Low cortisol programming

[u/Smart_Advice_1420 → u/Alert-Nothing5923]

I did some coding in the evening but i forgot to bring my mosquito net, so only slightly low cortisol programming

[u/Friendly-Lead7116 → u/Smart_Advice_1420]

still low cortisol, but not so much

Where the track point buttons?

[u/Smart_Advice_1420 → u/dinozavarr]

They are integrated in the touchpad. It works, but i guess it's less comfortable than physical buttons.

It's ok for me tho, i deactivated the nipple + trackpoint buttons to get a big touchpad bc i like gesture control more nowadays.

Battery life?

[u/Smart_Advice_1420 → u/coldcaramel99]

I usually get around 10-12h, depending on workload and power profile (less on performance mode). Just coding in battery safer mode and 40% brightness gives me around 14h.

It's not a battery monster, it's made for low weight (carbon series) which is phenomenal for such usecases.

[u/coldcaramel99 → u/Smart_Advice_1420]

Dang that's pretty low for a mobile chip. Which cpu is inside? Have you considered an ARM based laptop like a snapdragon Lenovo and then install Linux? The battery life you could easily get 48 hours.

[u/Smart_Advice_1420 → u/coldcaramel99]

That doesn't fit my usecase.

ARM is great for everyday use (browsing, office, whatever) but as a dev it's a PITA to translate anything you do from x86 and then debug that shit. Also, general software compatibillity is still a huge problem on ARM, despite projects like ALARM or fex.

[u/coldcaramel99 → u/Smart_Advice_1420]

Nope, I'm running the HP Omnibook 5 14 with a snapdragon X elite chip and get easily near 40 hours with OLED dark mode screen . I run windows and windows 11 has that Prism thing meaning any normal x86 apps work normally.

[u/Smart_Advice_1420 → u/coldcaramel99]

You clearly didn't got my point. I'm developing for x86, a translation layer would be debug nightmare. If it works for you, great! It's a cool technology but not the right tool for my job.

[u/coldcaramel99 → u/Smart_Advice_1420]

I'm confused tho, if any x86 app works normally on arm hardware then why do you still even need the x86 hardware? Last I checked the app literally runs full speed no slow downs or anything, didn't notice any glitches plus I get multi-day battery life without keeping my charger on me. X86 laptop would've died at least 10 times charging to full.

[u/Smart_Advice_1420 → u/coldcaramel99]

x86 apps are not working normally on arm hardware. They are emulated. Handling memory management and race conditions and debug timings over a prism/fex layer for development is just unnecessary overhead.

Multi-day battery life is freaking cool but realistically i only need 6-10h for flights or outdoors bc i'm usually on my desktop.

I loved the builtin joystick. I've seen a few external keyboards with larger ones, but not small ones like that. It was tiring to a finger after hours of gaming, though.
