  • They can be dickish about several things, but they will implement whatever they want, it’s their project LOL! They actually develop a mobile operating system for people afraid of being hacked, and with the utmost security in mind.

    The thing with pattern unlock is that it is inherently less secure than the other options, despite the fact that you can use one of the other options in bad ways (like the ‘0000’ PIN). Expecting them to change this is using the lowest common denominator possible, which is against their philosophy.

    You do have other options if you want to deGoogle, like LineageOS, that supports a much wider range of devices (altough the extent of deGoogling can be limited). It’s good we have one ROM (among others) with paranoid devs - we have more options









  • It seems very legit, specially because it’s quite different from the standard rectangular bricks of different sizes from Thinkpads that I’ve seen, like this one:

    X1E charger

    It’s a 175W charger at 20V 8.5A, but I noticed the laptop has 3 charging modes, with a more powerful one at 230W with 11.5A. Maybe that could make a difference? But shouldn’t I be able to notice the lack of juice through some value in the system?

    Anyway, my older computer’s brick provides much less, at 135W with 20V 6.75A, and the computer shows better performance


  • The models with vapor chamber might be much better, but this one should be much better also.

    The CPU throtling will definitely impact gaming but I tested quick graphic intense scenarios with low CPU load. The temps never really got high when I measure either.

    I’m getting lower performance than a 4 gen older, same low-end-gaming card. I don’t need nor want a gaming powerhouse, but a 950M from 2015 getting easily 36 stable FPS in a specific scenario in Timberborn (not specially heavy) and this 3050 Ti mobile from 2021 sticking to around 27 (and lower lows!) is not normal, and this has been consistent across measurements

    I’ll definitely check on the thermal past, thanks for the tip
