Why I'll Never Buy an Asus Laptop Again
(ycombinator.com)
When I first bought my ASUS VivoBook K15 OLED, I was excited. It looked beautiful, felt solid, and the OLED display was stunning. On paper, it seemed like a great value for the price — a laptop that could handle my work, my creative projects, and casual use without breaking a sweat. I was optimistic. Maybe even a little proud of the purchase.

Framework 13 AMD Setup with FreeBSD
(euroquis.nl)
The FreeBSD Foundation exists to support the FreeBSD community and the FreeBSD project. Some of its projects are aimed at improving the experience of FreeBSD on specific hardware. There is an ongoing, and expanding, laptop experience project. To expand that project further, the foundation has provided Framework laptops to a bunch of developers working on the FreeBSD laptop and desktop experience. I’m one of those developers, and here are some initial notes on the process. The notes assume experience with FreeBSD.

Using a ThinkPad X61s in 2020
(wordpress.com)
As a ThinkPad fan I am always interested in getting to experience elder ThinkPads. Especially ThinkPads from the 4:3 display era. After having used a ThinkPad T60p which I reviewed here, I was for a long time interested in getting to experience a Thinkpad X61 or X61s. I really like the old keyboards and the 4:3 display format and the X6… series seemed to be very portable and attractive to me. I am very nostalgic about these machines.
