>>107563812because the discs rot

>>107565527Are you fucking serious? Hdds as long as they dont turn they last a life time. I have dozens of old hdds dating from 10-15 years before, even older. As long as you don't keep them hooked up they just stay cold and stable

What Thinkpad should I get if I'm basically just looking for a very cheap writing laptop? It basically just needs to be able to run windows, scrivener, and the choicescript IDE. I'd like to get something that's like $200 or lower but if I have to go higher I will. Battery life is somewhat important, internet access is not. I have a main computer elsewhere but I need a cheap laptop for the shitty apartment I'm moving into.
>>107578258You can find cheap thinkpads from 5 gen ago at ebay.
Any Thinkpad niggers here tried out the Legion series?
>>107578622NoIs your pic a 13-14 inch machine?Looks pretty nice in that case.
>>107578258T470, T490 or T14G1.Make sure it's an IPS panel and ask the seller about the battery condition.

All this AI shit is turning me into a fucking boomer. I just wanna browse weird list sites while playing Flash games and you had more stuff like notpron. I want to experience the web, not read summaries and get everything fed to me because productivity or something. It's even making me hate other technology.

>https://old.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/1po71o6/a_florida_international_university_professor/Is anyone else pissed watching this? I am not even a zoomer, I graduated 10 years ago. All the RDBMS modelling stuff I learned was wasted time. It was always senior architects designing microservices and databases, not engineers. By the time you become a senior you will have forgotten everything from that class long ago. Them kids just want to get their degree and get the foot in the door working with some WebDev framework ASAP before AI obliterates whatever junior positions are still left, if any. They know they are FUCKED when they get into the job market, who can blame them for not being motivated to study? Why does that dick who graduated before AI/outsourcing get so personal? He even complains about simple spelling mistakes which only indicate that some of the students did not (only) use LLMs.
