This is my daily driver at the moment - X201s modded with a 51nb motherboard with i7-10710u (a.k.a X2100). A lot of geo nerd cred to whomever can guess the location by the mountains :)

It was back in 2021, I think. Still works great after quite some abuse (including leaving it outside a couple years ago and it getting covered in dew). Overall really impressed how well it's still holding up. If they kept making motherboards for it, it would probably be my "forever laptop", but alas, it looks like I will have to switch in a few years when compiling gets too slow. It will probably be a framework, but I will really miss the keyboard.

As an ivy bridge user the 10710U sounds like the fastest thing these is lol

What is .mix? Looks python-ish?

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

It's .nix. Hacking on nixpkgs for work.

Tatra mountains? Slovakia side?

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Nope. Right continent, wrong mountain range. But they do look pretty similar :)

That's a nice setup. Is that fescue? Bluegrass might be a slight upgrade for the user experience.

Jokes aside, looks like you have a great working environment.
