What would lemmy.sh do? Install the latest screenfetch and post it online?

On Framework Laptop 13 Intel platforms, that means Thunderbolt 4/USB4
Framework Laptop 16 additionally supports up to 48V/5A charging
Impressive. It is short enough that I’m not surprised it works. I have a 4 inch passive cable that successfully does TB4/PD100. I’m not ballsey enough to try anything higher. Looks like there’s maybe some passives on the other side of the one they currently sell, but that doesn’t count.
- Comment on USB-C extensions are not allowed for a reason 3 days ago:
They are if you have a retimer/redriver. Most extension cables do not.
I can’t find a picture of the inside of the module, but I guarantee you it’s not just a straight through cable. It’s got active circuitry in there.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds on why desktop Linux sucks 1 week ago:
IMO Linux’s biggest problem is choices. Normal people don’t really want choices, they just want the one, and it needs to work. The second you tell them there’s 17 different options, and each one has 9 sub options, and each sub option has 4 more sub sub options they just tune out. Got a problem? Google “Linux fix XYZ” and there’s 300 different fixes and maybe one of them works. Or maybe it doesn’t.
With windows there’s 1 or 2 windows. You get what Microsoft thinks is best. Don’t like it? Maybe someone’s made a tweak. But odds are too bad, suck it up. And then they move on with their life.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 1 week ago:
I loved the servers that were 24/7 metro, no drags etc. some of those were (and still are) my favorite. Or pistols only, no Glock 18. When you get rid of custom servers you get rid of that custom experience.
- Comment on OpenAI releases a free GPT model that can run on your laptop 1 week ago:
I tried it out last night and it ran quite well on my heavily thermally limited i9 11950h/rtx 3080 laptop. I had maybe 6 or 7 gigs of main ram used in total, with docker running. It was only using about 12 gigs of vram in my very limited testing.
- Comment on Google search boss says AI isn’t killing search clicks 2 weeks ago:
It’s probably upping my number of search clicks because I want to figure out what sort of crack it was on when it came up with my answer.

This is the internet, we’re only allowed to be snarky here.
- Comment on I tried Servo, the undercover web browser engine made with Rust 3 weeks ago:
Why would it? FOSS doesn’t have the funding that commercial software does.
- Comment on Is it okay to cover the outside of a microwave in aluminum to prevent or lessen microwave WiFi interference? 3 weeks ago:
Also microwaves are only 2.4ghz. Any modern device should have a strong 5ghz connection in what I assume is a cramped apartment.
5ghz also has less interference problems, but it’s not immune.
- Comment on Families took safety into their own hands by painting yellow cross walks. Now, the city of Los Angeles is removing them. 3 weeks ago:
Research undertaken in New Zealand showed that a zebra crossing without other safety features on average increases pedestrian crashes by 28% compared to a location without crossings.
See, that’s mostly what I was thinking. “Zebra stripes” make pedestrians feel safe to cross, and have virtually no impact on drivers who can easily just ignore them. But paired with other things they are a good addition, especially since it tells pedestrians where to cross.
- Comment on Is it possible to make wireless charging broadcast electricity throught an entire house similar to how wifi can broadcast to the entire house? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, but it’s incredibly slow, wasteful and, unsafe. Companies have tried making hardware that does this at a room level, but have largely failed because it’s so wasteful and slow.
Eevblog has a bunch of videos debunking these things youtu.be/2rSQnRV5ztI
- Comment on Families took safety into their own hands by painting yellow cross walks. Now, the city of Los Angeles is removing them. 3 weeks ago:
Any time I see an intersection I assume there might be people. Downtown where I’m at there’s rarely crosswalks at intersections unless it’s a major through road.
- Comment on Families took safety into their own hands by painting yellow cross walks. Now, the city of Los Angeles is removing them. 3 weeks ago:
Does painting a crosswalk really increase safety? I feel like the type of person not pay attention and run someone over is the type of person to not care if there’s a crosswalk, not pay attention, and run someone over.
- Comment on Does the ping between your eyes and brain increase when you're tired? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, besides falling asleep at the wheel that’s also why you shouldn’t drive when tired.

Feta and goat cheeses are also white, but I doubt they go on pizza.
You thought wrong.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Im a casual gamer
No. You have to be dedicated to this and push for years to maybe, just maybe make actual money. Not only do you have to be a gamer, but you also have to have a personality people like.
- Comment on If i stain or spill a drink on a shirt, can i just wash it in the bath with generic soap and let it soak rinse and dry to get the same thing as a whole load of laundry? 4 weeks ago:
This was how people washed clothes before modern laundry machines.
- Comment on How active is too active while being on lemmy? 4 weeks ago:
The biggest key is the quality of posting. If you’re posting a fuck ton, but it’s amazing content that fits the community and does well then yeah it’s great. If you’re just reposting memes from other communities or straight up trolling then that shit gets annoying real fast.
- Comment on Do dams pregame? 4 weeks ago:
But can’t dam operators see a storm forecast and start drinking, er draining, ahead of time?
Yes, they already do this. When rain is expected they lower the levels of the dam. Even just smaller rainfalls not quite flooding territory. But there’s only so much water you can drain before it starts causing problems for the dam.
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 5 weeks ago:
You can’t hold a gaming laptop in your hands (and actually use it)
Of course a larger device will cost less/provide better performance. You’re paying a premium for the handheld formfactor. Just like how with a gaming laptop you’re paying a premium vs a 50+ pound desktop.

- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 1 month ago:
W11 is full of AI integration, always-on data collection, and other no-sell bloatware
Windows 10 is the exact same BS, but 10% less in your face AI. Have people really been frog boiled this badly?
- Comment on Duke University lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies and signal transduction 1 month ago:
I had truck nuts on my Outback. They were bright pink.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on Owners of laptops with very cheap aftermarket batteries, is it worth the discount? 1 month ago:
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.
