Lenovo's website is the least of their problems. I'm in the USA and ordered a Thinkpad. They ship out of China. No one in their call centers can give any kind of order status. Their information is days behind. I canceled an order after they cut the price to try to get me to change my mind and the thing still shipped. It seems like their Thinkpad factory just pumps them out; no kind of true build to order. The only good way to get their machines is through a reputable reseller who has them on a shelf.
Be able to configure a US keyboard when you're not in the US. My last ThinkPad was bought in the US by a friend who came from there and sold it on to me. But if I wanted to buy a new laptop with a US keyboard from Lenovo or Dell today, their web sites don't provide the option. Apple do. I'm sure it might be possible to order one over the phone, but why should I have to? TazeTSchnitzel on Jan 10, root parent next [—]. I wonder if it reflects how they manufacture them. Do they print the keycap labels on demand?
I think the problem here is that Apple doesn't really have to have a huge product range because they are pretty much focused on the premium price range. On the other hand, manufacturers like Asus, Lenovo and Dell have everything from the economy to premium range which makes the content organization a natural headache.
And it looks like nobody has figured out a good way to fix everything up. But Dell has a pretty nice web site despite having a huge range of products. Yes and no. UI looks wise it is ok, but UX wise it is a nightmare. When I try to find a product I often can't find it. Or I can only find it if I pretend to be in the US. Or mostly it is out of stock. And all this time direct links works so the products exists, I just cant find them consistently. He bought his first macbook pro in the end instead a one just after the touchbar launched.
Yes their SKU stock is massive compared to Apple, so navigation will be trickier, but why do they need to make it so hard by hiding products etc.
I believe that is solely the reason some listing websites came up just to search for products. Plus in most cases, you really aren't suited for the whole range.
I have been using Asus Zenbook for the last 3 laptops; I just go straight to Amazon or Ebay to buy them, the experience there is quite better besides I want a US keyboard instead of Spanish. The other manufacturers also haven't figured out how to organize their models. It's not even a matrix -- with models varying by CPU and RAM and disk and such, you'd expect that at least they'd arrange them visually in some kind of table.
It must be a nightmare for non-technical people. They're all like this, and it becomes hilariously complicated when the manufacturer has, like Lenovo, dozens and dozens of models, and it's impossible to understand what the difference is between them and which ones are targeting which uses. You have to ask why they're so unfocused, too. Is it an intentional tactic? Asus seems to be one of the few to understand this aside from Apple ; their Zenbook site is pretty friendly and focused.
Though they still insist on nonsense model names like "UXUA". It's not just PCs, of course. It's all consumer electronics: TVs, sound systems, what have you. I've never been a product manager but IMO it probably goes something like this: "The framistan line is successful but I hear from our customers that we should have some options that add [x] and drop [y], while having support for more [z].
The competition has entered this space and there is clearly a market there. Apple, OTOH, does whatever they want, targeting limited segments in order to keep everything simple. They lose out on lots of opportunity by restricting themselves to just parts of the market. But they also have a money tree, so it doesn't really matter.
Re: nonsense model names. As a technical consumer I much prefer these very-distinct names that change with each new release. When I read a review, it's very likely that I'm reading the right review. When I'm buying used, it's very likely that I'm getting the right product. I can appreciate the elegance of a simple product name, though.
Typically they're concealing the true model info under some other header, but it's usually harder to identify. You're probably right. But it doesn't explain why Apple is so good at this and so few other companies aren't.
They must realize the confusion they're creating among consumers. Nice brand names like MacBook doesn't preclude having precise model IDs, though.
The MacBook range mostly has unique model names and Apple publishes a full list [1] , for example. As a counter-argument, an example from TVs: The same TV models are sold all over the world with different identifiers. They'll do things like tack on an "E" for European models.
But it makes it really hard to find reviews, because the same Samsung model sold in the US as UN40J might be UN40JE in Europe, and you don't necessarily know how to translate between the two identifiers though they often have a system about what the letters and digits mean so you can decode them, kind of.
You might find a review for Samsung UN40J and hope that it's close enough. While Lenovo, Dell and Co. Or don't and just opt for the default base model. This process covers 27 different product variants in a step by step checkout workflow that is easy to grasp and understand by the customer. That's because Apple is not afraid to shut down a product that still makes money, and offer less choice to customers.
