My wife discovers coil whine:
Notes
These are all of my posts made on various platforms which are then automatically accumulated here for posterity.
PSA: The new @geteero@twitter.com Pro 6 APs have terrible coil whine (or "piezoelectric effects in multilayer capacitors" as their engineer on Reddit put it). They are very noisy even from several feet away when they're pushing WiFi traffic.

Trying out OpenBSD on the ThinkPad X1 Nano
Works so far: Wifi, video, touchpad, audio
Not working: Suspend (no S3)
Keyboard is a short throw but feels good, not much different than I remember my X1 Carbon feeling
Doesn't seem to get too hot or have a loud fan, no coil whine

ASUS: here's 8 new gaming laptops that are weird but we're trying new stuff sorry about the RGBs
Pirating one less piece of software now
When your keyboard needs palm-rejection
Am I the only one that really likes stickers but is afraid to commit to putting the rare ones on something permanently? I never keep laptops long enough to cover the lid with them and I don't know what else to put them on.
