>>106972734>>106972757If they were 2-in-1s id suspect an animal chewing them in tablet mode, but that's really strange being on the inside and bottom/near hinge. And even stranger you're saying there are several of them like this.

>>106970524>x61 for 70 bucksIf you care about installing a free firmware, I've seen x60 motherboards (assuming the model is an x61 and not an x61s) sell for ~$20. >I’m rather new to vintage computing >I just want to use it for light browsing and YouTubeDo yourself a favor and just stick with your T480. I have an x60, and although I used to use it as my main shitposting toaster back then, it's really nothing more than a novelty these days--the 4:3 aspect ratio is cool, except when it isn't. YouTube is slow as fuck and the screen to honestly too small sometimes. If you're dead-set on buying e-waste, you'll need to install an SSD and upgrade the wifi card so that it doesn't cook your balls. The CCFL backlight might be dim too, so you'll probably want to replace that and the TN panel with that of an x61t. Just stick with your T480 and libreboot it. It's not entirely functional yet, so be wary. Most people would recommend you buy an X230 instead, but a T480 is good for longevity I think. >>106974355See above. Also, I don't remember if it was the T60 or T61 that has the dGPU, but it shits itself pretty often. >>106974439Kapton tape maybe?>>106972734Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Some of the reactions to the original iPhone announcement in 2007, compiled from an old web forum.What were your thoughts when Jobs announced the Civilization Destroyer 9000?
>>106977586people back then are the same as people now everyone just hates apple for literally no reason anyway I was only 2 then so I didnt have any thoughts about it
>>106977586>too tiny for websurfing>too space-constrained for a video player>looks awfully fragile>is this a touchscreen :(All true, even to this day
>>106978344Decent bait lol
>>106978432>All true, even to this dayNah, the OG iPhone was a bit small, but there's no reason to go any bigger than an iPhone 4. The issue nowadays is that they're too big and heavy
>>106977586Why did they miss the fact that it didn't have a way to install apps and you were supposed to use the browser for that??

>>106977880but isn't mint using a lot of closed sourced software for its support?
>>106978400Depends on your hardware drivers needed, I use a proprietary Nvidia driver. But nothing stops you from using open source xorg driver
>>106978498isee.does it still use the apt/dpkg package manager? (does it install .deb files from the terminal)or do i need to learn a new system all together?
>>106978400You can download a LiveCD or USB key to try it out if you have that capability (a USB key that's 8 GB or above or a DVD burner still). It won't actually install on your system's drive unless you download that ISO install version.

Japan is BASED
>>106974941Their population's birthrate is below replacement, so the average age is increasing with every passing year, the point of Korean, Chinese, and swarthy immigrants is to make up for the shrinking number of youth in the native populationSand people have nothing to do with anything, schi/x/oid.
>>106978180mass immigration is proven to not even budge TFRkill you are self
>>106978180>Their population's birthrate is below replacementSo? Just let the population naturally retract gracefully.>but muh economyJapan's economy is fucked and needs a reset on an institutional level.
>>106977100Japan is so peaceful they actually hunto down people uploading spoilers and ban people taking screenshots on their phone from manga apps, I might have the chance to go live in Japan, but man I cant imagine livng without my god given right to download anime and not give money to crunchyroll
>>106978180Japan birthrate is actually now stable according to new studies, S Korea and Spain and are actually the worst ones now, Japan just has a shiton of old people,the entire world has a inverted pyramid with old people now ruling over 4-5 generations and not letting go of power, Japan will invert this pyramid first than everyone else apparently, as long as they escape the next 10-15 years of western bs, I can see Japan actually giving us the promised cool cyberpunk era

