I am also dumb and worthless.

Same, but also for TrackPoint. I have the touchpad disabled. I don’t need to move my hand away from keyboard, I can endlessly scroll through pages at varying speeds just by finger pressure, and even cooler, I can scroll sideways just as easily. Oh, and I can also scroll both vertically and horizontally combined, to just easily navigate in the 2D space, pretty cool.
Although I also use the touchscreen a lot. I don’t want a regular laptop anymore. Unfortunately the 360 ThinkPads seem a bit rare when trying to find a used one.
Let me check what I could get if I tried to buy it new.
ThinkPad L13. Intel Core Ultra 5 125U, 16GB LPDDR5, 512GB SSD, 1920x1200 IPS, WiFi 6E, plastic body. €1,398.76 with 3% student discount. That seems overpriced, at the very least for my use case.
I think you’re forgetting femboys.


OK, you explained it well to me with the car example. I am not a car person, all I know about them is they can usually move, but I am not really interested to learn more.


I actually thought I was having issues with Debian. I was only getting like 6 - 8 updates when I tried to do them, even after a longer period of time. I kept searching around how to update Debian properly, but found no good answer.
Then something like 2 months later there was a large number of updates at once. So it is working then, huh.


Don’t worry, they’ll get monetized to hell.


From a deal on racknerdtracker.com (so RackNerd as the name suggests).
But their panel is a bit limited. If you want a custom OS that isn’t provided, you have to open a ticket with them to get an ISO mounted. You can also boot into recovery environment, but that is outdated minimal installation of Debian 9 without working APT. I was still able to use it to install Arch Linux from bootstrap image though. I just had to decompress it on my PC, create a temporary partition for it and scp it over.
And I am again mentioning Arch. It comes naturally.


https://racknerdtracker.com/ keeps all the deals that don’t expire.


Not at all. And that’s without whois privacy.

.meme is $24.99/year
.io is whopping $69.00/year


Sorry, but the argument above was for a regular user, who doesn’t know what Rufus is, who doesn’t know the concept of OS, who simply knows thinks the files are saved “on the computer” (while they somehow ended up on OneDrive).

You should go back to your home country or something like that. /s


What about more extreme cases, say Castaway (movie) type situation. Stranded on an island in middle of nowhere.
But conveniently, one of the packages has a functional 2m battery powered radio and a Yagi too. There’s no one you can make contact with, except… the ISS.
What if the ISS was the only station you could contact?
“Hello International Space Station, I am stranded on an island after a plane crash. Can you help?”

I asked a lecturer some question, I think it was what happens when bit shifting signed integers.
He asked an LLM and read the answer.
Similarly he asked an LLM how to determine memory size allocated by malloc. It said that it was not possible, and that was the answer. But a 2009 answer from stack overflow begged to differ.
At least he actually tried it out when I told him.
But at this point I even had my father send me an LLM written slop that was clearly bullshit (made up information about non-existent internal system at our college), which he probably didn’t even read as he copied everything including “AI answers may be inaccurate.”


I have similar issue with Google.
At some point I used to use Google Photos backups. I wanted to delete the backed up files, but there’s no way to do that. It would also delete them from the devices.
And I guess it checks them based on hash, because even in the main view it always figures out where the files are currently stored, if on device, even after I moved them elsewhere. Otherwise these other images only show up in their respective folders, not the main view.


You can always re-start.
