Born at less than 320ppm CO₂.
Programmer and bus driver. It's a long story :-)
Based northern UK & Scotland
Europhile, especially since I worked 1½ years in north Holland.
Currently: C#, C, the language that shall not be named
\#Assembly (for fun) on Intel PC and IBM #mainframe (emulated, these days. Download and unzip "TK4-" and you can play, as well).
Also other things, including a compiler for a new language. That should be ready in a decade. Or 2.
@FireTower @otter I have 2 USB-A adaptors, because I use an external CD drive with additional USB-A cable to deliver power. Same for the external DVD drive.
I also have a 2nd (spare) USB-C in my bag if I need it, or in case one gets damaged.
@OsrsNeedsF2P Or French, or Dutch.
@OsrsNeedsF2P Again, in English please...
@redd Fedora 39 here on an Intel FW13. It's my first Linux-only hardware and I only run Windoze (in a Boxes VM) for one application.
No regrets.
Minor niggles only, one of them probably caused by me being hasty. It has never failed to do my usual (edit/compile/debug)
I never got VMware networking right (possibly due to lack of experience with VMware), so I stick with Boxes.
And I installed Win10 on a spare SSD, just to set up the fingerprint sensor. I've not booted that SSD since then.
@lemmytellyousomething I got the FW 13 DIY with a small SSD, then upgraded to 4TB from somewhere else.
@sarmale @mineapple The only change I'd like to see is replaceable key caps on the FW13, so I can have a penguin (Tux) instead of a 'Windows' key.
For now I use a penguin sticker :-)
Why is the US \ so small? ;-)
Several countries have \ taller, and wider at the top.
My UK keyboard is the same, and I'm probably too old to adapt to a smaller \ and having the | \ @ ~ and # in (what I see as) the wrong places :-)
@Rand @Nitrousoxide Just got my 13th gen with FW-supplied RAM (and a Corsair SSD).
Lost 2% in 6 hours using Fedora 38. I haven't tried Windows yet.
I had USB-C, 2 * USB-A and audio card inserted, then just shut the lid for a meeting and forgot all about it until I opened the lid in the evening.
So it can work well. I expect progress will continue, although hibernation would be nice as well.
@Contramuffin I decided to give it a go, and downloaded Workstation bundle and ran it. Installed OK, but running VMware it needs kernel-headers-6.5.10-300.fc39.x86_64 and I can't find that anywhere, so I guess it's a bit soon for Fedora 39 :-)
@Contramuffin Anyway, parcel undamaged/unopened.
Fedora 39 running nicely. Very happy :-)
I've had a thought--previous machine had Windows 8.1 Pro for one old app, and I need 1 copy of Windows anyway.
How about keeping Fedora as my daily driver, with #VMware Workstation running an image of my old Windows 8.1 Pro?
Any 'gotcha' I should worry about?
@Contramuffin Well, well!
Today, FedEx said the parcel was still stuck in customs, then 20 mins later someone who said he is a neighbour brought it around on foot, saying it was delivered to his pkace 2 days ago.
Vikki didn't recognise him from the local area...
@framework I've just had a reply to my support ticket confirming it's been escalated to their logistics team.
Maybe now I'll get some info :-)
I hope it's insured for this!
(https://lemmy.ml/c/framework) Has anyone here got ideas about how to deal with a false delivery notice from FedEx?
@framework Has anyone here got ideas about how to deal with a false delivery notice from FedEx?
No response yet from Framework via the support link in the order confirmation e-mail.
\#fedex have form for this. Someone (driver?) 'signs' for the package, which never arrives. Customer kicks up a stink, then FedEx sometimes find it down the back of a sofa 2 days later.
This seems very, very dodgy to me!