How come they are in an endless loop of fixing and breaking shit?KDE 5 last minor was perfect, no bugs, smooth, fastKDE 6 was completely brokenThe last KDE update was also smooth and good enoughThe latest one is full of BUGS AGAIN, why do we have to wait for 15 patch updates to have a stable desktop again just for it to go downhill the next minor?
>>106977684mainstream support ended a year ago, so strictly security updates forward. yet no issues and i use this as a desktop doing anything you can imagine including some multiplayer games with anticheatsi'll switch over to 2022 when i make a whole new build, this just works so well and i have everything set up just how i like it. heard 2022 has been somewhat flimsy in regards to its updates so its best to wait until it leaves mainstream support
>>106977684>>106977801>i'll switch over to 2022 when i make a whole new buildwith a pre-2021 CPU that is. everything turned to shit after that anyway.
>>106977794Gnome is equally retarded, just in the opposite direction.Here's one for you - If an application wants to open a terminal, like for managing a wine prefix in Lutris, Gnome only accepts a HARDCODED predefined list of terminal apps that can be called. Only way to load up a different terminal with error is to fucking symlink and spoof the one you want to use as one of the 'approved' ones.There's pushing 'usecases', and then there's refusing to comprehend the Halting Problem and that you can't predict every legitimate use case. At least KDE gives you configurability to work around things easily.
>>106978052>predefined list of terminal apps that can be called.yes, GNOME is designed to be predictable, that is why is more stable.
>>106978217Design intent and actual execution are two very different things unfortunately
Why have small tablets basically died out? 12 years ago we had stuff like the Nexus 7 and it was great.Nowadays only Apple makes a decently usable small (8 inches or below) tablet, all Android ones have terrible displays and weak specs in general.
>>106971210because all phones are big now
>>106971314>. It's the best form factor for watching stuff lying on the side in your bed. PTV? Laptop? stupid nigger
>>106971210They peaked with the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0" in 2015.>crisp 320ppi AMOLED HD display>3GB RAM, which is still usable with most apps if you aren't into gaming (I recommend flashing LineageOS and buying the SM-T810 model)>lightweight and thin, but has a battery that can be replaced fairly easily and cheap on eBay>and speaking of cheap, you can buy one of these for 30-50 bucks usedI mean, if you're looking for something that can handle more graphically-intense apps or games, I wouldn't recommend this tablet. I don't know how well a 2015-era Snapdragon would handle with those.But, if you're into using this for media like watching youtube, reading books, or web browsing, it's buttery smooth. I've suggested this tablet for those who just want to use it for basic things and not spend so much, and it's OLED. (most small tablets today are LCD)
>>106974436>buying the SM-T810 modelBrainfart. I meant to say SM-T713 model, not the T810.
>>106971210Big phones.Isn't that a 7 inch pixel tablet? One of the first?Nowadays phones are as big as that.>>106971254>They were much more popular in the pastThey weren't popular.Companies tried to market them, hence the extra publicity and media presence, but ultimately failed and they basically disappeared.

I refuse to write in assembly unless it's PDP-11 and I haven't found any computers with the PDP-11 instruction set yet.
>>106976245There's like 0 (zero) usecase for asm except for a few parts of a kernel development

>>106976245which version of assembly is this?x86??nasm?intel?linux?meme?there's so many languages and no standard to tard wrangle them in.the one job the government has, which is to set standards and ensure its regulation, it doesn't do.

>>106969156It "just werked" until it was intentionally sabotaged with shit no one wants like snapdebian just werkz tho
>>106977713brown ubuntu best ubuntu. 7.10 i think was the version that had all the rage inducing standard user directries which started the downfall.
>>106977713It's conceptually involved for not much payoff.
>>106966249if you cut off your legs in order to justify using a wheelchair, you've effectively crippled yourself for no valid reason.they didn't need to cripple themselves by becoming dependent on architecture that they needn't be, but being the retarded geniuses, they did.part of the standard of ye' olde linux was in making the adopted medium to change in order to be assymilated, but instead nulinux is the one that changed, becoming an abomination.i will never forgive ubuntu and all the other shitty distros for adopting bad coding and architecture engineering designs, just to appease the tranny coders.NEVAR!!!
