Not sure if Framework has a similar setting but we have seen this with Ryzen thinkpads specifically with Win 11.

Our fix was to turn off the CPU Power Management switch in the Bios.

Completely agree. Google modern standby or hybrid sleep. Its terrible.

I just full hibernate or shutdown when going into a bag. This is as true for my work thinkpad, as it is for my personal razer as it is for our more family/general use framework 13 that is de facto my wifes computer.

Thats not always true. Just today my team was investigating why windows updates didnt install on server 2016 despite deadlines and specific updates GPO's set.

We did have some tweaks as an outcome. But overall these policies have been in place for years. And since 2012R2 and later there have been multiple instances where windows updates policies wont apply in lieu of say... "maintenance windows" features being added to windows, so it ignores policies centered around deadlines etc.

I would say part of it too is nature (vs nurture). Those same cousins never developed that propensity into adulthood at all. And its likely that was due to how well they were parented overall.

Myself had a bit of a different household and those things I had to learn on my own. The lack of restrictions made me grow up a bit sooner. Neither really right or wrong. But some people dont have the best self control (even in adulthood). Ive brought that up with the WFH conversations here. Theres bias here because i would wager many are high performers and have great self control, but working with people I have noticed many adult colleagues arent that well self disciplined and putting them in the office setting does help.

Im not sure if we abided by the age of 2. But I will say we have moderated screen time, computer time and TV time (if they should be separated) and do moderate them. To the point that many of my 1st graders peers have much more experience with things like games than he does.

This can be a double sided sword. My kid now, when he DOES get screentime will become fully engrossed it in. Especially games, and will borderline be obsessive. Which is counter to what he wants, because then we moderate it more.

I had cousins that were similar. Were so limited on things like TV, they would just get engrossed. They had TV days and no TV days and TV days were limited to a couple hours. On the whole it seemed good but they would rush to get up at 6am to watch TV and would be basically zombies. While I had relatively unfettered access (I had a TV in my room by age 10 or 11), I was able to learn to self-moderate and not be obsessive.

And thats where I will need to land with my kid. Find a way to allow him some time and to learn to self moderate. I will say Nintendo does this well. You can set a limit on the console and let them somewhat manage it themselves. (they still have to ask us to pick it up currently, but maybe we change that).

Hardware generally is great. Biggest complaint is them swapping the fn and ctrl keys, but you can change that in bios.

Most common failure points have been

1. Usb-c going bad on e an l series.

2. Chassis intrusion going off on t x or p series. Which will halt boot and require the user to ack

Right. But im supporting these in a business environment with users that arent techy. Windows is basically needed. Privacy isnt even on the radar. And secuirty is handled via companies like crowdstrike.

THey did VERY similar with HDD's.

We were well into years of SSD's in laptops in the 2.5" sata format and Macbooks of the time (ie: 2012 models and even some after) were still chucking 5400 rpm spinning rust in there AND charging SSD prices for it.

It was bananas then, and they are just doing the same with a different component now.

I manage a fleet of Thinkpads at work, all AMD for the most part.

W11 and AMD has been fun. We had to disaple CPU Power Management in Bios and disable fast reboot as systems would struggle to come out of sleep.

Multiple models had hardware issues, especially E series (which are desktop replacements for us). Many of the T series will have chassis intrusion just trigger constantly and require depot work to fix.

None of these are insurmountable but they cant be ignored. Still doesnt have me going to back to Dell's build quality and Intels heat issues. Most AMD laptops can run on power saver for 98% of our workloads and be fine.

Im not so opposed to W11.

From a privacy standpoint, W10 has seen most of the crap backported already so its a bit of a wash.

Windows 11 is a bit different and does have some wonk still. But there are things integrated that are nice. I moved to an ultrawide recently and the W11 native options for things like window sizing or taskbar management are much better and don't need 3p apps like you do on w10 with the likes of PowerToys or Taskbarx.

I still use Linux day to day and may even move there for work to be honest now that I don't do a lot of IC work in windows now.

>This is framed like a way to get free labor, and is a PR miss on the company.

Not only that but it seems they are relying on free advertising tool under the guise of giving someone a shirt or hat.

I too, have a frame work. Heck i was thinking about them in a consideration of our laptop fleet. BUT, im not a fan of branding shirts like that. I tend to wear them in the yard or around the house. Similarly I dont donate to calyx because they give me stickers or shirts, in fact I ususally try to decline those things.

Generally long emails are hard to process. And most are multi-tasking when an email comes in. Even now I will often type a bunch of stuff and if the reply is longer than a paragraph, or needs multiple replies/input i will just ask for a 10 minute call.

And even today when this was done, We addressed the context of the email and I helped with 3 other things that werent on topic in 10 minutes. So it was a better use of time (and I do acknowledge plenty of meetings are totally useless, even ones I have called...)

We are definately on the opposite ends of the spectrum then... but I will say, as a fan of their work, i completely, 100% understand why you may feel that way.

Ill just say i dont appreciate them for their lead singer in the slightest. In fact i like them in spite of that fact.

>He's literally the most famous producer in the world. Nobody engaged him for cost-cutting purposes. :)

100% agree today. But back in 1991 he was still an up and comer of sorts, at least much less established than he is now. He is definately one that made bank and benefitted off the consolidation of radio (and was smart enough to pivot that into more modern forms of production and distribution). And i feel that is point that was being made by Beato. The clear channel consolidation and Telecommunications act paved the way for producers like this to make a killing. If they had an ear for what the masses would like, they had a platform to blow up (and rick did exactly that).

By most standards im fairly security conscious. IE: No listening devices/alexa/google home in the house. For the most part no cameras or mic's inside (obviously cant get past the phone thing). Generally i prefer to self host stuff (ie: my security cams are local only and have no interenet access.)

That said I DID setup a public shared album to share to a Dakboard....Its also one i share with family.

The URL is so long, from a privacy standpoint its less a concern. The facial details are already on the internet due to family sharing stuff on facebook etc. None of the photos are particularly revelealing and nothing i wouldnt care if they were on a billboard...So meh. I doubt i could be targeted to find it and anyone stumbling across it wont see anything they wouldnt see if they drove by my house and saw my kids playing in the front yard. We also dont religiously post to it, so its not like anyone is going to glean we are out of town because of something we put there.

TL:DR - meh, not much a concern on my end, despite other concerns that may border on tinfoil.
