You can tell it's an old stock photo by the ratio of the monitor.

And windows vista

And Vista task bar

I had better MS Paint skills with Windows XP on a Pentium 4 256MB RAM machine.

my ThinkPad™ literally has gutters built into the keyboard to direct spilled liquids away from the circuitry. it also boots after i hit it with a hammer

[–] SapphironZA@lemmings.world 18 points 1 year ago

You know it comes with a power button that will also switch it on for you? /s

(un)fortunately, my thinkpad has a spillproof keyboard.

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I bet it isn't hydrofluoric acid spill proof

Pour it on yourself and you'll never have to work another day in your life

I drink a cocktail of HCl, fentanyl and bleach everyday. Can personally confirm.

Please don't spill HF anywhere that isn't specifically designed for it.

Just need a different liquid.

Hey boss , I worked so fast the computer overheated. Let's call it a day shall we?

[–] Bronco1676@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably not a valid excuse with M series macbooks :(

That's what this picture was advertising.

Nothing an "accidental" fall can't solve

I'm just imagining having a bad day at work and then pushing my PC off my desk at noon on a Friday, calling IT and punching out.

I mean I am IT, but still.

The world of networking is full of accidents waiting to happen.

What if i have a Thinkpad X220?

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

Have you ever read that Wikipedia article, Timeline of the Far Future? "Median half-life of the ThinkPad X220" is listed between "The Sun reaches the top of the red-giant branch of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram" and "the Moon spirals below Earth's Roche limit, breaking into a ring of debris".

Fret not, dear User! For I as the IT admin will happily pour water directly into the parts that matter.

[–] 567PrimeMover@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

When people mention watercooling is this what they mean

[–] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

By pouring water over a laptop that's been forgotten in a corner of the basement for 20 years?

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Anyone know if this actually does anything to modern laptops? I can't think of a single computer I've used that didn't have drainage in the keyboard.

[–] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do you exclusively use Thinkpads?

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I guess so. Macbooks brick if the air has too much moisture. This guy has never seen a MacBook then

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I have a Thinkpad and some weird ass dell or something but IIRC they have some holes with a water drop shape embossed nearby. The rest are desktop keyboards.

What? How old are you?
