Oh god I hope to see a 1kg laptop with zen4 CPU and RDNA3 graphics 32GB or 64GB DDR5 memory and 2 nvme pci4 slots. Oled 120hz 16:10 screen 14". Take my 2940euros! Not you Lenovo, but ASUS!!

Exactly @ specs, but which are as durable/reliable as a ThinkPad? Or as repairable? Or have a decent keyboard as well?

uh, yeah, that's been done. It's known as "Evidence Based Taiji" out of the Oregon Research Institute. FWIW

Fully how no one who identifies as an "evidence based Taiji" person shows up to train under anyone with real skill, nor do they have any skill themselves... Or else you'd see them with evidence in their videos. They're just denialists in denial under a fancy name.

Don't let me get started. I took their program, "Tai Ji Quan: Movement for Better Balance" in July 2014... a whole 16 hours... after which, I was given to understand, the DOA... (uh, Department Of Aging) would subsidize my tqj classes at senior centers locally. Parting shot from the govt rep, something like, "Don't fret, you may not know a lot, but you know about The Ball."

Right, so you have first hand experience with liars corrupting the internal arts with veracity and confidence.

Love your post but sjws are jerks

I think you're not understanding my post :)

No I just really don't like sjws

There is nothing positive about SJWs in my post; I think you're not reading it right.

Why is no cross posting allowed even if relevant to Taijiquan?

Tai chi is cool but only for dancing or exercise, if you put a tai chi master against a student in mma, the tai chi master would get punished hard by the mma student everytime 🤷‍♂️. There’s plenty of videos of what I just said online ☝️

According to

This is why very few people practice tai chi now. Such a welcoming attitude.

"Change Taiji or else we won't feel welcome" is way beyond the pale.

A FOSS processor that works and runs on an FPGA? They already exist. A FOSS processor that comes anywhere close to the performance of modern x86 CPUs? The ~2 billion dollars of RND required makes that virtually impossible.

Way less because it would cost way less than 2B to leak the details and code for the PSP for several generations.

No because the ways I do are proven by science. Levers, angles, potential and kinetic energy. Not only is chi not been proven to be real, every Claim when tested by science has been false

Months later and still not a single thing from your conspiracy theory checks out - not to mention you've dodged my first question and your major claim throughout the entire thread.

Again I ask the same, who’s ever done this against resistance? Not just party tricks anyone can do, or just acting like when that ugly hag “throws” someone. Is the only way to experience the aforementioned 8000 dollar camp? Does that seem sus?

So the same old hater comments from someone who has never experienced. The only piece of evidence you stated so far was an interview of Shaw (where he supposedly said something about this film) that you still haven't found / cited.

Sizeable review of this camp during this interview:

I’m sorry but if you tried to do any of these moves in the street you would get fucked so hard 😂. I’ve only been doing mma for a short while but against this phoney master of tai chi I know for a fact I could whoop him 🙋‍♂️😴. Don’t be fooled because you could get really hurt trying to do Kung fu hustle moves in real life 🤦‍♂️.

Reddit is owned by the west and will censor anything against its agenda

Easily 20 people watching in the room and not one person seems to be laughing.

And many thousands more have the same experience and never a story to the contrary, despite the fact NDAs were never used for these events. And now you must create a story about how the top BJJ fighters, pro bballers/fballers, and world's strongest man also had similar reactions:

They're demonstrated emirically hundreds of times every workshop or class. But the haters and denialists never show up. Actually they do, but they change their story and are therefore no longer deniers.

Interesting how all of the Systema teachers don't stand up for their sifu - especially considering he's on video destroying the top ones skill wise. Also interesting that Systema teachers make videos "debunking qi," which their own art is based on according to its founder (as you can read in his books if you don't know Russian). So they're telling us they don't believe in their own art, and that's the same systema teachers who have never touched Mikhail Ryabko. There's a 100% correlation between the haters and disbelievers and those who have never touched someone with real cultivation.

I really like Pluggable as a company, but I don't like this adapter.

I wonder based on your post here:

Whatever you do, don't get a Gen 4 drive. You want the coolest & most power efficient drive to minimize heat load. Seems like the P31 would be ideal.

And what Bedrock achieves. Or what A1+++ zfsbootmenu with snapshots and clones even better. Or what ventoy can do, if people have to go make their own squashfs images anyway Is Darch new? Because never seen it. Looks like a lot of effort, I could be wrong easily.

I can't parse this in English... Would answer if I could.

Man, I don't know why every 5 years we pick a disability to stigmatize . What have schizophrenics done to you?

schizo has been stagmatized for a long time because we're supposed to think they're 100% insane and can't see some things the rest of us cannot.

