Why does /g/ love the ThinkPad so much?
I have never used one. Just asking.
Linux has fantastic Thinkpad support.
>>52577489
It's the most practical laptop a man could own
Btw, your pic related is not an actual thinkpad. I don't recommend buying that
>>52577489
>better keyboards than most other laptops
doesn't feel as good as a Model M or anything, but it's much nicer to type on (and easier to type accurately on) than typical chiclet boards. The ones on Macs are especially awful and I don't know how people stand them.
>repairability
You can just go and download a complete teardown guide that tells you how to remove any piece of the thing and reassemble it afterwards. It's fairly easy to find parts or junker machines on ebay from businesses upgrading. These things aren't true for many other models of laptop. They're also fairly durable to begin with.
>Linux support
Linux generally just werks on them
>cost
A used one isn't expensive at all, considering how much you get. Again, because of businesses that buy the things by the trainload and then later upgrade. There's a lot of supply in the market.
>aesthetics
It's like the exact opposite of the Apple look. Black instead of white, loads of ports instead of hyperminimalism, function over form instead of form over function. Some of the newer ones aren't as good, though.
Ancient thread: >>52572064
What are you working on, /g/?
Looking for C compilers on Windows, I'm done with MinGW's bullshit. Do I really have to work on a VM?
Second for type inference.
Third for promoting D while having never used it
>not owning an i7/dGPU Surface Book
>owning Mac unironically
even why
I have one and no it's not perfect.
>no USB type c
>drivers fucked up the book
Fucking could've been goat but Fuck it.
>inb4 poo in loo from flaky biscuits with too much salt
>No OSX
>Can't buy them without Winshit
Why bother?
your thoughts /g/

>"We migrated key functions from Windows to Linux because we needed an OS that was stable and reliable -..."
Linux is a kernel, it's not an OS
What they are using is GNU userland + the Linux kernel, which is short for GNU/Linux
>>52577471
I sure hope they aren't using GNU in space.
Do you believe the technology is ready for this kind of development?

>technology is ready
There is one decisive question about posiibility of this: isn't it haram? Damn you optimistic one.
>>52576513
well the tech is here now. What we're lacking is any reason to keep sending humans into space. There isn't a scientific one (unmanned probes are better at that) and there isn't an economic one (even for very rare things it's an order of magnitude cheaper to mine them on earth than from an asteroid)
so we could do it but it's pretty pointless
>>52576513
Tech has been ready since 60s. Our bodies are not and lack of economic profit is why we dont have moon bases yet.
What kind of mouse does /g/ use.
I use the Logitech g502
>>52576152
hey, me too!
>>52576168
I think its amazing
Oh boy this is gonna be a ride.
Literally.
or rather it would just stop like any collision detecting car does
Should a plane explode itself before it crashes into a building?
>>52575954
If a crash can't be avoided, the car should always aim to protect it's passengers.
If I'm paying thousands of dollars for a car, it better not try and kill me.
>Gaming on windows will never be this good
false

>>52575411
So that's at least three years out of date?
>>52575411
Jeez, what could some of these phones possibly be using 6-8 gigs for? That's like a full install of Windows.
>>52575430
well you have to install ubuntu, nsa-2016-edition, and then the unity app that acts as your phone dialer.......

give me questions to ask this legend
i was with a group that asked him some questions once. he basically told us to fuck off.
ask him if he thinks his being fat is 'socially responsible'
>>52575380
English mutha fucka, DO YOU SPEAK IT?
Why can't the GPL be as permissive as BSD? Is it because you hate freedom?
Where will you be when Zen humiliates Skylel?
>>52575293
Dead
Since it will take at least another 100 years+ for AMD to surpass Intel
>>52575330
Getting paid shekels to shill must be nice, where do I sign up?
Buying kaby lake to upgrade my 3770
In an age when you practically can't buy a non-16:9 display, how the fuck can't some developers comprehend the importance of vertical space?
>>52575162
looks fine to me. you might have developing OCD, OP.
I thought the exact same thing when I tried gnome
Got back to unity in no time
>>52575174
Unity is the exact fucking same anon.
>$2999
seriously, are any headphones worth that much?
>being this poor
>>52574984
If you want good music invest in headphones ;)
>>52574984
Are any watches worth even $1000?
Are any Versace's worth $2000?
Are any speaker systems worth $10'000?
Are any cars worth $2 million?
Did you refresh your thermal paste today?
No, because I don't have an Intel cpu.
>>52574520
MAD AMDEAD
>>52574520
amd cpus use thermal paste too anon
how long until terrorists can easily afford a self-driving car to carbomb?
What's stopping them from putting a brick on the gas pedal and aiming?
>>52574116
Who cares if it's a self-driving car or a flying drone or just a car.
The bombs are the problem, delivering them somewhere isn't a huge one. They could be using handcarts or rikshas with a bomb, and people would still die.
