The funniest part is that the laptop has been in sleep or hibernate all that time, not off.

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago

Sleep is almost off, and hibernate is just fancy off.

How come hibernate isn’t an option anymore in windows?

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

You can still enable it, but between sleep and fast boot options it basically became obsolete.

Hibernate was always an iffy option, so many different motherboards implemented it so differently. Light sleep is usually good enough, and has well defined wake triggers

Only ten years old? Hell my desktop is around that age, doing just fine. I do need to get some more memory though, 16GB isn't quite cutting it for the number of programs I'm running simultaneously these days (and having 2500 open tabs in firefox doesn't help). That's the beauty of linux though, it never forces you to upgrade or chokes out your system with unwanted ads and background processes.

Are you aware of about:unloads?

I have no idea what you're asking. Can you get a better data plan so you're able to transmit more than a few letters each week?

Install Linux on that old gentleman and he'll be dancing the cha-cha

My almost 10 year old laptop is running proxmox. The display is busted, keyboard and touchpad doesn't work the battery only lasts for 10mins but it is still running 3VMs and 2 LXC containers. And after seeing this I feel like I'll be the first one on chopping block once robot uprising starts.

Most ten year old laptops I see are in a so great shape, that the meme doesn't really apply anymore.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

As the shaky old laptop plays it quietly passes a note along, "Can I please update?" You deny the request. The old laptop fan spins a little slower, like it was disappointed.

My Thinkpad T440p is over a decade old ans still running smoothly, I just threw in a ssd and 8gb of ram :3

Still using my 2009 Dell Inspiron 11z occasionally.

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

😄my 10y old macBookPro running endeavourOS can still be used for most tasks I need a PC for

Some on the Go music production, some websurfing (including using my self hosted web apps), and some coding, of course.
