Perplx posted:all Razer laptops are centered and made out metal but also cost as much as a Mac i've heard a lot of horror stories about their customer support and the durability of their computers. they're clearly going for the apple design aesthetic, but seemingly don't have the chops to pull it off or the confidence to stand behind the products

i think this is mostly generally true now, but at least for games: it is worth no money or effort avoiding windows 11. it's dumb but w/e, it'd have to be principle to bother, and i think in 2024 we all have so many more important principles in line to put effort into.

my laptop is also not a gaming laptop, but built for heavy data crunching and has a great video card so it's great for gaming. it also just looks like i have a dell and not a gaudy gaming laptop.

trying to trouble shoot my partners laptop network issues it seems to work for a few seconds when I connect to a wifi network here at home. I can ping google but get like one ping and then it times out. when I switch to a different network here in the house I get the same thing, works for a moment the two networks - one is the asus router directly and one is an ubiquity AP connected to that router the network appears to work fine on my laptop and if I connect her laptop to her phone then that works too so it seems to specifically it’s her laptop with the wifi networks here it’s just weird that it works for a moment also if it matters ms defender is running hard. although my experience is that that is most of the time just a routine check happening at the total wrong time

I’ll double check that setting, didn’t think it was but tbh didn’t pay that much attention she just did get an email from IT that mentions something about connectivity issues.. but she’s not at work..? idk how corporate windows poo poo works but is it possible that network issues at her work could affect her at home? the issue isn’t just connecting to work stuff but anything at all (and if so why does it work if she hotspots?) very hosed up Sagebrush posted:Also w11 is completely fine it’s fine in the sense that you’ve come home from work tired, cold, hungry, and you’re under the impression there’s a roast chicken and potatoes and gravy etc but when you get home your partner says she couldn’t be bothered and would you be ok with toast ”fine”

echinopsis posted:I’ll double check that setting, didn’t think it was but tbh didn’t pay that much attention oh it's a work laptop. does it have a some kind of cellular network connection thing on it? like a slot for a SIM or an eSIM that it uses to connect when not at the office or something? the laptops we have at my work have software that connects to a hidden municipal network so using wifi isn't needed. if she has something like that it could also be causing conflicts. this is what we have: https://www.absolute.com/#nm-banner

Sagebrush posted:yes, there is, with one executable that you run from github. you're welcome "when you *have*", not "when you *want*" but, yeah, nah, windows 11 is basically not *fine*, but a package of small annoyances basically indistinguishable from 10 within a few moments. unforced errors, which is so deeply dumb, but at least small.
