This is the modem equivalent format for an ancient dirty joke. Back in the day kids you could find collections of them in printed books, and later, entire websites solely dedicated to hosting thousands of dirty jokes. They were presented in story format, often happening to your cousin’s friend.
Not saying no one had ever had this happen to them in the history of mankind. But this is also an old dirty joke that is probably more commonly repeated than acted out.
China managed to overbuild high speed rail, they got so good at it. Their whole system is built to incentive huge infrastructure projects. Which has been good, but now they’re getting way into the diminishing returns.
I asked chatgpt to write a go program for this, this looks roughly correct (I have used both libraries before) obviously this won’t be enough for your particular use case. I imagine you can integrate an RSS feed to your site, however if you’re using something like hugo perhaps output it as a csv.
I’m pretty sure the T440p is the newest one and it’s 2013. They messed up in the sense that modern Thinkpads are starting to solder components and overall the build quality is worse.
Maybe the build quality is a bit worse but it’s not bad. My x280 is doing great and I would absolutely not replace it with an older machine (even if that machine had a think light)
And I much rather have soldered components from 2018 (or something) than non soldered from a decade ago
But sure, there is nothing wrong with running old machines yourself. I just wouldn’t recommend it to people that ask for a laptop unless they specifically request it.
Repairability and upgradability are incredibly important factors, when my computer breaks why should I need to buy a new one? Heck why should it break at all, old computers were built to last.
I agree. I have even replaced the screen on my x280 to a IPS screen (because the old one was a crap TN screen) and the storage.
I wish newer machines were more repairable and I would buy a framework if I could afford it and if they had more ports. Fortunately most machines don’t break that often and very rarely is it in a part that couldn’t be replaced by a skilled technician (excluding some shitty products like Apple computers). Most business tier laptops like Lenovo ThinkPads and Dell Latitudes (5xxx and 7xxxx series at least) are fairly repairable and durable.
Upgradability is also great but doesn’t make a lot of sense to worry about when the machine is a decade old and still crap performance wise even if you gave it a few more GBs of RAM. You can’t really upgrade anything beyond storage and ram in any laptops unfortunately.
I wouldn’t consider a decade old computer no matter how repairable, durable, or how upgradable it is unless I worked exclusively in a TTY or some shit and I believe most feel the same way.
You do you, but I still don’t think it’s a good suggestion for someone that just needs a computer. Especially when they want good battery life and compactness. Neither of which computers that old are good at.
ah yes, the internet explorer/chrome/firefox but then firefox got better but then worse again/chrome/is internet explorer good now?/opera/operagx/Microsoft edge is actually fast now/back to opera effect
