Was the first character I finished a campaign with. The DM and I played the chest light beam on rolling an 8 as instead being nipple lasers because who doesn’t like a 7 ft tall Minotaur barbarian shooting nipple lasers…

We are going through a batch every week approximately. Batch 6 just got charged so about 12 weeks for batch 18?

Framework: let’s put a high resolution display in our laptop GNOME: oh shit I can’t handle more than 1080p correctly! Jg1i: Why would Framework do this?

Espresso (like water) is ~1ml per gram. So if your shot is not weighing 29-31 grams then it’s not 30ml of espresso. There will always be some loss as water stays in the puck, so if it’s weighing more like 25-28 grams then likely that other couple grams is still in the puck.

Honestly can be completed in a week or two with after work evening sessions. Total story is only about 20 ish hours. So definitely not one to pickup at full price but on sale.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart on PC. Brought back a lot of nostalgia but also stood on its own very well. I can count on one hand the games I’ve bothered to 100% and this is one of them.

The main issue I was seeing on Lemmy with Shinobu is due to the low popularity shows. We already have a much lower active user count than Reddit does, so a lot of automated discussion threads here get completely ignored. So this just creates a lot of clutter in the feed with posts on 0 votes and 0 comments.

The main thing I’ve been seeing is that since it just picks up every airing series, it can create spam of the same series which is releasing multiple episodes at once. As well as posting discussion threads which routinely get 0 votes and 0 comments on them even after days from being posted due to being an extremely niche show.

I believe Framework said they are looking into fixes for this issue, either with firmware patches or if neccesary a hardware revision of the USB A module. Current workaround is just to not put USB A into those two back slots.

They were talking about the usb modules. The back two on either side (the ones closest to the screen) have an issues where the USB 4 Type C to USB A adapter is not fully going to sleep when nothing is plugged in. So ArsTechnica’s reviewer most likely had one of the USB A modules plugged into those two USB 4 ports which causes their apparent poor battery life.

Stock android on the Pixel’s have just an “Internet” button which controls both wifi and mobile data. You can press it, then it will show toggles for wifi, mobile data.

I believe the price difference came from you being part of the Lenovo business store, I didn’t use that the last time and just used the standard consumer store.

I just re-entered the specs on the consumer store for the X1 Extreme Gen 5 16" and got 5,214 Australian Dollars. Otherwise it might be if you aren’t in Australia, did you get the local dollar amount and convert to AUD or did you use the Australian store directly?

Anyway, doesn’t change the main point as you say that if you are bargain hunting, the Framework 16 isn’t the way to go but it’s still a good laptop from what we can see. I don’t mind spending more for the framework since I believe in what it stands for. Plus who knows what might come with upgrades down the line.

I just got a pre-order for one of the Framework 16’s. The issue Framework has at the moment is scale. Lenovo has the size and customer base to produce an absolute insane number of laptops compared to Frameworks operation. So cost is going to be 30, 50 or even 100% more than the big boys like Asus, Lenovo or HP. They won’t ever get that scale unless people believe in it and buy one.

However, there’s one other thing which I justified my purchase with. I could buy a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme with the i7-2700H, 32gb of ram and a RTX 3050ti for $AUD4,929. Or I could buy the Framework 16 with Ryzen 7840HS, 32GB ram, Radeon 7700s for $AUD3,916. Both of these processors and GPUs are similarly speced, in fact I believe the benchmarks had the Framework slightly ahead, but the framework comes out over $AUD1000 cheaper. Yes the Thinkpad X1 Extreme is their uber premium model, but just as you pay a premium for Lenovo’s business grade hardware, you pay a premium for Frameworks repairability.
