Why haven't you fallen for the Thinkpad meme /g/? Pic related is my Thinkpad T470 running Elementary OS
>>107690546>>107690546>Why haven't you fallen for the Thinkpad meme /g/Because im not a gigantic retarded faggot do you even listen to yourself
>>107690546Because I don't need a laptop, especially a shit meme laptop.
>>107690546What can you do with older hardware?
>>107691022Install windows 95
>>107690546>Why haven't you fallen for the Thinkpad meme /g/We're at the point where Lenovo has removed the 7-row layout, swapped fn/ctrl, changed the lid shape, removed the roll-cage, removed socketed CPUs, removed the lid latch, started soldering memory, started soldering wifi, dropped the combination NVME/2.5" bay, and dropped RJ45. And every fucking step of the way, going right back to posting on /prog/, I've watched thinkpad posters go through the "old good, new bad (until it's cheap on ebay)" cycle annually.
Why doesnt /g/ just make their own ram?
>>107677544>>107689675"Empty" likely means no components but the footprints and solder points exist.DRAM packages are standardized per JEDEC specifications.You can design and order PCBs meant specifically for DDR4/DDR5 and solder any available DRAM
>>107677544This is viable if you are a neet with too much time but if you have a decent job the time it takes you to make these, you could buy 5 RAM sticks from the money you make.
>>107687787>omg muscovy developing its own RAM!!1Russians actually have some RAM chips production. But it stuck on DDR4 level.They have developed their own chips for DDR5 (DDR5 К1661PП1BЯ), but it's not in production yet.Actually while I was making this post, I've searched info on these chips. Turned out, they've used some RockChip chips instead of developing fully their own.
>>107677544> ram shortage happening> everyone suddenly wants to buy ramWhy does this always happen? Same with the GPU shortage. I haven't bought any RAM in years

When do you decide to buy a new laptop if you know the next year there will be a better one and the year afterwards an even better one? Why don't you wait next year for the better models? When do you put the cutout?When do you decide that "okay, the model this year is the one I'm buying and I will totally not regret my decision when newer models are released." Because it never ends.
>>107690007Buy a laptop when there's a meaningful improvement. The people who bought M1 Macbooks, for example, didn't regret it.Update only when you need to. If your laptop does everything you need, keep using it.
>AIEEE IF I DONT HAVE NEWEST NEW THING MR SHECKELSTIEN WILL STEAL MY FORESKIN!!!!not my problem, amerigolem
Buy a new laptop when:>your old one is broken>your old one is not fast enough for your current computer needsand if you are a consoomer>the new model represents a big spec (e.g. big jump in CPU performance) upgrade compared to last year's model
>>107690727Retarded take, if you use something every day or make money using it, you should spend enough to get something good.
>>107690007i buy one when i need one, and i dont bother buying one new or having anxiety about them being faster next year. in 2020 i had a thinkpad R60 with xp on it, everyone started pushing zoom and teams with lots of remote desktops, aws, etc that wasnt going to work with XP. I installed 7 but it was getting pretty slow and the battery finally died. I could have bought a new laptop right there in august of 2021, spent thousands of dollars, and be practically where i am now. I looked at a bunch of benchmarks, 8th gen was the first major performance increase since ivy bridge, 9th gen didnt do much, 10th gen was a bit better but also new and expensive. I bought a latitude 5400 for somewhere around $300 and this year web browsers are starting to lag on it a lot. I go look again, 11th gen, iris Xe, its attractive, but they're all quad cores, 12th gen is way better. I look at those laptops, and price out 13th gen too, 13th is significantly more expensive without being much faster, but in this case alone the 7640 is a much better chassis than a 7530, I'll be buying one i like for about $350-400 and use it for another 3-5 years. I can bitch about how its not my problem web developers are retards making needlessly bloated horse shit and be right all day and it wont fix my problem. computers are a subscription service and you have to weed through loads of shit to pay less

What is the /g/ consensus on password managers? How much safer are they to use than using a handful of "smart" passwords for everything?
>>107690654Using a password manager will not save you if computer is compromisedIt centralized all the data in a here:thing type way, if PC owned = fuckedGoal is to be "what a clusterfuck, fuck this" for anyone who does get into the systemThere is no better solution to passwords than either doing what i said or doing diceware and keeping it on pen and paper. For crypto specifically, I recommend a trezor that stays disconnectsd from any networked computer.
Option 1:>write down the passwords (safe against digital attacks)>leave a part of the password away (if your passwords get stolen, you have time to change them)Option 2:>Use Keepass (locally stored password manager, allowing you to make very diverse passwords)>use a keyfile in addition to your password (so it's harder to steal by keyloggers)
>>107690809>Option 1So I would make the password something like B00B13SThen leave out the prefix B1G
>>107690317the fact that this thread even exists here proves that no one on /g/ knows a single thing about cyber security
>>107690358>hosting it in some cloudso no syncing of passwords ?

why are so many programming "help" groups like this? like, somebody will specifically opt into helping people, and then get frustrated when they dont do exactly what they expect. it constantly feels like im testing everyone's patience whenever i ask for help and its even harder trying to just learn everything myself, especially considering all the weird semantic differences in both the language itself and guides.like i can imagine a full script in my head but i wouldnt know how to translate it into the language im currently using. and on the offchance that i *do* get the help needed, usually its just "oh just use the blah function", so its not like i just Dont Know How To Code or anything i just dont know the shit thats specific to the engine, and its not like i can just look it up in a glossary or something because the words can be totally different from language to language, like how "object" in one language can be "entity" in another, and object in *that* language refers to an object in an array or something, so theres just a huge language gap that i cant really cross without the help of others, which sucks because working with others sucks

Damn I now feel bad for bullying this dude on his HN blogposts. He looks like an actual autistic retard.
