It’s RAM, they can ramp it up in 2-3 years tops.

They just don’t want to. When they did it last time demand plummeted and we got cheap RAM.

For my 64 GB 6000 CL30 I paid 200€ last year. They don’t want a repeat of that, especially with the Chinese now catching up.

Indie games are better anyway and don’t need much hardware power :)

Luckily Australia is their largest source and they upped the amount. They can also get more shipments from the US.

Ignore the downvotes, that account is 100% a bot. Every single reply looks generated, plenty even have em-dashes.

You misspelled being related to the previous CEO or a good friend of theirs.

Someone straight up getting promoted to CEO from below is a bit more rare. They usually have been a CEO somewhere else before that due to relations.

I’m very satisfied with my S25 so far. But I wanted a smaller phone, not a big fan of the tablet sized monsters people use.

Camera could be a bit better, but it’s decent enough. I’m using the stock ROM, unfortunately if you tinker certain banking and government apps no longer work :-/

The only other option would be an iPhone at that size, which I’m not a fan of.

Though there’s plenty of cheaper mid-range phones nowadays if you want to save some money. Like the OnePlus Nord.

Sorry, did I misread or did you edit your comment? I might have been half asleep :)

Like were you asking for phone recommendations? If so, what do you mainly use it for, will you use stock ROMs or do you like to mess around with things?

I’m from Austria, so plenty of options for high quality chocolate here. But they have gotten quite pricey lately.

Either way, I should lose weight (:

For me: Just for the modem and battery life :)

But now that my new phone works well, no reason at all. I don’t game on my phone, so any more performance is utterly wasted and the cameras barely seem to be getting upgrades either.

Baking is relatively easy, but how do you make your own chocolate? I don’t think you can properly do that at home.

Samsung is a no-go again anyway, as they have decided to go back to their shitty Exynos CPUs for the S26. The CPU itself is fine, but their modems are awful.

Going from my Exynos S22 to a Snapdragon S25 was night and day mobile reception wise.

Cute, in Austria it’s at 7€ now, Germany is higher. But we don’t drive gas guzzling tanks.

We already do, but that still doesn’t mean you’re safe.

Except when it’s your own data, then usually you’re fucked.

If you set the fan speed manually to 100% it will sustain almost 40, but then it’s screaming and burning hot.

How do you actually set the fan speed? ThinkPads seem quite resistant there, the one software I found for it wanted me to install a driver, which failed as it has security vulnerabilities :-/

I wish Dell would offer AMD CPUs, they are mostly an Intel shop.

Mine actually has a dGPU and at 20W it doesn’t thermal throttle, but it still runs way too slow. Today I tried unlocking the boost again so it goes up to 50W or so… but it barely makes a difference as the CPU hits 100°C in 0.5 seconds (:

I was even toying with the idea of repasting that crap, but it’s a work laptop, so nah. Annoyed the IT department about a replacement PC again. We switched to Dell, so the new XPS 14 looks kinda nice, but when you look at benchmarks and noise it also sucks. So desktop PC it is, I’m sick of it.

i7-1260P, I did try limiting the boost, but the CPU runs like ass anyway.

Yeah, the fan control was a mess too, like you clicked the mouse once and that stupid thing randomly ramped up, then immediately ramped down again. Any time you actually used the CPU it overheated anyway.

I’m actually switching to a desktop PC now at work, that’s how sick I got of this laptop (:

I’ll never buy a ThinkPad again after the T16 Gen 1 that I have at work. That thing was overheating from day one, absolutely terrible for a 3000€ business laptop.

Besides Lenovo’s shitty BIOS issues (which they have tried to fix about five times in the last 3 years), sometimes boot-up still takes a minute to get past the Lenovo logo.

I don’t even have a lemon or anything, several coworkers have also complained about the same issues. One got so angry he smacked the laptop a few times on his table out of frustration (no actual damage) and forced IT to give him a different more powerful model with better cooling.

Yeah, I stumbled over that when I wanted to charge my phone while I’m away in a meeting. Plugged it into the USB-C at my desk, suddenly the content of my phone opened up on my two office monitors, lol.
