They sell the F4 with /e/OS

That’s an Android ROM and can’t provide the longevity of mainline Linux.

Framework laptop is a good option as well.

I had a Framework and really liked it. Unfortunately the components just degraded really quickly for me, and now can't work but 20 minutes at a time until it freezes completely. Swapped out for a Thinkpad last week.

Even swapped out the Framework mainboard after a long back and forth with support. Just some poor battery unloading or similar causing shorts. I was very close to committing my company to using them until this started happening to my tester unit and my lead engineer's tester unit.

I hope the best for Framework -- I really love their repairability promise -- but before I can commit my company to them I need them to not be lemons.

I'd be running a RAM test.

Try out Memtest86 - I think it's also usually an option in the boot menu on Ubuntu live-DVDs.

Let it run overnight, I've had crashes like that before where the RAM only starts failing after a few hours of memtesting.

I tried to work around that by trying different RAM sticks. 2 initial + 2 new, both sides, swapping, using only one, etc.

I guess next step would be Memtest! Thanks for the reminder.

How long in months was “really quickly”?

tomrod · on Sept 25, 2022

First freeze in the first two weeks, six months until unusable.

Comes with “vpro corporate.”

Docker is very slow on MacOS

idontwantthis · on April 20, 2022

How slow? Using it every day here on MacOS with no difficulties. Using Rancher Desktop as well.

Go boot up a Linux machine and see for yourself. APFS has been a Docker bottleneck for years, and thats before we even get to the kernel issues...

I'm pretty sure a lot have a life insurance which put a part of the money on the financial market

Could someone link this blog post here?

Do you know you don't have to remove the wheel to repair a puncture ? Remove one side of the tire from the rim and pull the inner tube, then patch it.

xorcist · on Nov 29, 2020

Isn't hard to find small punctures with the tube still stuck around the wheel?

zrobotics · on Nov 29, 2020

Partially inflate the tube after the tire is pulled aside, then run a mixture of soapy water over the tube. Sure, the tire is a bit in the way, but that is still less hassle than removing the wheel. The only real danger is that the tube needs to be treated carefully to keep it from snagging on things and causing more damage.

jacquesm · on Nov 29, 2020

Indeed. The only time you remove the wheel is to replace the tires.

Exactly. I don't know what are everyone talking about. It's one of the biggest, if not the biggest, hosting provider here in Europe. It's older than Google.
