Those 10mb full-height mfm drives were so slow... you could literally turn the computer on... go make yourself something to drink, finish your first cup, pour a second and you'd be getting the to DOS prompt right around the time it finished booting.
The irony, it was actually faster doublespaced/stacked.
If you don't have some level of arbitrary limit on line length, it becomes all that much easier to sneak in malicious code prefixed by a bunch of whitespace.
Linting and autoformats help here... just allowing any length of line in code is just asking to get pwned at some point.
I haven't used any of their power banks, but have used a LOT of chargers from Anker and UGreen over the years and most have run without any issues for years. Getting good cables for charging vs. data/video is a different story though.
Currently have a relatively high watt USB PD charger in my livingroom and handles everything I've thrown at it including laptops, phones, tablets, earbuds, etc.
Seems most of the issues in these threads are with the power bank (portable battery chargers).
I had a Dell laptop for work a while back where the MB died 3x in under 2 years... They replaced it all three times, and were a bit sus at the third one... but I literally left it in a locked drawer at work more often than I'd take it home.
The best experiences I've had with Dell hardware have been mid though... worse with HP, won'y buy their stuff at all any more.
I've had mixed to very good experiences with Lenovo... Even their cheaper IdeaPad options. My SO had an IdeaPad that lasted about 7 years, and she was pretty rough on it. Just replaced with another a few months ago. For what it's work, runs PopOS like a dream. On the down side are soldered ram, and shorter vnme drives that have apparently had higher failure rates, already have a replacement ready on a shelf.
My personal laptop is an M1 Air 16gb... it's been a pretty great little box, though with my vision what it is, has been very hard to actually use for much.
All I know is I had some miserable side effects that started after a couple years that just progressively got worse while on them... when I found out it was the Trulicity/Ozempic I stopped, and the effects coming off were nearly as miserable... took almost a year to recover coming off and still dealing with the fallout.
Curious how you tied the side effects to GLP-1 when they didn't appear for a year and took so long to go away after stopping? Is it possible it was unrelated?
It took about a year and three specialists... Mostly just tried to treat the symptoms.
I found it when I found out about the lawsuit against Trilicity and put 1 and 1 together.
I've still got some digestive problems almost 2 years since stopping.. but it's not as bad. The 24/7 sense of starvation stopped after about a year and gaining 80# over when I started them.
I put Trilicity and Ozempic together as I was on both at one point due to availability issues... Which disqualifies me from active participation from both class action suits.
I've had some of the worst interpretations of a lot of medications before but nothing like this... For the rest of my life, I'm unlikely to take any new prescriptions from here forward...
I'm mostly managing my diabetes with a meat based diet and minimal supplemental insulin. Many days I don't need any. But gluconeogenesis will build up after a few days, even if I haven't eaten.
The more I've looked into it, the more I feel T2D is here treated with Keto/Carnivore over pharma intervention. Doesn't make it easy and environmental issues happen... I cheat about one meal a week and often pay for it.
Simpler design... let alone constraints of the USB and/or other interfaces in use. Not to mention 1:1 of management port access to system access, where other solutions may be problematic.
The irony, it was actually faster doublespaced/stacked.