Typically when they released the iPod nano, they decided to stop the iPod mini even though some customer would have still chosen it. Apple's ability to have discipline and know when to say no, sticking to the specific markets they know they can make large margins in is what created and feeds the money tree. Why make 40 lines in every variation at razor thin profits, when you can make one line at huge margins? Not sticking to that model is what's getting apple in trouble, even if every tech comment whines about how apple has done everything wrong since forever.
Apple is in a somewhat strange position. Obviously not true in all cases i. I love Apple to death but had to resort to a very custom desktop for some ML work.
But its right often enough to make additional models a losing proposition for Apple: they'd just be competing with themselves. MR4D on Jan 10, root parent prev next [—]. You're probably spot on.
Their job is to take this noise because that's what this is and distill it down to something structured and logical. No wonder Apple makes so much money. It's all consumer electronics I recently bought an induction hob, and it's exactly the same. Bosch for example have a series 4, 6 and 8 and within that, models with various configurations. At first I assumed series 8 was the best or newest, but there are low and high end models in all of the series. I looked through the manufacturers specs, and even in terms of features I couldn't see anything different between the series, only between induvidual models.
Maybe the series refers to what day the 'design team' came up with it? I tried to look at some reviews online to see what people said was the best - I live in Northern Europe and haven't yet picked up the language so looked at reviews on UK and German sites.
Except the models available there aren't available here, and vice versa. At the end of the day they are all pretty much the same they all cook stuff , so I just went to the shop and picked one that wasn't too cheap or too expensive and looked the prettiest Wife Approved TM. This is so frustrating! Even worse when you're trying to dig through a maze of URL's to find drivers, half the link will go to the US site which will then get redirected to the regional one where the file doesn't exist.
Had to do it once for a network drive with "export restrictions" it took hours to find their awful, half working driver. IME Dell are one of the better ones. This is a really good point. I'm a lenovo guy and I've bought from their official site a couple times.
It takes forever to render and the customizer is clunky. Just give me a basic webpage with checkboxes and a price that gets auto updated. Completely agree. Many pains in the ass from ordering my 4th generation X1 Carbon off Lenovo's site, even while tracking the absurdly lengthy shipment. My past Mac purchases were pleasures, by comparison. Yeah try ordering anything from Lenovo on your iPad I mean, how much effort can it take to clean it up? Ubuntu It's been ready for over ten years.
I switched in the early '00s. Many switched, and I must have saved myself months of fixing Windows machines. After half an hour cursing while I found and fixed the problem, I realised I couldn't remember the last time computer problems had impacted my productivity - it has certainly been several years.
I obviously have no idea how Windows runs now, but my recollection is that it wasted several hours a month. I would argue that your asterisk means Linux is nowhere near ready for wide use on the desktop. Non-technical users can wreak all sorts of havoc with an OS setup, and it needs to be somewhat hardened to that my personal favorite story is having to fix a friend's Windows install that somehow associated.
Whitestrake on Jan 11, root parent next [—]. Agreed, I think it's less about being able to get it right, and more about being unable to get it wrong because users can and will get it wrong in every way possible. Linux is able to get it right in almost every way imaginable, but I can't think of any distro that's as resilient to the user as Windows.
Almost all the bloat, crap, and bad decisions seem aimed ostensibly at making it difficult or impossible for the user to ruin their system, and obviously they still are far from impervious. Seen that happening many times. I agree. Photoshop , Windows OS is even frustrating for them - just because it ends up installing tons of malware through clicking pop-ups while they are web surfing.
They have no idea how to get rid of those toolbars and they don't know they can try google for help. Linux is a safe neighbourhood, a peace of mind and ready at least for these users - and I guess there are millions of them. Yeah; switched my 50 year old mom to Linux three years ago.
People still acting like every distro is Gentoo. To be fair to Gentoo which has it's share of problems[0] for sure Also, it supports more platforms and features. For Linux all around, the bar has steadily raised. The complexity of a modern system is staggering, Gentoo is the only platform I know that goes the extra mile to allow you to modify everything without sinking in a swamp of maintenance. Yes, there's a convenience cost - but there's a long term cost to not bothering that other platforms extract from you over time.
