THESE THINGS ARE SO FUCKING SHIT WHY DO THEY STILL EXIST THEY SUCK FUCKING ASS I HATE THEM ALL SHIT ALL OF THEM AND THEY ARE SOMEHOW WORSE NOW THAN 10 YEARS AGO FUCK LAPTOPS
>>108671787i have a theory that laptop induce depression into people who use them daily, they're ergonomical nightmare, using these things can't be good for your health.the only way to make laptop usable is to use them like a desktop with a dock and external monitor with real kb/mouse.
>>108671787Well... it's virtually impossible to find one which fulfills all my requirements. ECC Support and thusAMD, ARM OR Intel Xeon OLED (glossy, needless to say) or a very good glossy LCDCoreBootKeyboard Light Repair-abilitySchematics available
>>108671787I will go back to laptops because i failed at building my pc (idk why)I just wanted a powerful itx...
>>108671844Why do you need ECC in a laptop?Regardless, the closest you'll ever get (at least in terms of currently available laptops) is a Framework. Even that doesn't check most of the boxes though.
>>108671857>I just wanted a powerful itx...How'd you manage to fuck it up? Here's my ITX PC btw
>>108671869Because I work with sensitive code bases controlling industrial chemical reactors. We use formally verified software for our microcontrollers. I occasionally work from home or on trains using my own hardware.Even a single bit flip occurring down the pipeline to a plant's embedded control units is intolerable. Framework's are about to get coreboot, so there is some progress.
>>108671916Probably the first person on /g/ bitching about ECC who actually has a valid reason for it, congrats.As for the coreboot situation, I think there's already a barebones port for the Ryzen 7040 series 13in motherboard, but I don't know if anyone has tried using it.
finnally someone else said it. Desktop/tablet combo is best
>>108671916>Even a single bit flip occurring down the pipeline to a plant's embedded control units is intolerable.>but I can still, like, work from a train with a very unstable connection that loses half the packages along the way>and most importantly this device that I use for very static image better have a GLOSSY OLED SCREEN>because I can't live without having that ambient light in a public place making half the screen unreadable and the other half burned in already>I don't understand why the market doesn't cater to my needs!
>>108672654>but I can still, like, work from a train with a very unstable connection that loses half the packages along the wayMy statement didn't imply I would remotely flash something via a wireless connection while I am on a train.That's in fact, by design not possible. Glossy screen reflection's never bothered me that much. There is a trade off here between working during the day and potentially being at a hotel at evening and wanting to enjoy some private entertainment with great image quality. I am not going to carry around two laptops =)
>>108671787x1 carbon poster hereget rekt
>>108671787I was like that too, but once you're forced to get your shit together, they become too convenient again.Its portability play a massive role for productivy when studying, being able to move around beats being stuck in a single place the entire time.Also no publicly computers at my fire department, and I will often have plenty of free time, being able to take one with me lets me keep studying, or I will spend some free time playing games or watching anime too.>just use your phonePhones absolutely suck for that and I'm tired of pretending otherwise, BUT, I will still use mine when I don't have access to my laptop.
>>108671857i genuinely cant imagine being this retarded. https://youtu.be/nxKhpr041-M
>>108671787You have to spend an arm and a leg, and even then they're only really good for shitposting in bed, or watching videos while cooking.
>>108671787Same. Have had five or six throughout my life, all of them died on me after a few years of light use. Fuck them. As soon as the current piece of shit I have breaks in half due to hinge damage I am done buying new. I will just get a used chinkpad or some shit like that
>>108672769>potentially being at a hotel at evening and wanting to enjoy some private entertainment with great image quality.strong German pornography, got it.
>>108672367tablet is the true meme, i fell for it twiceliterally the worst of both worlds
>>108671820>using these things can't be good for your health.I agree. I only have a laptop, and it is awful. I put it on a fixed table and use it as a desktop computer, with a keyboard and mouse
>>108671787Laptops are for people that are into tech-dom
>>108672862>>108672882>they were STILL purchasing new laptops in the [Current Year] of our Lordyou only have yourself to blame, not the system
>>108672862just buy someone used laptop nevermind all the cum on it that'll soon be replaced with your cum
>>108672979You do you but no thx, I am asexual.
>>108671787I have an Apple MacBook Pro, I like it!
some colleagues don't hook up their work laptops to the monitors and it hurts my brain
>>108671879killed my PC todaymy PC was running slow, so i went into System and saw only 16GB of RAM when i knew i had 32, so i open it up and reached in to feel the two RAM to see if they were secure, then i pull one out while the PC was still powered on, and then i pushed it back into place. now the PC just blinks yellow and nothing displays on the monitor.
>>108673549...Anon, have you considered that you might be retarded?Anyway I would pull the CMOS battery (with the system UNPLUGGED) to see if you can revive it.
