I kind of feel bad for the kid and hope he’s actually learning something as he goes on.

If not he’ll be a “AI-native” McDonalds employee after the bubble bursts.

418 comes from an April fools’ joke published as RFC7168.

I’ve used it for debugging before because it stands out and is generally suported.

I love the explanation at the end.

Now the question would be about AI but the answer would be the same.

A while ago I was thinking about doing something similar, but tearing down a working one seemed wastwful. I also couldn’t find a motherboard on its own (neither trough the repair program nor elswhere), so I shelved the idea.

The battery lasts about a mont in that laptop and gets worse quickly over time when not regularly charged.

I’m not sure if the short runtime is caused by the design-decision of using a rechargeable battery or a big power-draw from it.

For me this is also the first laptop that ever had an issue like that. Even my decade old thinkpad is still on its first CMOS battery.

It’s a coin-cell battery. Traditionally it was used to keep the memory that stores the bios-settings and the real-time-clock powered when the PC was turned off.

By now the bios settings are stored ona different kind of memory, so it doesn’t need power when turned off.

But the rtc still needs power when the laptop is off as well as other stuff (for example the circuitry that makes the power-button work)

In the framework it’s also rechargeable, so you can’t just swap it for a cheap one from the store once it runs out.

I have a 11th gen Intel Framework 13 running PopOS.

Everything is fine except the bug feature with the rechargeable CHMOS battery. On my model it only charges when the laptop is charging. (They changed that behavior in all later model afaik)

Since I use my laptop only sporadically I can’t just pick it up and use it right away because that battery is always empty. When it’s empty the power button doesn’t work even when the main battery is fully charged.

I put that in so people don’t come out of the woodwork to tell me that the US already have some fascist tendencies.

I wouldn’t classify Project 2025 as “more standard American bullshit”.

It’s basically a guide on how to turn the USA into a fully fascist country within one presidential term.

There was four years of Trump and nothing particularly bad happened.

He didn’t really have a plan for his first term. That’s why he only was able to do a few bad things. This time around there is a plan.

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned here yet is that windows 8 is out of support since January 2023.

It’s good that you don’t use it for anything because there are for sure as hell security issues with it by now.

I’m still assuming death is inevitable at some point.

If I get “death by plane crash” for example, I don’t necessarily have to fly for this to happen.

If the prediction cannot be altered I might. Because that way I basically have plot armor until I die.

If that information just reflects the current path I’m on but changes based on my actions I don’t want to hear it.

It’s called "reduce, reuse, recycle’. OP is asking about step two.

That doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. It just means that the demo wasn’t public.

I don’t think the internal wear-leveling and overprovisioning of SSDs can or should be able to replace raid. Disregarding a dead sector without losing capacity is great, but it won’t help you when (for example) the controller dies.

Depending on the amount of data you’re storing SSDs also might be too expensive.

The only exception is maybe Raid 0 in a normal PC. Here it’s probably better to just get one disk for each logical drive.

You’ve just made an enemy for life!

I already use that name everywhere online, might as well put it on my passport.