Its rolling release nature can make it feel overwhelming if you don't surf the bleeding edge. Switched my 68 yeard old mom to Linux five year ago.
No complaints since that, except for video so I upgraded CPU and printer cable or port is damaged, switched error handling to «cancel» instead of «pause». I feel old now. Running Linux since , everyone in my family uses it. I saw Linux for first time in SuSE 5 , running it since , so yes, you are old, thus I'm still young. I haven't missed any piece of software much, but I would like to express my hate towards Adobe and Autodesk, who don't care about Linux at all. What keeps many people on Windows are games.
Valve, through Steam, has made monetization of Linux games more viable. So now there are many titles available on Linux compared to years ago. There's still a gap, but I hope that Vulkan gets traction and becomes the de-facto standard rather than DirectX.
DirectX was pushed through a lot of FUD controversy during the evil years of Microsoft they claimed that in future Windows versions OpenGL was going to be put behind a compatibility layer with a performance hit, and developers freaked out and moved to DirectX. Then it didn't happen. As much as I hate to say it, opengl still has issues in comparison to DirectX.
Just getting an opengl context is comparatively quite difficult and that still doesn't give you input or audio. Yes, but the performance of OpenGL drivers for complex scenes has improved drastically in the past few years.
Also, perhaps through growing consumer exposure to mobile, it feels like the graphical and input complexity! JetSpiegel on Jan 10, root parent prev next [—]. SDL does, though. Btw, I also started with Ubuntu but I'm finding Arch a much better and up to date distro. Arch is definitely the way most Linux users go once they get in a comfort zone with their existing distro Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, etc Antergos makes it easier than ever to jump into Arch, too.
The two biggest issues I've ever had with linux are printer support and modem support. Time solved both issues before developers did, no one uses dial up and I no longer print anything at home. Even printers and scanners are fine as long as you pick the hardware based on Linux driver availability.
No vendor-specific software needed; just open up Simple Scan and… scan. What is it that you like about Arch? Maybe I should give it a shot, although with Ubuntu you know you'll have both the solutions and the software available somewhere.
Almost everything is most up to date, in ubuntu you get versions that can be years old. And no, that doesn't really mean it breaks things. I have antergos for a couple of months now. And ubuntu comes a bit bloated out of the box. I'm also impressed from the support in the packages. For example, you need a new fancy editor? Atom, VS Code?
Maybe need the latest of node. It has them. It's much more complete than I thought. No need to look for. And last, I won't have to change anything in months when a new version comes out. There are no scheduled releases from what I understand. You can always be up to date.
Personally, I don't see any single reason to install ubuntu again. Hmm, that's interesting, thanks. I currently have provisioning scripts for Ubuntu that will set up any machine just the way I want it from scratch with one command, so moving all that state is not trivial, but Arch sounds very interesting. I'll give it a try, thank you! No problem. Yeah, setting up the environment is a hassle.
Happy to help if I can. Thank you for your offer! I'm sure it'll be straightforward, it's just work that has to be done :. Accacin on Jan 10, root parent prev next [—]. I don't want to sound rude, but Arch and Antergos aren't exactly the same. I think if you intall Arch you'll set yourself up with a much better understanding of your system for when something goes wrong. JetSetWilly on Jan 10, root parent next [—].
They are essentially the same, it is the same repos. In fact once you have installed antergos you can remove the antergos repo and you essentially have an arch system. Many arch users often say "you must go through our annoying installation process to understand linux better! Antergos is great. From what I've read, it's a "light installer on top of it". For now it works pretty well for what I need.
And coming from OSX and ubuntu it's a good step I guess. I'll try just arch on a VM to see what the differences are. For personal use its the most up to date and because its rolling release i never have to actually upgrade or wait for releases.
Also newer kernels for newer hardware. Doesn't that break things too often? I always run across at least one breaking change on each new Ubuntu version, and I'd imagine this happens much more often with a rollling release OS, is that not the case? Also, how is packaging?
With Ubuntu, someone always has a PPA for everything. However, in the one year I have been using Arch as my main distro, I had only two small breakages. The first was a recent upgrade of openvpn, which required you to move some folder from one place to the other. I had been using the infinality-font-bundle, which provides a patched fonts set that is beautifully rendered. However it seems that the developer hadn't been keeping up with the new versions of fontconfig and the had been some new options added, and after an update gdk-bixbuf2 needed one of them to function.
