I was also skeptical with newer ThinkPads, but at the end I accepted the risk and bought one last year: T14s Gen 6, the one with AMD CPU. It is perfect IMO except for one small issue that affected me in the first few months and got resolved with a firmware update: battery drain during sleep was significant. It lost around 15-20% charge overnight. After the updates it loses at most 5% in the same duration.

And yeah it can update its firmware on Linux, just like Windows. Pretty rare thing to see. It has official support for Ubuntu and Fedora. I myself tried Arch and it works perfectly as well.

I have managed to ditch WhatsApp (thankfully) and it has been years since I last had to migrate to a new device. The process was quite simple, at least as far as I can remember.

First, navigate to the backup menu (in WhatsApp) where you are supposed to choose a Google account and backup frequency. I think there should be a button named “backup now” or something. This will create a local backup located at Android/data_or_media/whatever_whatsapps_app_id_is. Browse the directory and you should see your backup in a nested folder.

Then, migrate this folder to the new device and put it in the same location before installing WhatsApp. After you install and open WhatsApp, it should prompt you to import your old messages from the backup.

Hey, with Immich 3.2 it looks like the deletion behavior is now what you wanted. Trash button in opened images does not ask for confirmation.

Yeah, except that Rockstar’s games have always looked better than their trailers

I really gotta try this game out. The visuals look amazing.

It does. I have been using it for a few years now without any issues. I also have Google Play Services installed, so I don’t know if it works without that.

I don’t think that’s possible currently. It is probably worth discussing on GitHub.

Weird. When I disabled that setting Immich started asking twice for deleting images. I turned it back on and it went back to normal.

Edit: I think I misunderstood your original question. Do you want Immich to not ask for confirmation at all when deleting things?

Oh, right, sorry. I didn’t want to delete the app and reinstall it to find out which permission it was, so I just guessed from its existing permissions.

On my device the relevant toggle is located in Apps > Special app access > Media management apps.

I believe you need to choose “Always allow all” option in “Photos and videos” permission.

Keep in mind that Wine is not immune to Windows malware, which is always a possibility with pirated software.

You can use Bottles, which runs sandboxed on flatpak and in my experience works better than adding executables to Steam as a “Non-Steam game”.
