I’m just being a little pedantic here, but miles are only a unit to measure distance not area.

Bittä und Dankä!

Yeah my car mechanic told me that some cars/manufacturers have exactly this design flaw where the end of the broken spring slides out and pierces the tire. He mentioned that also BMWs do this. I previously had a VW Golf and had broken springs like 4 times (used to drive a lot on unpaved country and forest roads for work) which luckily doesn’t do this. The rest of the spring stays in and sometimes we only noticed a spring was broken again during inspection. Sometimes I heard the broken part rattle while driving on uneven terrain. Don’t know where I would have ended if every broken spring had pierced a tire…

Just my experience as I started from a similar background. Some weeks ago I had the urge to try TWM myself for the first time. Long time DE user, mostly Ubuntu and switched to fedora some weeks prior. The way I did it was to install sway on top of my fedora installation (with gnome). This way I could and still can choose which session to start at login. And it gave me the opportunity to work out some things using gnome until I grasped what is going on and needed in sway. Over time I was able to build up my sway settings/apps that now I would feel relatively safe use it without a DE installed parallel. Next fresh install I will probably skip the DE and just use a TWM.

While I think that 5h of battery life with yt videos running is ok for a t490 you could still try to recalibrate the battery with tlp.

I have a t470s (has two internal batteries) where suddenly the performance of one of the batteries somehow got really bad. After calibration it works as good as before (upower says it’s at about 80%). I did the calibration in windows tho with Lenovo vantage as I’m still running a dual boot setup and didn’t know about tlp before.

Haha same here…

Respect for the dedication! And welcome on Lemmy!

How did he take the picture with both hands in the dryer? I have a theory… Is this what they call a ‘dickpic’?

I just installed Fedora. The install process is as simple and straightforward as for Ubuntu.

That’s why they get pizza crust…
