Will any wired USB mouse/keyboard work with a Thinkpad T420 using Debian?
what reason would lead you to believe they wouldn't?
I would assume only special gaymen ones might not work out of the box, at least with all their features.

well, Amazon has a filter for "platform support" and allows you to select from Windows/Mac/Linux, so I just wanted to be sure. also, any recommendations as far as <$50 mice/keyboards go?

>"platform support"
this is a normie kind of thing
>recommendations as far as <$50 mice/keyboards go?
$50 will get you a pretty good mouse without any fancy features

$50 won't get you a decent mechanical keyboard unless it's on sale

Hey /g/ i have been given the opportunity to get almost any reasonably priced laptop/desktop. Only problem is that im not so good with searching for good computers and not allowed to just buy parts to build my own. So I need advice on some regular laptops or desktop computers I could get that can run photoshop and graphic tablets with ease but also run desktop games like overwatch without any problems (I'll be ok with having to work with lowest quality settings) and it also probably can't be a straight up gaming PC, has to look either generic or artsy.

You're on the wrong board bro
>>55135265
ok, which boards should I try instead?
>>55135226
Why can't you build your own?
so i have this western digital 3tb drive, i was using my computer and accidentally unplugged my OS hdd while windows was still running (i had the case open and was looking at something inside the computer while it was running an accidentally unplugged the hdd while moving wire)
so the screen goes black and all i see is a mouse
i restart, everything is fine with my OS hdd but my secondary 3tb drive became raw, i couldn't access it
i recovered all my data off the 3tb drive with icarepro, then went to format i keep getting errors like:
"Windows was unable...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Install Ubuntu.
i have linux mint installed and i can format using disk and gparted but again the drive still only shows up as 2tb
Contact Western Digital for a new drive, say it was working fine and became defective upon restart or something. Same with happened to me with a 16 GB sandisk thumb drive. Randomly unplugged it one day and then all of a sudden it was now 11 MB (not GB) and empty. Contacted sandisk and they sent a new one.

What is the point of a mechanical keyboard if it makes so much noise that it is almost impossible to use it in the office where most people type the most?
>being this much of a pleb to not know what makes a keyboard high quality
nigger please
honestly, mechanical keyboards are awful.
i've tried 13 of them in my lifetime, and i always graduate back to my old Acer keyboard that came with my 2002 desktop.
if you spend money on a mechnical keyboard you are a nitwit of the highest order.

/Daily Technology Thread/
Hello /g/!
I've seen this thread pop up awhile ago, and I think it's time we brought it back. This thread should be used for broadening you're understanding of a specific part of technology. Weather it be how you could start writing a z80 emulator to actually physically making one out of the transistors and buttons you have lying around!
What should we do to start the topic off?

How about someone explains me the reason behind that zigzag in the traces in your picture.

If you mean why they're "avoiding" each of the lines, my guess is to stop data interference thus reducing the need for re-sending the data speeding up the process as a whole.
oh great another shit general to add to my filter

True!
I'm a security guard.
I've been using cheap dollar store flashlights for awhile, and they're fine in dark areas but barely noticeable in more lit areas.
Is anyone here a flashlight enthusiast? I need a nice reliable one, and maglight's seem like the go-to, but $50 is quite a lot to spend on something that I need to work for a few years with 4-5 hours of daily use.
>>55135081
You're a shitty security guard if you're using dollar store flashlights. Pick one based on three factors in this order lumens, battery life, skull cracking potential, then choose within your desired price range.
Build your own. Go look at solarforce for bodies. Get a solarforce l2, an 18650 battery, and a p60 drop-in and you'll be looking at 500-1000 lumens with a strike bezel for around 50 dollars.
Pic related is pushing 200 dollars in custom parts and outputs 1400+ lumens in a tight beam for over a mile.
