  • That entire lineup (gen 1 through 3) I think cap at 65W, the rest of it is to power the other ports.

    I had to pick up the new tb5 dock with a 265W power supply to support my newest thinkpad, I’m moving the other dock over to another bit of kit to support my older laptops (t480, x1 yoga, x13), but yeah its only 65W.

    The rest is for devices. The USBC ports get a 30W allocation, the USB-A get 15W, the internal controllers another 15W, and the remaining 10W is for the video processing onboard.









  • Actually given that, if you have a weekly with AI as part of it, tagging [AIT] will allow people to filter it out.

    Its pretty ancillary to the newsletter itself so its not really required, but just to mention… if it were tagged, any low effort comments like “slop” or similar would then be removed. I don’t really see that on your posts in general though, so more a thought for later should it become a problem.




  • Less than marketing, much more than nothing. If you do nothing other than the wrap, there’s a chance it’ll work out. If you add in appropriate prep, such as removing the brush (remove anything like pine needles from gutters, remove all leaves, etc) for at least 30’, then make sure everything around for another 75’ is cut low, mow it down. That will really keep the heat down to a safe level for the wrap.

    Also smart to keep the home itself in mind. Roofs should be metal, composite, tile, etc but not woof shingle. Gaps should be checked for and sealed so embers dont get in. Chimneys need to be screened, along with any vents (there are FD reviewed vents too, any state with a wildfire issue has recommendations).

    Anyway, yeah, they do work, but it pays to be aware of all the ways to protect yourself/your home. It’ll definitely improve the chances that temps will stay in a range they can be dealt with.
