none for me on the 2018 model. Pretty much love it. I did have the older one 2 models ago, which did have the whine, but I bought it at a discount because of that.
Same laptop here. I've noticed the laptop drains battery when its suspended which is pretty annoying because I sometimes go a couple of days without using it. Have you run into that? I haven't had any luck getting suspend to disk to work.
It does drain, maybe 2%/hr but I thought that was normal? That's what I expect to get on a Mac. I did have to `echo XHC > /proc/acpi/wakeup` because I would shut the lid, but something on the USB bus kept turning it back on.
The article is talking about remote areas (NZ - Lord of the Rings), beaches, camping trails etc. These areas didn't get a lot of traffic. Now they do which is leading to the undesired outcomes. It's not talking about locals vs tourists. It's mainly talking about sudden influx of people coming into an area.
I'm a kiwi, I don't think people are against visitors per-se - it's the enormous amount of poo they leave behind that they ought to be packing out - it's particularly a problem because we have a culture of 'freedom camping' - stopping on the side of the road for the night, but now we have tens of 1000s of camper vans without builtin facilities piling on the roadside poo
PS: Lord of the Rings was a movie it's not actually what we're about
We've had the same problem here in Iceland over the past 3 years, and it's only getting worse. We (the locals) call them "toilet paper tourists". It's a classic example of what economists call ´externalities´; i.e. great for the camper van companies (they make "shitloads" of money, pun not intended), great for the toilet paper tourists, who have a vacation on the cheap, but the cost is dumped (again, not intended) onto innocent 3rd parties in the form of degraded environment and diminished experiences. Oh, and good for importers of pot noodles and cat food.
Me too. But I'm a bit out of touch. I'm aware roadside camping waste has been a mainstream issue for a while, but are many in NZ talking about pressure on environmentally sensitive areas? Is that a very big part of the conversation? (This article might cause one to believe as much).
If I look at the local newspaper and the periodic airing of grievances, it's all about camper vans and piles of poo, and then maybe about people who can't safely drive on the left side of the road
I think there probably are isolated areas that are now seeing more people than they ever have but most locals don't get there either - DoC (the government conservation arm) is quite capable of closing places if required
Maybe start requiring rental campers to have built-in facilities? This seems like a bit of hypocrisy to complain about visitors pooing just like the locals.
some of them do, there's a move afoot to require all of them, but some are tiny and pretty barebones.
The locals generally aren't travelling the country and pulling over into a picnic area when it gets dark, they're going there for a few hours and aren't as likely to need to poo, but it's their back yard.
Ideally we simply start building more public toilets, but the cost of that's going to fall on local property tax, there's no easy mechanism to separate enough money from tourists in vans to pay for this - our new government seems to be looking at an airport arrivals tax ($20 or something) to try and cover both this stuff and some of the costs of providing more protections in the National Parks, which the previous govt starved.
Meanwhile we fine people caught camping where they shouldn't and who make a mess, but about half skip out without paying them (from Monday's local paper)
Have he new 9370 with NixOS, no cool whine. Although I had it on the one I had 2 models ago. WiFi and Bluetooth work fine for me. So maybe they’ve worked the kinks out?
This type of article might be the step to demystifying photography. But the story I get told over and over again (not directly, but by exposure) is about the photographer that traveled miles and waited days to get that shot.
-- with the latest kernel, even the webcam is working now (the only thing that didn't).
