Are you sure? I know the successor the T420 supports disabling the graphics. I dont think my 410 ever had it though. It’s under display settings in the bios. Not sure about dell though, they might not have had it.
Lenovo’s bios simulator sadly only goes as old as the T530. But it’s config > display > graphics device.
Because docsis 3.0 standard is nearly 20 years old at this point and 3.1 is significantly faster. Docsis 3.1 is only 15, but 4 (which is still 8 years old) probably isn’t supported by your ISP yet. But the speed difference is quite noticeable. 3.0 will theoretically do 1gbps down, and 100-200 up, but 3.1 could do 10 down and 1gbps up. In the age of symmetrical fiber internet those upload speeds are dire. 3.1 realistically gets you a symmetrical gig connection.
I had truck nuts on my Outback. They were bright pink.
Yeah IoT devices don’t need bandwith, they need range (at low powers) and those lower frequencies get them that. 6ghz wifi has pretty small range and is awful for IoT stuff.
Replacement? They normally do both face scan and check some sort of ID.
Those drives typically have some pretty dreadful read/write speeds (for a computer). Maybe once SD Express is figured out we’ll get fast and good Micro SD cards at a high capacity.
M1 performance with (hopefully) 16 gigs of ram? Yeah that’s the perfect computer for a “normal” person who just wants to browse the web on something other than a phone or tablet.
Honestly I just wish these machines had better display scaling options. I’d really like a “looks like 1080p” (ish) option for when I’m out and about and need to remote desktop into my PC at home for work stuff. Currently I use an el cheapo ThinkPad for that.
Oh trust me, I know pretty quickly when that 3080 turns on and when it turns back off. Hybrid graphics is what I’ve been fiddling with the most.
So far I’ve been playing with Linux on my old work laptop and they’ve been playing together nicely. Almost everything else about the laptop? No. But hey at least graphics works.
Why not just fix the algorithm so you don’t get spammed with those posts? Limit posts from one community to 1 or 2 per page so it’s at least spread out.
It’s kind of a growing pain issue honestly. As lemmy grows and more people post in more communities it shouldn’t be as much of a problem. I don’t know if self regulation like that will really affect the serial posters though.
That hasn’t worked on any (good) machine for the last 20 years. Especially now in the EFI age any important settings like that are stored in nvram.
Do you use tasker or any automation app? Anything time based will trigger the clock.
For a laptop that old it’s not worth the money. Anything “good” is going to be at least 10 years old just sitting in a box rotting.
In 3 years I haven’t had a single attempted connection that wasn’t me. Once you get to the ephemeral ports nobody is scanning that high.
I’m not saying run no security or something. Just nobody wants to scan all 65k ports. They’re looking for easy targets.
Change the port it runs on to be stupid high and they won’t bother.
Mac OS dropping 32 bit support made me realize just how bad the situation is. And that was over 5 years ago.
The fact that any software being made in 2025 is still 32 bit is ludicrous.

It’s not just overhead.
Proton is amazing, but it’s entirely overhead translating library/system calls to Linux.
That is not at all true.
but that’s a separate statement about games being better optimized on Windows.
Is that though? You can’t say X is better than Y when you’re changing multiple variables. If windows had a proton equivalent and both games ran through it then yes that would be a direct comparison. But you can’t say X + Y is better than Z (by itself)
DXVK is a part of proton that also is available on windows. DXVK alone can get you double digit performance improvements on games. And that’s not getting into all the one off tweaks users can do to proton to optimize the game. Enabling pre compiled shaders gave a huge performance boost for Elden Ring.
Games run faster on SteamOS with proton than Windows 11, Ars testing finds
FTFY. I hate all these articles that downplay the heavy lifting proton (and all the tools that make it up) are doing. But “Proton makes games run better” doesn’t get the same attention.
It is an option to play around. But for audio production you really don’t want to be trying to use a VM unless you’re fiddling with USB passthrough (which is a pain). Audio latency on Windows is bad enough, adding Linux’s on top is awful.
