Thanks. Yes I messed up. I have a surface pro. I do remember the surface book I thought it was bad ass but never could afford it. Anyways yes the surface pro has been very suprising. Unfortunately I have one with only 8gb of ram and it suffers because of it. Get the 16gb model if you can.
I’d do a trump impression and claim that my concepts of a plan are now a full plan and I say, here is my plan and we are going to stop arming or selling weapons to anyone. And in fact we are cutting the military budget by 90% and that we are going to focus on women and give them paid vacation when they are pregnant and we are going to use our surplus money to fund schools and teachers and build housing for the poor and make Medicare for all. Oh and we are going to tax anyone who makes over 10 million a year at 100%.
I got a surface book. Runs windows but touch works amazing on it. I’m using it to read books. Battery lasts a long time and the keyboard is nice for typing. Mine is an older model (7) and you can find them used for pretty cheap.
Don’t over complicate it. 3 copies: backup, main, and offsite; 2 different media: hdd and data center; 1 offsite. I like blackblaze but anything from google to Amazon will work.
Look into flirc. It’s a usb device that can read ir signals. It has a companion program that lets you map any button on the remote to any keyboard or mouse buttons. I use it to map my tv remotes u,d,l,r to the keyboards udlr buttons.
No doubt! I wanted to just quickly add that sometimes you can find more obscure movies through YouTube, Roku, plex or the many other free movie and tv options available. My wife and I just came upon this situation today where we couldn’t find the movie from her youth to rent or buy anywhere but lucky YouTube had it (with ads of course).
I now realize you are trying to buy a laptop on a budget. I’d definitely go for the X1 gen 7 or 8, 16gb of ram minimum. The 1080p screen will give you better battery life but the 4k screen has Dolby vision and will make watching movies a better experience.
What are the apps that you will be using? I’m really excited by these new Qualcomm laptops coming out. LTT is doing an experiment and having 3 of its employees switch full time to see if they are viable. If you can wait another week I’d see what their conclusions are.
Does this happen on iOS too? I listen to podcasts every night for an hour and never hear any ads except for the ones encoded with the file, ie sponsor ads.
Lidarr already has a lists import feature specifically with Spotify integration. The choices are: “Spotify followed artists,” “Spotify playlists,” “Spotify saved albums.”