>>108673599thanks i will try that. u give me hope, & i appreciate it, as a new PC is expensive these days
>>108671787oh goody a boomer threadi only buy used bare-minimum spec laptops and mainly use them when i want to work outside of the house, only retards buy new. if you use tmux or tiling wm they're great for programming but not much else
>>108673037>t. illiterate (doesn't read)
>go through laptops every 2-3 years>buy an M1 MBA in 2020 or whenever they came out>still using itliterally take the macpill
Got this cute thicc girl arriving in 2 days to replace my dead stinkpad.The big laptop redpill is to never buy new, especially not high-ish end workstations (the only ones worth bothering with t b h), since they are always obscenely expensive when new.
>>108671787>NEET who never leaves the house can't understand why laptops existslol
>>108673345Ah, an evolutionary dead end.
>>108673249It's just like buying a used car
>>108671787>THESE THINGS ARE SO FUCKING SHIT >WHY DO THEY STILL EXIST >THEY SUCK FUCKING ASS I HATE THEM ALL SHIT ALL OF THEM AND THEY ARE SOMEHOW WORSE NOW THAN 10 YEARS AGO >>FUCK LAPTOPS
Dunno, my laptop is 10 years old and still serves me well, I guess i love laptops
>>108671787Unironically underclock it by 150-200MHz and all of your problems will be solved
ahemshould have bought a macbook
>>108671787meds schizo.
what I hate about laptops is this:>Acer Predator 18" laptop>has turbo button to change clock modes>button only works with a special .exe softwareIf I install Ubuntu, I lose access to power modes where I can easily underclock the laptop to make it run cooler during browsing sessions, but go turbo for machine learning sessions or gaming sessions.So I want to switch to Linux but cant because of proprietary Acer software which im not sure exists for Linux.
>>108671916>working on chemical reactor PLCs on the trainwtf
>>108671787Why?I just use these as thin client.
>>108671820And phones are better?
>>108671787I agree, I just don't sperg out about it.t. Posting this from one of the laptops on OP pic related

>>108671916why the fuck are you doing that in transit?
>>108671787If you sit them on your lap they are not comfy at all and become too hot fast.Basically they failed.
>>108674622>what I hate about laptops>proprietary Acer softwareA sane person would be hating Acer instead of the concept of laptops.
>>108671787Smartphones made them more or less redundant as anything but a temporary desktop. Why sit on your sofa with an awkward laptop when you can just doomscroll on your phone?
>>108671787I exist laptop wise purely on dell precsion m4800s that I have upgraded over the years
>>108676434the cheapest way to get recent cpus, nvmes and ddr5 memory for desktops is cheap used acers
>>108671787>"Here grandson, my laptop has a broken keyboard so I bought a new one. You can have the broken one for free.">mfw free fileserver
>>108671916How do I get this job
>>108672367the only use case I found for tablets is playing free gacha gamesno I can't be bothered with waydroid
>>108671787Laptops are comfy, you can bring one to a cafe and open a daw or some shit to impress the normies and get pussy
>>108673549Pull all modules, repopulate 1 by 1 to see if the machine boots. If board is alive it may beep at you about some shit or another. If no beep, you dun goofed.
>>108674047Based. Dell Precision 7000 series are my favorite chassis. I use a trash pile rescue 7530 as a personal machine and a 7680 as my work machine. Fast, cool, quiet, stronk. Fat workstations are the way to go.
>>108671787I haven’t owned a desktop since 2005
>>108672769>My statement didn't imply I would remotely flash something via a wireless connection while I am on a train.So it gets formally verified once you're in the office. You don't need ECC.
>>108674047>>108680592I have the 7760. The GPU shorted out and spewed fire from the back. The motherboard then died shortly after they replaced the GPU. Now the right fan needs to be replaced because the bearing is bad or something.
I'm never paying 4,500$ for a laptop. Not ever.
>>108673249My grandma bought me a used thinkpad T42 I think from a pawn shop in like 2004 and it was loaded with porn of black men. It apparently belonged to some black woman because her tax records was still on it. What a weird experience that was. I still have it but it hasn't been charged or turned on in like 17 years.
>>108674047love my latitude 7280got it for $10 barebones from an ewaste recycler, nobody wants them because the low power cpu runs like shit with modern windows updatemeanwhile apple spent a decade selling underpowered garbage so macos runs fine on it
>>108671820laptops are crucial for when you want to put on airs and bring a laptop to the starbucks.Once time i went to a starbucks in nyc and it was kinda of cramped and narrow. Looking at the muted industrial themed room, I saw people sipping 10 dollar coffees, while pecking at 2,000 USD laptops and 1,000 dollar watches and phones. Suddenly, a guy enters the starbucks, makes an order then proceeds to grab and dash what is unguarded.3 laptops, 5 phones. The items where unattended on the butcher block styled industrial looking tables. Guy runs out of the coffee shop with 10, 000 USD worth of goods. here is what is funny: the guy on his way out piclks up his lattee, takes a sip, thanks the barista for a fine cup of coffee then leaves without further comment..I remember thinking it looked like quintin taratino movir scene. The coffee was good there innyc because the water is soft what ever that means.Honestly for writing on the go, I use google docs on pixel.
