I just got a gen 3 T14 and it still has one. We have a few t14 gen6 AMD models at work and I think they did away with them

Just got a gen3 last night and loving it so far. We use L13 at work and was going to swear off Lenovo if this one is shit

No we will just use the spring gas then

I think he was half joking and half thinking of communities hes on that are more tech savvy. I’m also a little bit younger than him and interact with people younger than me, and I think theres a disconnect there.

Yes, I miss vent and irc but most people never used text or voice chat until it was centralized and braindead easy to use. I would like to go back to something like that, but most people never used it in the first place (compared to active users now) and probably have no interest in learning/setting it up.

As an early 30 something guy, I don’t see most people my age hopping ship to something like Matrix or older comm software because of the learning curve vs Discord. Younger people even less based on my personal experience.

I was talking with a friend about this when they announced age verification. He seemed pretty optimistic that this would hopefully bring back forums/irc/vent servers or anything self hostable, but I’m not to sure. I’m sure all of us here knew what was going on with this, but I’m sure the average person still doesnt care as much and will continue to trade away privacy for convenience. We all have family and friends who come to when something like this happens, but continue to use services afterwards. Seems like we will continue to be a fun club of like minded people here on fedi stuff with most people staying with what they know.

Sorry for the rant

Wake me when

White guys wearing shorts when its cold memes always makes me think of Suffer for fashion by Of Montreal . Thanks everyone for reminding me its time for an Elephant 6 listen session.

Personally I was always confused by it. I’m a white guy who loves long clothes and rock jeans whenever I can. My dad would (still does sometimes) wear shorts when its sub 50°F. I would ask why and he said he was from Michigan so I wrote it off.

I had a few friends in middle and high school who would wear shorts year round. I never realized why and they told me they were tough and shorts look cool. After growing up and looking back on their situation they probably only owned a set of clothes for year round use.

My first “true gaming PC” has been turned into a NAS and small docker host. Its about to turn 15, and I have spare hardware to upgrade it, but I like to see how much I can churn out of it.

I was moving plex from my NAS to a dedicated box this weekend and spend 3 hours going crazy on why my movie library wasn’t showing up. After a break and looking through fstab, I realized “novie” wasn’t a share…

Remember kids, always work from the simplest solution up

Just learn how to do oral and how to angle the dangle…unless there is nothing to dangle

Bohdi is pretty nice. Needed a Linux test device at a job a few years ago and for some reason this was one of the only ones approved. Was pretty solid for the few times I needed to use it.
