I have had two Lenovo models as my last two laptops, including the one I’m on now which is a Yoga 9i. I have buyers remorse so much for both of these and stupidly got pulled in by low prices and a long list of features. They’re slow, unupgradable, both had issues where i needed to send them back for repair as they turned off randomly which was very frustrating with lots of lost work, and then lots of time without the laptop…

I think after thinkpads their overall quality has hit the pan

There’s 23 pages of people with these issues and very little support from Lenovo on this thread: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-S-Series-ThinkPad-Yoga-and-Twist-Laptops/Lenovo-Yoga-9i-keeps-freezing/m-p/5087025 And another 3 pages here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Yoga-Series-Notebooks/Laptop-randomly-turns-off/m-p/3840927?page=3

pretty different things and also IBM owns Red Hat

Was your project folder synced via nextcloud?? I had a similar issue arise with my projects folder being deleted and not in the trash bin etc, can only think nextcloud was the culprit as I had removed the folder from my server and default behaviour must be to replicate that removal locally.

i use boox and syncthing so all books, audiobooks, files, notes etc are across all my devices automatically :)

your reply is n=1, when op is clearly talking about mass adoption

completely agree, what would you do to reform it out of interest?

wouldn’t it be 3fa with biometrics also ? Thanks for your explanation btw

you’re really determined to stick to your belief haha, don’t worry about it man I don’t think I’m going to sway your mind on this so peace !

This is all measured and not really estimated. If you think that any substantial chunk of that 484Billion is being done ‘stupidly’ then you’re just making presumptuous incorrect guesses without knowing much about the industry.

Revenue (sales) - Investment (total costs) = ROI There is ROAS which similiar: Revenue - Ad Spend = ROAS You can measure things in more detail like CPA (cost per acquisition) to work out how much ad spend you have per sale, again this is a measurement not an estimation.

Where previously there was mass advertisements to millions of people like TV or radio ads which were only affordable to large companies. Advertisers now can target the exact type of person they’re trying to market to for their niche which is a lot cheaper and so more accessible to smaller businesses. To me that makes business sense to do if I can optimise to the right ROI, and nothing to do with FOMO or vague thinking.

2 second google for some numbers: “In 2022, global internet advertising revenue stood at 484 billion U.S. dollars”

One of the metrics you measure when running ads is return on investment, and companies will soon go bust if you aren’t making money on your ad spend.

what’s the benefits of being federated for code?
