Good thing they all use the same laptop! I sense a high level of truth here /s
-
Are you suggesting that this person may not actually be admitting to several crimes openly on twitter
-
I have my doubts
-
-
They obviously all work at the same company, or even department, you conspiranoic!
-
-
By her own math, this would be slightly more than one week’s worth of stolen laptops. So…
-
As if finance guys would have ThinkPads and not macs
-
Work in finance, have a thinkpad
-
IT doesn't count.
-
-
Why would they have macs? Everyone I know in finance has a windows desktop and or laptop.
-
Everyone I know in literally every company has a Windows PC. I've had people tell me that everyone at their office uses a Mac or Linux and I'm just bamboozled. I guess I do work for a large law firm and most law firms, financial companies and most software companies that we work with are windows shops.
-
It depends on the company.

Macs are useless for Finance
-
In my past 20 years in investment banks, i saw only one a guy with a Mac. He was in communication. Everybody got a Thinkpad X, T or X1 Carbon for the execs.
-
The only person I know working in finance couldn't even afford their own ThinkPad. In fact, they are a bit malnourished as they can't even afford food some of the time. But they do live in this big, mostly empty house, which I could never afford in my entire lifetime, and towards mortgage for which most of their money goes. Something-something appreciating assets yada-yada

I wonder what kind of shenanigans you could get up to with a rack of 30+ thinkpads linked as a cluster computer...
-
"...It runs Doom!!"
-
I have some SFF computers I plan on doing this to when the weather turns to crap.
-
Excel stops crashing
-
-
That's one hell of a felony
-
One fell of a helony

“My company got a load of laptops in, wonder kind of cool sm post I can make with ‘em before I deploy ‘em…
…
I got it!”

So, are thinkpads actually good laptops, or are they just cheap and companies buy them in bulk?

Not to repeat myself from when I saw this posted last, but:
Seeing thinkpads running Windows feels just wrong.
They do tend to start out that way, until they come off-lease and have Arch installed on them by a Blåhaj-clutching, thigh-high-wearing FOSS enjoyer
With a tiling WM? 🥹
Hey, there's something in between. I just got myself a T490 and am dual-booting Mint and Windows.
Like 90% of professional laptops in America are this exact set up? I have one sitting on my table right now. You Linux people seem to think there are a lot more of you than there are.
It's true. There's a lot of wickedness in this world.
Were aware we're the minority. But still to see it confirmed in real life 😅
I love my ThinkPad, but that's mostly because of the TrackPoint
