ThinkPads generally aren't low to medium Windows laptops though, they're literally several thousand dollar machines. It's just they age incredibly well, so they end up on the used market at a heavily discounted price after a while. I'd be surprised if a Chromebook outperformed a ThinkPad when it comes to actual performance.

Yeah that's a good point about keyboard and mice, that's kind of why I like having an actual standalone laptop. For me I feel like a tablet isn't as portable as a phone, but it's also not as useful as a standalone laptop, so it's kind of hard for me to find a use case for it.

It's not a requirement but it's a good indication that she's been in the country for a long time, it's not like she just snuck in illegally from her home country. That was my point.

faster with the things it can do

What do you mean by this? Surely you don't mean actual performance, right?

I don't game a ton but having the performance to be able to do so is really nice IMO. The battery life is great as well (like 6+ hours depending on what you do etc), and being able to put any OS I want on it is huge too. I also like how durable it is too.

I feel like if I got a tablet, I'd want a keyboard, and then a mouse too. That'd still be best for portability though, most likely, but it's kind of nice having a full laptop experience.

This is Trump's America.

Notice how she speaks perfect English. This is clearly someone who doesn't belong in the US /s

What a fucking joke of a country.

I was thinking of buying a Chromebook for travelling cause it's cheap. I was very close to buying one, but someone told me about the world of used ThinkPads. I ended up buying a used ThinkPad with an AMD R7 4750U and I am so glad I did. It can run literally every game I want lol

I thought it was his sister who wrote the speech the AI read, but yeah, this whole thing feels wrong and gross.

Corporate monetary fiduciary duty is such a fucking insane bizzareoland concept to me.

I hope it does worse than the Wii U tbh, Nintendo needs to be knocked down quite a few pegs. I am quite fed up with them.

I'm not so sure.

All of my friends who are less pissed off at Nintendo than I am are not even considering buying a Switch 2 because Nintendo basically priced themselves out of the market. All of my friends who have a Switch 1 will not be buying the Switch 2, that's pretty significant IMO, but I guess we'll see.

If you have a coworker that doesn’t want to do their job, your employer has a shitty employee.

I think it's less that people don't want to do any work at all or less than the "minimum" (except for some rare cases), and more that people are doing only the minimum, not putting in any extra effort, not going above and beyond - because their salaries are stagnating, their employers are only paying them the minimum and not a cent more, and their extra efforts are going unrecognized. Ask me how I know. I have seen it myself personally, multiple times at multiple companies, and I have seen it through my friends experiences as well.

In unions, it's called work-to-rule. Most jobs/companies don't have unions, so we get "quiet quitting" instead. The more conditions stay the same, or the worse they become, the worse the "quiet quitting" becomes.

If you want to motivate your employees, reward them. Give them something to strive towards. Reward their extra efforts! Don't just give them the bare minimum and hope that they will keep going above and beyond for you, because that's not realistic and it's not sustainable.

He has not.

Donald Trump, the way he eats, you think he’s going to live past his term?

I think he will. I think he could outlive many of us. Modern healthcare is incredible, when you can afford your own team of doctors it's even better.

That he’s going to be lucid enough by the end of it, to try and hang on to power?

True, he probably won't be, but it's still possible. I think it's a real concern.

Yep, I like to play their older games on a mix of original hardware, modding, and emulation.

I'm still busy enjoying their older consoles. They probably hate that.

The Trump effect is wild lmao

Just wait until they start banning porn. It's already started in some states tbh.

Canada almost had the same thing happen, but thankfully Poilievre didn't win PM, and even lost his seat too as a bonus.

It wasn't a clear end in sight, there was still lots of content and systems that needed to be ported over to the new system, a new payment system to be integrated, and other new features they needed. They had two developers who were familiar with the new website, me and another dev. I did kind of suspect that something like this was possible, but I didn't think they would be dumb enough to actually do it. It turns out, they were dumb enough to do it.

They were just really cheap, and I was most likely their highest paid developer on my team, and myself and another dev were replaced by friends of manager that laid me off.

After that manager laid me off, I asked for a reference or a letter of recommendation, and was ghosted entirely. It happens.

Windows is malware.

I remember when Linux users used to say that, but it turns out they were right.

I'm glad I leaved that cursed OS behind.

I mean, it's kind of not incorrect:

Windows 11 users reportedly losing data due to Microsoft’s forced Windows 11

I got laid off 3 months after I launched a modern website to replace my former company's old platform that none of their other developers wanted to work with.

I did exactly what they told me, something they wanted for years and years, and then I got laid off as a thanks instead of a bonus.

lol

Though I ended up getting a job that pays 30% more so I guess it ended up okay.
