    They’re more secure (albeit in many wsys security through obscurity) than private, although the privacy aspect is probably among the best you can get by default as far as I can tell. On the other hand, if you’re willing to do some relatively simple steps and buy specific hardware, you can achieve better privacy and security on both mobile (graphene) and desktop (qubes) devices.

    I personally dislike them for building unrepareable crap, tho.

    CPUs are also somewhat choked. I had to use throttled to make mine run above 2.4 GHz under load. (You need HWP_MODE and possibly Disable_BDPROCHOT, if anyone’s interested).

    But other than that, waaaay better compared to …70 laptops, and some models seem to beat maxed out t440p-s. Also quicksync massively speeds up video decoding/encoding, so I’m overall happy with mine so far.














  • You mean tf is up with bears? There was recently some kind of a social media survey asking women whether they’d prefer to stumble upon a bear or a man while walking in the forest. Bears won.

    Kinda weird since I don’t remember them specifying the place, the type of said bear, the existence of cubs in the bush nearby or the season, so the possibility of getting attacked varies from “oh, a cute panda; guess I’ll just pass by” to being eaten alive by a bear that woke up from hibernation in the middle of the winter, but I digress
