Jörg 🇩🇪🇬🇧🇪🇺So, nach ganz viel Recherche über die CPUs in Bezug auf meine Anwendungsfälle für den Rechner und auch die Sinnhaftigkeit von #Thunderbolt für mich, ist nun eine Entscheidung gefallen.
Ich werde mir einen #refurbished Thinkpad T14 Gen 1 kaufen. Er hat eine #AMD Ryzen5 Pro 4650U #cpu
Speicher 16GB, SSD 512GB
OS wird Linux Fedora.
Ich tue mich mit solchen Entscheidungen immer sehr schwer und muss alles immer mindestens 10x von vorne, hinten, rechts, links, oben und unten betrachten.
squalouJenkinsHello masto,
I need geeky #linux #laptop help.
I'm looking for 'cheap' 14 inch laptops (bought new) that includes #thunderbolt 3 or 4 and full linux support. (And AZERTY keyboards)
#Dell used to have nice models *but* their new ones have "Mipi" webcams that do not work at all with any distro. (Let's call that 'progress'?).
Why thunderbolt ? For display with daisy chaining.
(Edit : maybe usb c with DP Alt mode would work instead of thunderbolt, or not, what a maze !)
Thank you !
MikaQuick review of the #BOUTOP USB-C to Lightning adapter, the only one I could find that is MFI certified: Charging works as expected, and pleased to see that even data transfer/sync works.
Connected it to various Lightning devices including #iPhone 11, iPhone 6, and charging/data sync worked without any warning. The only thing that prompted a warning was my wife's old #iPod Touch 5th gen - but even then it still works.
I'm surprised I've not thought of using something like this before.. but it's a gamechanger, esp in this 'transition' phase of phasing out Lightning stuffs - which will take a long time, these things last forever. So now at home, in my travel pack, and in my car, I just carry a bunch of 240W 80Gbps #Thunderbolt/#USB4 (USB-C) cables and a couple of these USB-C to Lightning, as well as USB-C to Micro USB adapters - and I'm golden.
Bonus: I also have a USB-A cable with a magnetic port which only comes with magnetic USB-C and Micro USB connector heads - this Lightning adapter works perfectly with the USB-C head, so I could even dedicate one of these adapters to a USB-C head like that for an MFI-certified 'magnetic Lightning cable'.
Also, TIL: #Apple actually has a site where you could verify a product's MFI certification, that's helpful.

Very refreshing while we can still afford coffee.
