Compact flash cards would be even better. They're easier to handle and have a lot more room for a label. It's too bad they are so much more expensive.

Missing those things would be a feature for me.

I'm much more worried about having a usable battery life and having basic phone functions like WiFi calling and MMS work.

Does anyone have a link to the original video? The one in the article is really low quality.

Barring any issues from coming up, the patch in turn will likely be submitted for the Linux 6.18 merge window later in the year.

The idle power consumption for a GPU tends to be pretty low these days. The only major issue is running multiple monitors with different vertical timings. That will lock the VRAM frequency to maximum and use a lot more power.

Hopefully they will release a decent screen for the 12. The screen on the 13 is 100% sRGB and the 16 is even better.

Fresh water doesn't mean drinkable water, it just means not salt water. The desalination plant produces drinkable water.

Your ISP has working battery backups. Don't expect it to stay on for longer, widespread outages though. When the power is out for a week, satellite is usually the only thing that will still work.

ISPs that still provide DSL, really don't want to put any effort into maintaining their equipment these days. They probably stopped replacing the batteries a long time ago.

You could use acpid to run a script when switching between AC and battery power. Here is a forum post where someone used it to start and stop a compositor.

You can get conductive paint for RFI shielding. It's very conductive, so make sure that the case can't come in contact with any circuit boards or it will short out. Make sure the paint is compatible with the type of plastic you print the case out of too.

They also make ESD safe filament, but it's $150+ a roll.

Are those mechanical hard drives? If so, I would want a fan moving air across them. Also keep in mind that most filament is not ESD safe.

Don't install their spyware apps in the first place.
