Code enforcement in cities and towns, especially more are more to blame for this than any other factor. Where I’m from the more affluent suburbs, barring in any kind of real individual expression or even signage.

Galaxy Xcover series.

Reported an issue with the name. I know I’m shouting into the void on this but a small poke in the eye makes me feel better.

To be fair, most/all kernels are written on a hardware abstraction layer, although lot of that kernel was built off of VMS… 😂

Didn’t NT 3.x or 4.x run on a RISC CPU back in the day?

Great post, thanks!

I read about it yesterday morning and my school district sent out an email The same evening. I believe had it not been published they would have stayed quiet.

I’m pretty sure IBM sold the branding to them since they were already doing the manufacturing. They still do the warranty/maintenance work, though based on the last two call outs I’ve had with their “techs” I might opt for depot repairs or taking it to the local Micro Center for warranty work.

Not disagreeing, just pointing out there is a third…

There are three, I think VIA still has a foot in the game. There were quite a few companies that clean roomed, licensed or extended the x86 platform back in the day. My first machine had a NEC V20 in it and I had 386 machines with AMD, Centaur, and VIA chips…

I tried to get to the printer settings today on a users machine and it kept redirecting me to the settings menu… 😠

I’ll take access point bombing for 1000 Alex. I see several in wall and wall-mounted varieties in the immediate future of that place… 😂

This is the way.

Yes, file size, drive types, the amount of RAM in the server, in the source and destination of the operation, can all have an effect on Performance. But generally if he’s moving within the same pool, it should be pretty quick.

It’s supposed to be tuned more toward heavy workflows, such as rendering and CAD. It has support for more RAM (6TB) and quad SMP along with ReFS, and SMB Direct.

I only found out about it because we needed a beastly set up for combining lidar and drone aerials in Autodesk.

True! T series or P series are much better made. I’d also advise heading over to Lenovo support site and checking the service manual for any machine you’re interested in, just to make sure that the features you may want to upgrade are upgradable.

I’ve noticed Lenovo doing a lot of SOC style systems ala Apple where your RAM is one and done. It’s mostly been on the thin/light segment but…

My biggest complaint has been the fact that they don’t put the USB C inputs on a daughter card. I don’t know what the cost savings is, but I literally had two machines that users had killed the USB on that spent close to 10 months waiting on parts for a warranty repair.

I wonder why they went with a version of Windows 11 Pro instead of Windows 11 Pro for workstations?

There are a ton of $29 license sites out there as well. Yes, it’s grey market, but it’s not like anyone has gotten support from MS anyway.
