wonders why windows 10 on a late model i7 feels no faster than debian on a c1d.
<UmbralRaptor>
(Probable answer: I'm careful to conserve precious processor time and memory on the C1D, but the i7 is setup to be profligate. Especially with McAfee virus, iTunes, Steam, etc.)

UmbralRaptor: is Apple style function keys where the alternate function (e.g. media control) happens unless you hit Fn?
<Ellied>
on my HP, that's one of the (very, very few) annoying features you can actually disable in the setup utility.
<UmbralRaptor>
Ellied: yes. Implicitly also that they're half-height. (But most laptops do that. =/)
<Ellied>
ye, mine are like that too. on my TB they're like 3/4 height.

can't wait for her new toughbook battery to arrive; this one is lasting like 20 minutes now
<UmbralRaptor>
Eek.
<Ellied>
I think it has a bad cell; it goes from about 70% to 10% instantly
* UmbralRaptor
is amazed at how many ways laptop keyboards can be borked.
<Ellied>
it's pretty remarkable

Lack of numpads is ever popular (this includes you, Apple), though is semi-forgiveable in the notebook form factor. Messing with PgUp/PgDn/Home/End/Ins/Del/Pause/Scroll/PrntScr is also popular.

oh yeah, so, I just found this mysterious ASCII file on my HP in my documents folder called TORTURE2.TXT, which is 80 megabytes of what appears to be battery charge data.
<UmbralRaptor>
(The last 3 are hidden behind Fn on the ancient HP notebook. The new HP Envy is outright missing the Pause/Break key, despite running windows and including a numpad)

keeps on salvaging HP hardware for some reason. o_O

It has time, "U" (presumably voltage?) "I", "A*h" and "W*h" in it. The unit of time is unspecified, but it goes from zero to a little over 50000 in steps of 0.1.
