Should I get a business laptop in the future after I build my desktop?
Took me this long, with Astaroth now 33 months old (and nowhere near retirement).

I don't believe in the viability of the "consumer laptop". In general, build quality is far, far too low.

At 4:03... 13h50m battery life (PCMark 10), 51 Wh battery.
I mean, how?
Real-world battery life will of course be lower, but that does point to massive improvements in idle power.
AMD used to fall flat on their face with this sort of test.

work is fun, work is great.
/me sighs
also yey huge BT outage
>
The current outage affecting users in the North / North East of England has been linked to a BT network fault that has taken down multiple backhaul circuits in the North. This is being investigated at the highest priority, as soon as we have any more information further updates will be sent.
bye bye burgi bye bye.

So it affected BT, TalkTalk and PlusNet. TalkTalk was apparently a separate cable break.

Just a quick question: why would a drive manufacturer advertise a 5400-rpm drive as "4200-rpm class"?
It says "4200 rpm" on the label, but when I listened to it spinning, it seemed to spin at 5400 RPM, then when I looked up its datasheet it said "4200-rpm class, actual speed 5400".

@gparyani You must have a good ear if you can count the difference between 4200 and 5400 RPM just by listening to the disk ...

So
Noob tip: "link: no" does not necessarily mean that the transceiver isn't working. It can also mean that you're dumb and forgot to do ip link set up.

@DavidPostill HDDs vibrate slightly at their spinning speed, so a 5400 RPM drive makes a 90 Hz vibration
I also have two other 5400 RPM drives in the setup I'm using, and the vibration was a match
