@hj good AMD laptops are virtually nonexistent right now, but it's not the iGPU's fault (mobile Ryzens do tend to eat slightly more power than i5/i7s though) - most OEMs have the 'one token AMD laptop', and it's usually bad.Of course discrete AMD GPUs are horrible power hogs.

@hj Meaning that's what you found? Is there any reason for HP || Acer? Or that's just the results you got?

@hj There are some 14" thinkpads and Dell business laptops, but the Thinkpads have bad battery life IIRC, not sure about the Dells

@hj IIRC from when I searched (ended up with 6-year old thinkpad x230...) those should be the traditional big/low-quality-construction/bad-battery/cheap-ish laptops? HP and Acer have a lot of those, most of them are very similar to each other.

@hj not sure about how to help with that, I did have the dell choice and gave up because 1000eur new dell with ryzen vs 300eur (better build) old thinkpad with crappy intel dual core.AMD should have something good in... 2 years. (mobile 3000 should be just a rebrand of 2000, still Zen 1, so probably wait one more year for Zen 2 - which should be good if their server CPUs are a good reference)

@hj (of course that is not viable if you travel all the time)

@hj I'm assuming you don't actually need GPU for work, disregard if doing OpenCL/Vulkan/etc.

@hj ok, then desktop is really not a good choice (unless you already have a desktop and can get GPU for ~20 eur so it's not much wasted money) (I do actually have a portable PC for possibility of moving, so that is possible, but it's 7kg w/o monitor)In that case I recommend even more to just get something cheap (minimum for work) and durable, and if you have a prospect of a job in another country, buy another one later there.Buying 2 used PCs over N years may be cheaper.

@hj Keep in mind that in a life-critical situation such as emigration, any PC can play a host of old games + handle more than a Retropie worth of emulators :p

@hj OK, I guess 'any recent-ish laptop' would be more precise.

@thegibson @thefishcrow #1: remove all the labels#2: remap keys at willI'd place Enter at one of the spacebars (great for thumb use, tried on Ergodox).

@thegibson @devrandom I despise and love powershell so much. F microsoft and .NOT, but I really want a shell on unix that is consistent, designed up front and without 30 years of piled up baggage.

@karen @waifu @lain There is nothing more strictly functional than C++ meta programming. It just wasn't quite intentional.

@aetios @karen @Ocean22 @waifu Xenoblade looked pretty good in dolphin at 1920x1080? (the Wii version)

@aetios @karen @Ocean22 @waifu Also, xenoblade had a high resolution texture mod (only for emulators), maybe some other games have such mods too

@waifu @aetios @karen @Ocean22 That's why I don't have the 3ds:p my gemini would emulate it just fine... if I could get 3D drivers working correctly

@hj fever? alternatively, look at thermometer separate from heater.

@hj blankets/clothes at/around windows/doors tend to work. Or lying down under a blanket with a 100%-taxed notebook (a few buggy Electron apps should do the job)

@thegibson Apophis will not be a problem in 10 years, even if it were on a collision trajectory.

@thegibson given current progress in space programs, even countries like India/Japan should be able to deflect/disperse it on a very short notice (it's just 300m)....by 2039 someone might end up mining it.
