  • Technology Connections recently posted a detailed video about dehumidifiers that’s worth watching. But a key takeaway is that on an AC, the hot side is outside (making the inside cool), while in a dehumidifier they are directly next to each other (condensing the moisture).

    Without looking into the specifics, my guess is that it’s not routing the cold air over the hot side to keep things inside the same temperature.






  • This can get a bit complicated with federation. This community is hosted on LW. I am accessing it via sopuli.xyz, and you via feddit.uk. All (presumably) have full bidirectional federation with each other.

    When I hit send, this message will go to Sopuli’s outbox, which will then sync to LW for this community. At that point, this post will live on LW’s servers. Anyone accessing LW directly can see it, even if Sopuli were to go down. Later (probably less than a minute), LW will sync to Feddit.uk, at which point you will be able to see it.

    Note that this is for text posts only. There have been some changes around images and video, both for bandwidth and liability reasons.






  • It’s true for all brands, but especially true for Lenovo - the enterprise machines are nothing like the consumer-grade crap.

    A lot of people will incorrectly shorten it, and even pass it on with the error. But the advice isn’t to get a Lenovo; it’s to get a Thinkpad. Do not get an IdeaPad, or whatever other names they use for the cheap crap. Get a Thinkpad.

    It’s a similar story with HP’s Omen vs Elitebook and Dell’s Inspiron/Vostro vs Latitude. The enterprise line is very different in every way.

    This report draws no distinction between them, as evidenced in the one section that lists models.

    As for repairability, I’ve always found it easy to find the HMM for Thinkpads. My experience is limited, but they’ve also been relatively easy to disassemble and reassemble.
