    Or in my case, my Thinkpad T490 is absolutely brain dead and shuts itself down / crashes during idle sleep mode every time.

    Similarly, my Yoga C930 battery drained in 2 days while powered off and fingerprint scanner stops working after waking from sleep.

    Lenovo used to be good…


  • My foot’s already half way out the door. I have all my plugins and password manager ready to go when I end up making the switch.

    The only annoying thing right now is, there’s no tab groups on Firefox, and Google sites like Gmail and calendar have a weird aesthetic behavior where scroll bars show up where they shouldn’t be. It’s like nails on a chalkboard but for my eyes.

    I also really do like using GPay in Chrome on Mobile when it’s available but I’ll have to forego that, or just use it when I need to.

    Sidenote, Google knows it’s coming too cuz they made their password manager much better, and released passkey support. The timing is too perfect, they want another reason for people to stay. Good thing I have my own password manager!





  • Not to mention their proprietary built in apps aren’t that great. As a Windows user, doing anything to try and interact with any of the content on an iPhone (sync contacts, download photos, etc) was a huge pain in the ass. The amount of holes I had to jump through was so bad it must be intentional.

    There’s a clear bias to only give good support to people who have macOS, my main PC is on Windows, and I don’t ever plan on buying a Mac. So it just means I will never own an iPhone again. They kind of dug themselves into a hole of this crappy walled garden and never thought to think it could also bite them in the ass.
