Lenovo quietly launched the world’s lightest laptop but it won’t sell it outside Asia

  • See:

    Doesn’t mean they can’t offer both, and there’s no reason they can’t have status lights, 7-row keyboards, and reasonable port offerings (even if it’s mostly a bunch of USB C ports, which can service just about anything) in a smaller package, it’s that they’re cheap, lazy fucks selling trends instead of utility.

    So now you get less and less utility and maintainability for the same or greater price. They spend less on engineering and charge you the same or more for it. Fuck them.

  • Yes, but we're talking about laptops.

  • I hope so. Now companies can wind down their New and Improved bullshit and get back to their regularly scheduled bullshit.

  • Same here (W520). I have maxed out everything. 32GB RAM, two SSDs, two external monitors. I will continue using this thing and make it the ThinkPad of Theseus.

    Fuck modernity.

  • Considering the extreme gender disparity of online dating, I'm inclined to agree. Funny how no one cares about that inequality.

  • Biden defeated Trump by nearly 8m votes in 2020

    The fact this number only accounts for about 2.5% of the US population is... terrifying.

  • Don't do this. Any mask that you can wash is useless for protection. You need an N95/FFP2 or better.

  • American houses are generally less well insulated and built with the explicit expectation that there will be active air conditioning used to maintain the temperature.

    Well, that's just silly and shortsighted. A well-insulated house will maintain its temperature more efficiently and require less active temperature control.

    So that sort of mindset seems pretty on point for 'murica.

  • Honestly, they should have said "fuck you, no tools whatsoever to replace the battery."

    My mid-2010's phone has this and probably the only reason I still have it (instead of contributing to electronic waste) is because I can replace the battery so easily, which I've done at least twice.
