  • I’d just take it out if it’s removable. If you really care about keeping it on during power outages, I’d get an actual UPS to have router and potentially other equipment also plugged in, because I don’t see a “remote” laptop on its own as being very useful without at least the local network up.

    if you decide to leave it plugged in, you can configure it to stop charging at e.g. 80% and charge it again at e.g. 30%, that way it keeps a percentage that will extend the battery life.









  • It’s weird their main reason is performance, but then proceed to benchmark SQLite. Who’s inserting 10s of millions of records per minute on sqlite?

    Even in production, client-server DBMSs, I’d wager that there are plenty of other things that dominate performance before you even get near your choice of a primary key, so it probably doesn’t matter until you get a large enough throughput in your database.









  • Qwen 3.6 and gemma4 models are the only ones usable for agentic prog sessions that I and my employer run locally. It’s less stable and slower than third-party services, even on much better hardware (as it’s with my employer). The best way is to go with a provider hosting deepseek flash/pro if your privacy policy allows though. It’s going to be hard to beat their price.
