My X1 Carbon does now. But it used to drain to empty after a day or two even if it was turned all the way off. Drove me crazy.
The problem ended up being the always-on USB setting in the BIOS. For some reason, even with nothing connected, that would drain the battery until it was completely flat. Once I turned that off, it’ll sleep for weeks like you said.
OP, maybe check the BIOS settings for “Always on USB” or similar and disable that?
I get a twitch every time I see the damn sparkle icon/emoji.
I think the point of 11h is to achieve that kind of range without directional antennas. Basically as a higher-bandwidth version of LoRa.
Yeah, that one took me a minute. I think “drip” or “slow drip”? I know “drip” used to be a term but was never one I associated with “screwball” or “crackpot”. Usually I’d heard “drip” to mean something closer to “dull” or “boring”.

Talk to the hand! Cause the face ain’t listening.
Veren zol fun dir a blintse
Pretty decent unless there’s a lot of animation / video in them. Calling, texting, looking up something on the internet, bank app, auth app, etc all work great. Some of the stock Android components don’t work super great with it, though, like the quick action buttons (though, arguably, they don’t work great on any Android phone either lol).
Feels sluggish at times but that’s just the e-ink being what it is. I mostly treat it like a dumb phone that’s also an e-reader.
I’ve always joked that coding as a hobby is just digital knitting lol.
I’ve gradually weaned off of smartphones over the last 18 months. Currently daily-driving the Minimal Phone and loving its distraction-free (or at least distraction-lite) ways.
I may not be analog like the article is highlighting, but I have basically eliminated the doom scrolling and have reignited my passion for reading (the one “distraction” the Minimal Phone does well is being an e-reader since it’s got an e-ink screen).

I’m just going to ignore the irony of that and appreciate it at face value 😆

Whatever. As long as I can run LineageOS or Debian on it.
Constantly. Usually it takes the form of reducing topics to binary choices and/or purity tests.
Is Optimus Prime the original “boob windows” ?
Yeah. I read a bit more since I commented, and Alton Brown doesn’t just approve - he actually helped design it.
The cost of those is definitely why I still have a mono-vection oven haha.
“Does it piss you off when Google/whatever does [blank]? Yeah, me too. So I run my own versions to not have to deal with that crap. Would you like me to set you up an account on my stuff?”
