    As of right now, there’s not much available for the X Elite processors.

    I did actually buy the Yoga laptop with the X Elite from Lenovo about a month ago. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a better experience with Windows. I can leave the thing in standby mode for days and see maybe 4 or 5 percent battery drain. If I’m using ARM native apps, I can use it for 8 hours without charging easily and get through a work day with about 20 to 30 percent battery to spare. With x86 apps, it does use a bit more power, but battery life is still pretty good. I’d estimate 8-9 hours before totally dead.

    Hopefully development picks up more on the Linux side because I can’t wait to see how much better the battery life would be.







  • Absolutely, it should be. I was being very sarcastic in my other post and basically said Squid didn’t outright say he wasn’t being paid, so that MUST mean he’s being paid and it was removed with a message saying I shouldn’t call a mod a shill.

    Which honestly makes me think that I struck a nerve now.

    I used to hate the hail corporate subreddit back in the day because literally anything with a logo was considered an ad by them, however nobody can deny that that kind of deceptive advertising totally happens.






  • Living in the Midwest, I’ve never really dealt with a major power outage we didn’t expect. Power company will send out a (very rare) notice if they are doing anything that might bring down power and usually if a thunderstorm starts to get rough, we shut down anything important so power flicker/surges don’t hurt it.






  • Mainstream NASs (like Synology and QNAP) are very good at what they’re built for, which is be available on the network and have plenty of storage.

    They CAN do more, but then you start to notice the limitations. It is still “just a NAS.” It’s not called a NASAHVAVMM (Network Attached Storage and Hypervisor and VM Manager)

    If you want to do what you described, a smaller NAS would probably be good for backups, but look into a fully fledged, capable server too.
