"Wizardry Variants Daphne to the polls!"

I know exactly what you mean! I've been on i3 with every build at home for like a decade or something now and it's easily the most productive environment I can be in. Rarely change things in my config between machines so I end up just slapping the same dotfiles in first thing and I feel like I'm home.

Maybe I could, but I'm not using it for gaming so battery life, portability, and fan noise don't have to be sacrificed for a few more FPS when I wanna play something light on the road.

The Tim Taylor approach to hardware was great when I was a kid, less so in my 40s looking to do some moderate coding and radio projects on the road away from my massively overbuilt gaming rig I already own. This lil guy checks all those boxes. I was just wondering what specific hate there was on newer models.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I finally retired my old laptop for a ThinkPad X13 a few weeks ago and it's been perfect for my use case. Build quality is solid, battery life is alright, it's small and light, and everything worked out of the box with the preinstalled Ubuntu. After testing it all I slapped EndeavourOS in there and have had zero issues. Specs are solid and I got it for like $1200. Even the AMD integrated graphics are punching way above what I expected.

Just curious about what folks are complaining about with the newer Lenovo models.

RJD2 is the shit honestly.

It's the only real way to push back that other folks will notice if enough of us do it.

Last time I went through DC a few weeks ago they were using these. I saw a sign saying you're welcome to opt out. Nobody even questioned what they were doing and were just going along. When it was my turn I politely said I'd rather not do the scan. Dude just glanced at my ID and waved me through. The next few folks behind me blinked and said they didn't want the scan either. If enough people push back it can at least maybe slow down the normalization of constant surveillance.

You're on the greentext community...this is kind of expected.

I always thought it was funny the inspiring poem engraved on one of our most treasured national monuments was made by and sent by the French. We can't even fake it on our own 🙄

Last time I tried to engrave my seed on metal I got kicked out of the park.

You're describing a Steam Machine, and I guess they were just years ahead of their time. 🤷‍♂️