Especially with AMD's Phoenix Point coming next year: Zen 4 + TSMC N5 + RDNA 3 will make for quite the ThinkPad.

Totally. And Lenovo should let us have ECC since all of the Ryzens they're using already support it! Also would be nice for the T-series to have dual M.2 slots, considering the E-series has them! Always some annoying compromise :|

Sucks because the T14s has the best aspects in most ways, but the x13, t14, and t14s all just have 1 NVME slot - so the only way to get 2 NVMEs properly is with the L14 and E14, which have a lot of downsides... 0_0I guess it is back to waiting unless anyone knows better?

I just got my T14. I ordered it with the 128GB SSD option, with plans to upgrade it myself. The SSD it shipped with is a WD SN520 2242 drive. I opened the case only to take a look, as my ram and replacement SSD have not arrived yet, and decided to try swapping the SSD from the 2280 x4 slot to the 2242 x2 WWAN slot.

Any news on how fast one can how to achieve using the WWAN slots in the latest T14 models?

Anyone mind posting their main NVMEs performance vs the WWAN slot's NVME performance? I'm curious how worse it is - or how good NVME performance can be in the WWAN slot.

I ordered the Z13 with an OLED and the screen looks great. I don't see any PWM issues. Unfortunately that laptop had stability issues and the trackpad kinda sucks so I'm keen to get the T14s Gen 3 with an OLED option once it's available in the US.

You tried with the brightness all of the way down? I don't know why laptop OLEDs would have PWM issues when every phone I've owned for years has been OLED and I've never seen PWM issues despite using it at the lowest brightness setting available about half the time.

well, as far as I know it only supports UDIMM, not registered modules. A real bummer.

I don't think it is that big of a deal to have ECC with unregistered modules - is it?

RDIMM modules can be way larger than (U)DIMM memory. There are 256GB DDR4 RDIMM modules on the market, while the largest DDR4 (U)DIMM memory is 64GB. So if you need massive amount of memory for your workflow then RDIMM is the only way.

Ya but we're talking laptops, so they're fine. Such a big missed opportunity that Lenovo won't support ECC on the motherboard when the AMD CPUs already support it.

I get where you're coming from. I don't like Windows as an OS but unfortunately I can't get some games working reliably through Wine/Proton, so I'm stuck using it. If I use then telemetry on what I do in the OS is going to be sent one way or the other, so minimizing usage is the best thing I can do. The thing about "portability" of Windows installs between machines has to do ultimately with Microsoft's lisencing model for the OS. So, minimize your usage of it. Not even the VM, if you activate all performance options in QEMU, is really portable between machines.

Downside of passing through NVMEs is you have to deal with backup/redundancy/snapshotting/bit-rotting in the VM as well as the host. If I can get 95% the storage performance without passing through, then all of that is greatly simplified. Tho I'm not exactly sure I can get 95% using ZFS on the host, but I will try :)

That should not be a concern in a gaming VM. The OS install is mostly automated, and the only thing that's running on a VM is games through Steam, and the save games are stored in a cloud. That means worst case scenario my VM is down for something under 2 hours.

Ya if there was another fast NVMe slot to use for "just a gaming VM" - then I follow. But I use the windows VM for pro audio/video mostly, not games as much. And so I already have both NVME slots on the motherboard taken and a dedicated one for just games wouldn't make sense. But I understand what you mean.

First of all, Lenovo's main focus are corporate customers, which are buying devices in bulks. They can fight for even $1.00 off the price, as they are buying devices in thousands or ten of thousands and each $1.00 off can result in a big savings. Now, when you add ECC support, which most likely increase the price, advertisements and efforts in convincing customers that it is better and increased cost of the ECC modules itself, then there are slim chances, that someone will buy it. Bulk buyers like performance increase and price decrease in each new generation. They would rather cut some features (e.g. less RAM or smaller SSD), than pay few bucks more for a new device. ECC memory is useful for e.g. simulations, calculations and systems, which operate 24/7. Other office users will most likely see no difference.

Linus and many others disgree with you

I told you how live and business are working. This will not change no matter how much you will disagree or how loud you will stomp with your boots. Big companies don't care about complaining miniority - especially when they are complaining about products, which were not designed for them. Your voice means nothing unless you'll buy tens/hundreds of thousands devices per year. But, even then they may completly ignore your opinion.

Your comment is about a world view and has nothing to do with my post besides trying to drag it down. I'm not going going down there with you

So it isn't a hardware limitation and their website specs section is basically wrong:
