  • I loved my Pulse 15 (Gen 1) from Tuxedo

    It was a performance monster and still had amazing battery life.
    But as others have said, they only take some finished Clevo models - like most small distributors, who can’t afford their own factory.

    But they verify that everything runs with Linux, else they sometimes patch stuff.

    And I need to highlight their support!
    After years with my Pulse 15 the battery became a pillow, because I used a USB C charger that wasn’t working right (always switched on and off, which killed the battery)
    Pretty much without questions asked I got a new battery for free.

    Now I have it to my nephew, who enjoys Minecraft on this laptop (still Linux), but the CMOS battery was dead.
    Got that one for free as well after warranty

    So, I can’t really complain about them.
    Actually the opposite.

    But I still settled for a Framework 16, because I wanted something different and the models at that time weren’t fitting my use case…

    Was more meant as a joke, because an hour seemed really much to me - although it probably shouldn’t

    But looking at your training plan, this looks much relaxed than I’d have expected

    Still, an hour is much commitment, respect









  • In general, I’m with you
    But sometimes I need to revert/comment out a code block, because another code part isn’t finished/working as it should.
    Sure, it clutters code, but if I just comment out a function call and temporarily replace it with the workaround, it should imho stay in code.

    Else the workaround will stay forever and the commented out code will act as a reminder, that this part isn’t clean yet.

    But maybe it really is a case by case thing, where sometimes it’s better to branch it out for later merge - although that can get really messy, while having the future implementation commented out, others will also see, how it is supposed to work and don’t try to further extend the workaround, which makes future merging hell

    Out of interest, how would your best practice look in such cases?


  • My ISA Fritz! ISDN card fucking killed me…
    I could, and did, live with the terminal for quite some while, surfing with Links, listening to music and even watching videos. Besides the obvious open IIRC chat in one terminal.
    But the Fritz Card was horrible to setup. I need to say, that it was ok, when it worked, but as far as I remember, I needed to compile the kernel with support for it and afterwards needed to configure some memory or bus addresses somewhere.

    As this was my only computer as a teenager, this was just a horrific experience. Cutting myself off from the information live line multiple times until I got it right.
    Also setting up dual boot the first time was a fun adventure…
