I don't even know what you could do to make the battery that awful that quickly and not be physically damaged. Like I'm legitimately baffled.

Maybe someone left it baking in the sun it's entire life? I've never tried leaving batteries at like 140f (60c) all day. Honestly I'd really like to know how it's physically possible.

It's not like the frame rate was bad though. Like the video was updating, it was just the scrolling that was jumping. It made 0 science to me how just the scrolling was lagging but not the frame rate. Grated 60fps on a 4090 is abysmal, and this was only a month or two ago.

Is scrolling still janky? I have a 5800x 3D and a 4090 and I’ll get about 60 fps in a fresh city, but scrolling was like 5 fps. The game was still updating, but the scrolling was broken. And the dragging to build streets was janky too.

I returned the game after that. It made me nauseous trying to do just about anything.

32% battery health is impressive. I have phones that have kept on a charger for 4 years straight with better battery health. How the hell did they manage that?

Also replacement OEM batteries have always been stupid expensive. User replaceable or not. And 3rd party ones have always been garbage with very few exceptions (RIP zero lemon 10,000mah battery for my note 3).

They deliberately slowed down phones with defective batteries to prevent them from randomly crashing. Which would cause a lot more people to complain than the phone being slower, but not turning off at 30%.

Wait the galaxy watch only had 16 gigs of storage until this new model? The Apple watch has had 32 since the series 5, and the series 9 is apparently 64.

I want wireless charging for when I put my phone in the phone mount in the car. Plugging in a cable in that mount is such a pain in the ass, plus I can't have my phone in the position I want with a cable sticking out.

I feel like it’s just going to end up allowing lower quality games. And importantly for epic, more of a cut for them.

And completely loses the privacy goal.

We do this at work and we have basically a full time dev working on maintaining the code for just a few websites.

But no wireless charging. :(

All I dream for is a phone with a low-mid range power efficient CPU, NFC AND, wireless charging. And I guess root.

Flagship phones have all of those, but get ass battery life when doing things like maps on a bright day. Cheaper phones end up doing so much better, but they never have NFC and QI.

 

Does anyone have a copy of the original Windows 7 recovery media for the X1 Carbon Gen 2? I can find gen 1, and most other later gens. But not this machine. Currently it's running it's factory install, but it's horrendously slow and I'm not fully sure why. And sadly the built in create recovery media option says there's nothing to be found.

Does anyone else have any experience with these machines? Were their SSDs always so horribly slow? 550mbps read is good, but 100mbps writes is bad even by 2013 standards. The touchbar takes what feels like ages to respond, and with age has discolored in a really gross way. Overall it seems like a pretty well built machine. But man, what was Lenovo thinking?

 

I have a BASE model T14 gen 1 (1366x768 screen, lowest end i5, base ssd etc) and I was wanting to eek out a bit more performance out of this machine. It's quite thermally constrained with longer loads despite being the base model, and it's fan seems to barely move any air at all.

I know along with other T series you can install the heatsink from the higher end models with dGPUs and get much better cooling. Has anyone here done the same and can report back on performance differences?

Part No 5H40W36701 is the heatsink I have. Part No 5H40W36700 appears to be the model for the dGPU macines. Lenovo lists it as $61.16 for this part, but ebay has them for a little over $30. So the next question is it enough of a difference to justify it?

 

Is anyone aware of any switches (or media converters) with SFP+ ports capable of negotiating 2.5Gbit speeds that don't cost an arm and a leg?

I have the Google Fiber 2 gig plan and I'd like to get rid of the fiber box since they've been extremely unreliable and our 4th one has just died. Unfortunately in order to get the full speeds I need something that can take a 2.5 gig SFP+ connection. 10 gig will not work, and 1 gig obviously only gets me half the speed.

I've found a few Unifi compatible switches, but they're between $600 and $900 which is just insane for all we need.

Media converter wise everything I've found is 2.5gig on the rj45 side and 10 gig only on the SFP.

Something has to exist out there right? It can't only be Google who are the freaks using 2.5 gig SFP modules.

My T14 eGPU setup (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.world to c/thinkpad@lemmy.ml
 

Specs at the moment: Intel T14 gen 1 i5 10210u 16 GB ram Stock 256GB SSD GPU: Radeon RX 56 Enclosure: Razer Core X Chroma

I use this setup to play around with all sorts of GPUs. Anything with a PCIe interface and windows 10 drivers and I'll try to run it. I don't do any serious work on this machine for the most part.