So not something very dramatic. Packaging: The package manager is pacman and the standard repos already have a lot of software. And then there is the AUR, where everybody can upload build-scripts for stuff that is not in the official repositories.
Most of the time they work great, there hasn't been any software at all that I had to download from a browser. Not based on arch, but in places where I've worked that have adopted continuous deployment models, there are a lot less breaking changes and those breaks are usually smaller and more manageable. What I'd like is a stable base system with cutting edge apps, but I don't know if any distro offers this.
Keats on Jan 10, root parent prev next [—]. Accacin on Jan 10, root parent next [—]. I'm away and not on my main machine at the moment, but I've heard of problems for people who have installed Infinality fonts in the last few days..
So I'm looking forward to fixing tht when I get home. As long as that keeps working infinitely more often than an Ubunto upgrade I'll keep doing it. Nobody was more surprised than me, but rolling distros or at least Arch are fantastic. I switched in the early to mid 00's and it was ready then, nothing fundamental has really changed. Currently I'm switching to it again because the game situation has improved.
Opinion follows: I don't think so. My three day old vanilla Ubuntu desktop install completely froze up on me the other day. I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary - browsing Reddit with Firefox. It was a mostly default Ubuntu install nvidia and broadcom drivers and otherwise completely up to date. I was frustrated enough I haven't bothered to troubleshoot it yet, but my best guess is somehow I ran it out of the 16 gigs of memory in my desktop, and the default install either didn't create a sufficient swap file, or it was not very proactive in swapping.
If I can freeze a basic install by browsing Reddit with the default web browser, there's something fundamentally broken. I would agree if you could show causation, but this is only correlation. I could tell you how many hundreds, maybe thousands of hours I do exactly what you've described with NO freezing, but so could a lot of others.
I'm sure others yet can tell you of freezing. None of this is perfect. But one anecdata does not a readiness state nor lack of it make. Is it a brand new machine? My PC, which runs Windows, does the same thing. I've determined that it's actually an issue with the power supply.
It has nothing to do with the operating system. I love Raspberry Pis and I probably own at least 10 of them. Instead, the project officially supports So why install it on Ubuntu I install systems with the intention to not make significant changes to them for some time and the end of life for Changelog 24July — Originally posted 1Sept — Added steps to fix Additional steps for Added section on removing hosts-file. Advertising is great because it pays content creators for their work.
After all, even this site utilizes Google Ads. So why would I create a write-up on blocking ads? As a result, blocking advertising has become an absolute necessity for those who are security conscious. As many have figured out, a side benefit of blocking ads is a better user experience and a substantial drop in bandwidth usage. If you own a pfSense, I would strongly suggest using the aforementioned guide to create an experience very similar to the pi-hole.
Using pfBlockerNG on pfSense has quite a few additional features such as IP blocking and quite honestly, there is no need to add yet another system to manage. Installing Ubuntu server is ridiculously easy. Note: There is a slight difference in the install steps if you are installing I explain where the 2 install paths diverge in the Ubuntu You can safely use the defaults throughout the installation, although I would install security updates automatically when given the option.
You may also need to install SSH if that is how you plan to access and manage your server remotely other than the web interface. You could potentially require more resources if you have a lot of devices or those devices make a ton of DNS requests. That is something you will need to keep an eye on after you get it up and running! After your Ubuntu system finishes the install and reboots, login via an SSH terminal or from the console.
You should be greeted with a welcome screen similar to the one below with the exception your package and security update counts may be different. Once you are logged in and sitting at a terminal prompt, run package updates manually using the command below. Note the command will do the repository update, upgrade the packages, and then reboot in one fell swoop.
Grab your favorite beverage and let that process run its course. After the system updates and reboots, log back in via SSH or the console. As you will see on your own install, the packages and security updates should both be at zero or really close. There is a slight difference with the installed base packages between an Ubuntu Interestingly enough, these additional steps are not necessary for The package differences cause the The way to correct this issue is in the gray box below.
You follow that with an apt-get update and then install the missing packages. Note: the instructions below are only for the If you installed If you are running You do not need to run this command if your apt-get install ran correctly. Yes, it is a single-lined command.
