I bought a used gen1 Thinkpad X1 Nano. It is super light (<1kg), works flawless out of the box with Linux, and while I think it does have a fan I've never noticed it.

Based on the neofetch it's a Samsung Fold Z 4
In a lot of modern work flows this is incompatible with the development pattern.
For example, at my job we have to roll a test release through CI that we then have to deploy to a test kubernetes cluster. You can't even do that if the build is failing because of linting issues.
I never did Rails but I used Ruby for many personal projects in the 2000s.
When showing stuff to my coworkers or friends, I often joked how I tried to make my code look like it was already gzipped.
Depends heavily on the market segment. I also work in Europe and in my 15 years as a software developer (the first 6-7 as C/C++ developer) I've never seen anyone use Visual Studio.
I recently was in the market for a new dishwasher.
I compared the EU eco labels (which are based on water and energy use).
Buying the worst possible eco label currently on the market, and comparing it against the best two:
- A label dishwashers cost almost twice as much (up to €400 more)
- ombined energy and water costs saved over the lifetime of the device (which I optimistically set for 10 years at three cycles a week) is less than €100 euros
- If you're not into money, but more concerned about the planet, think about it this way: how much damage could €100 in energy and water spread over 10y really be causing our planet?
- These savings are only achieved if you use the most ecological program, which fails at it's primary job, which is cleaning dishes.
If I could find a decent 90s model for which parts were still widely available, I'd buy that instead. I truly doubt that burning through these poorly made newer devices are sufficiently more ecological than just using a old machine for a longer time.
I have one of these, but only use it for SteamVR. Does this mean I can't update either?
AFAIK, the drivers come from Windows.
Edit:
From the article:
Existing Windows Mixed Reality devices will continue to work with Steam through November 2026, if users remain on their current released version of Windows 11 (version 23H2) and do not upgrade to this year’s annual feature update for Windows 11 (version 24H2). This deprecation does not impact HoloLens.
Well fuck. This headset is the only reason I keep a Windows PC around at all.
Works for me in Belgium. Weird.
Man these are all things I'd love to see, don't feed me this kind of hopium BEFORE Barcelona.
To quote the author himself:
Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.
But then he proceeds to do the exact opposite and posts a vitriolic rant about how everyone who doesn't use what they use is, in their words, and idiot.
I used them as well, and I know of at least 3 more coworkers who use them as well.
I got started when I got one for free with a used computer I bought. I've since then switch full time to using an MX Ergo (like OP) on my desktop, and a cheaper M575 I keep in my laptop bag.
I even game with them, and haven't touched a computer mouse in probably 2 years.
The MX Ergo is far superior to any other I've used, highly recommended.
It's an NVIDIA specific term that is the abbreviation for GPU System Processor. It's a RISC-V core that does all sorts of management tasks on a modern Nvidia card, mostly related to task setup, resource allocation, context switching, adjusting clock speeds, etc.
