sharp for this theme. It fits the fallout vibe more imo. Will have to try Umbriel out at some point but I’m pretty happy with the result I got from this theme for now.

does it have an overview?

I think we’re reaching a point where there is going to be so much stuff around be it games, tv, movies, music, etc all made by AI and all just garbage, that it will make curating a huge deal. Like we’ll need to have services whose sole purpose is to sift through the marketplaces and find quality stuff to then present to people. So you’ll have a two tiered system where on one hand you can browse “everything” and it’s just a deluge of stuff and then on the other hand you can go to a curated marketplace that only lists stuff that is known to be high quality. But it’s going to take time for those curated places to pop up, and in the mean time we are gonna be swimming in slop.

Well niri is actually perfect for me because I am a gesture user. All my navigation is done with mousepad gestures.

The Keychron K3 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard might be to your liking. It’s small tho idk if you prefer a full size. But it’s very low profile, has a backlight, good build quality, etc. And is quite quiet. If you like a membrane I think you’ll like it.
