Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

Any thermal issues? People seem to mention heating problems on forums.
Also how's the battery life?
After an anomaly in spacetime continuum, all systems using Unix time suddenly skip exactly one second.
What would be the consequences of this? Would anybody even notice?
>>54669541
no consequences

Every single one?
Nothing would happen.

detection of alzheimer's should concern you, since it's an age related disease and it's terribly costly.
And the only people all enough to age beyond the point where AD is a problem are whites
OpenRC vs SystemD
Lmao memes. I have used systemd for years and I don't give a shit on openrc.
>muh UNIX philosophy
Yeah? So why not use a true UNIX distribution?
The only thing I hate about potteringware is pulseaudio crap. It works but too much of hassle incase something breaks.

>tfw no NSA/systemDick fucking my gentoo
>that feel when sweet smell of openrc when i start up my rig
Literally no reason to not use openRC unless your distro doesn't allow it.

Adjusting to Full Color fixed both displays. Did I just waste $250 on an IPS?

What does /g/ think of modern text editors, like Atom / VSCode (every editor Electron based), or even Sublime or NeoVim? My only problem is that most are... well, web based and not as neat/light as vim is for example.
>>54669329
you're putting it much more nicely than they deserve.
Sublime isn't web based.
>>54669350
I never said it was, nor NeoVim. I just said most modern text editors are web based. Atom, Code, Brackets...
FUCK ITUNES
>>54669262
Well hijacking system processes to steal your data needs a reboot of those processes

ITT we make /g/ approvd insults. I'll start.
If you were a method in C, you would be fgets. Get it, because fgets sounds like faggot?
I told this one to my CS professor and he had a weird look on his face. Probably because I burned him pretty bad even though I only had a C in his class. Anyway, feel free to use this one.

OH SHIT!!!! SHOTS FIRED!! EPIC THREAD!!! LOLOLOL!!!!
BAHAHAHAHAHA, GOOD THREAD OP!!!!
>>54669201
Thanks. I think this is one of the better threads on this board honestly. Too many of them are Linux 'fanboys' (using that term lightly because they don't really like it, they just can't afford Windows or iOS) bashing on better operating systems.
>>54669175
>fgets sounds like faggot
maybe like 'faggots". you know, with an "s".
try harder, op.

If you want to code you can take a workshop and learn in a few months then get a job, if you want to bullshit your way through a traditional 4 year program with B's then you're going to have a bad time.
>>54669123
Nice, dude. Who are you quoting though?
>>54669123
Did someone actually write that program in earnest or is it just a forced meme?
Please be honest with yourself when answering
Ok, let's talk about one of the most crucial parts in our battle machines, /g/.
What's your current PSU?
What features are essential for you?
Favourite brands?
A PSU of mine is Corsair VS550, it's pretty nice, although it's poor PSU, considering the fact, that is Corsair's product. But I got it in very good condition for something like 35$.
>inb4 corsair vs series
dark power pro 11 650w platinum
best psu, k?
>>54669035
My old 15euro polish power supply burned yesterday after 4 years of use
I ordered aurum gold 600w from fps to replace it
VS 550 and aurum gold cost the same here [60-65 euro]
psus dont matter bc they dont make ur computer faster. i normally buy diablotek bc they are cheap and have a cool name
Why the fuck does legacy ports exist on even on todays mobos?
