  • :p I’ve got laptops, most recently a ThinkPad X13(s? I don’t remember) Gen 2, but I want the gpu so I can retire/repurpose my Acer Predator. The hardware is solid and still doing well, but the execution of basically everything else is horrible. And it weighs several pounds, I can use it as a weapon with ease. It was 1 of 2 (after tons of research) laptops at the time with both cpu and gpu from amd, 5/6 years ago now. MSRP was $2700 if I remember right, but I got it for $1400 which is about what it was worth.

    I don’t have stripey socks or a 🦈 :( but I do have a 🐯 that’s good for cuddling :3


  • My father has a fw 16" per my suggestion, and I want to get one as well, but they don’t offer financing and are fucking expensive. Like shit the bed, last time I looked the diy version was like $2,300 for the upgraded amd cpu and gpu but with no ram, storage… I’m not made of money 😫

    But the joke is that normies have no idea what Linux is and even less of a clue about where to get machines that are made for it.







  • Why is “ios” the only one not in all-caps? Why does the apple hq list their mobile system while the other two list their desktop/workstation/server systems? Why does each get a different proportion of the screen/why aren’t they equally sized/why are they not stacked vertically? Why is this man not using dark mode, and how is the obvious and glaring light bleed at the bottom-left of his monitor just get accepted?

    This picture, it frustrates me on many levels.

    Oof. I have my VMs getting backed up to another machine so theoretically (untested) I should be able to recover with less than a day of data loss (very minimal for this box). The annoying part would be getting it hooked up to a monitor and keyboard, since it’s under an end-table in the living room.

    This is the first issue in like… 15 months? Hopefully it stays rather uneventful.

    Yay, it only took 2 hours and the help of an llm since the upgrade corrupted my lvm metadata! Little bit of post cleanup and verifying everything works. Now I can go to sleep (it’s 5am).

    Wasn’t that bad, but not exactly relaxing. And when my VMs threw a useless error (‘can’t start need manual fix’) I might have slightly panicked…
