Hi everyone,

I'm considering buying a ThinkPad with the following specs:

• Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, 8C up to 4.8GHz
• 32GB LPDDR5X RAM
• Integrated Intel Arc 140V
• 16" 2560×1600 IPS, 120Hz, 100% sRGB
• 1TB SSD

My plan is to install Ubuntu (or another Linux distro) and use it primarily for software development.

My typical workload includes:

• Backend development (mostly Python, Go and Rust - at the moment)
• Docker, SQL databases, Redis, Celery, RabbitMQ etc.
• Infrastructure/devops work (mostly Terraform)
• Running multiple containers and services locally

I also do some AI development, but not heavy local training. By "light AI," I mean things like fine-tuning or training on relatively small datasets, experimenting with older/smaller models, running embeddings locally and building RAG applications. For anything computationally heavy, I'd use cloud GPUs.

Also, if this laptop is not a good choice for this use case, I’d really appreciate suggestions for better alternatives (range up to 3k$).

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone using this machine (or a similar ThinkPad) for development. Thanks!

Прв пат патувам со авион и имам неколку глупи прашања за луѓето што веќе имаат патувано, а тие се:

1. Дали смеам да носам лекови (Аналгин/Кафетин/Пробиотик) со мене? Ова се обични лекови за не дај Боже ситуации ако имам главоболка или болка во стомак.

2. Дали има кодекси за облекување т.е дали може да се патува по кратки панаталони или мора фармерки/тренерки/долги панталони?

Споделете некои tips & tricks за новајлии во авиони

Hi everyone,

I'll be visiting Málaga for the first time this September and I'm really looking forward to it!

I've already booked a room on Calle Cobertizo del Conde, but after looking around on Google Street View, I'm starting to second-guess my choice. The area looks a bit sketchy to me with all the graffiti and some of the buildings looking run down.

Did I make a mistake booking there? Is the area generally safe for a tourist? I'll mostly be walking to and from the city center during the day, but I might also be coming back in the evening after dinner.

I'd really appreciate hearing from locals or people who've stayed nearby. Thanks!
