olivilon Essential shutting down after failing to launch ‘GEM’ smartphone

Recently switched from an iPhone 8 to a 11 Pro, which is smaller than the standard 11, and it`s pretty close size-wise but a bit thicker.

olivilon iOS First Impressions (2018)

Considering I was in the same position and recently switched to an 11 Pro, I now find the extra screen real estate to be nicer than the negatives of the notch. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the notch is a nice solution, but as it is either 1. part of the menu bar or 2. hidden in the black bars when watching 16:9 videos, it's not so bad.

But a hardware keyboard takes up a lot of potential screen space, even when it's not in use.

Pretty sure the previous comment was talking about Jobs and not Ive.

olivilon Thinkpad X210

I have an X1C6 on Linux as well since launch, but since they added s3 sleep support it's been 100%. What compatibility issues are you having?

olivilon Boeing 737 Max Hit Trouble Right Away, Pilot’s Tense Radio Messages Show

I work in the simulation industry, and once a simulator is certified for training, you cant "update it" to another model. The customer has to buy a new 737 MAX sim. However, since the 737ng and 737 MAX are common type (meaning that in the eyes of the authorities, if you're licensed for one, you're licensed for both) customers aren't REQUIRED to get a 737 MAX sim granted that they already have a 737ng sim.

Just to clarify: you can udpate a simulator and recertifie it. e.g. in regard to the motion or visual systems etc etc. But to transform a simulator into another aircraft would be beyond economically sane.

olivilon Countries With Zero Rating Have More Expensive Wireless

Highly anecdotal but while visiting Lithuania I had a prepaid SIM card with 200 local call minutes and 6GB of (quite fast) LTE data + unlimited Facebook (including Messenger) and Spotify for 3 Euros for 30 days, SIM card included.

olivilon Suspend for the X1 Carbon 2018 on Linux

I run linux, have the latest BIOS, but it is not the NFC model, with the "HDR" screen and i7-8650U. I idle around 43C and my fan is completely off under 50ish, at which point it (very silently) ramps up. I get 8-10 hours of battery life, and the screen is fantastic (and very very bright). However the speakers are worst than a 200$ smartphones. No issue with the trackpad as it is a non-NFC model.

I suggest OP revises his configuration...
