the device is too large for a mobile workstation

I’ve seen up to 19 inch laptops, so I don’t understand that.

Guess we’ll see then.

I don’t really see the point of the FD with how standard ATX Desktops exist, to be honest

Wouldn’t call it up to date, but that’s fair. I just hoped they would focus more on things like the FL16 instead of making stuff like the FD (which has barely even launched and is already flopping).

I don’t remember there being a generation between 7000 and HX 300.

Yeah, I get that, but shouldn’t they have focused on making the existing products live up to their promise of upgradeability before releasing new SKUs?

You could look at some more used ThinkPad options like a T470 or a T480. They can often be found for cheap refurbished on eBay. I would also take a look at online benchmarks to see what fits your requirements. In my experience, that works better than looking at spec sheets.

A T480 is about 500 euros, just as much as a T14, but with a worse CPU.

Pandabase isnt OSS but its pretty great from what ive seen.

Well, for one example: Kissinger approved Operation Menu, which is estimated to have a death toll of at least 100.000 civilians, and this is just ONE operation. Operation Condor, an anti leftist repression campaign in the Americas, has an estimated count of 80.000 killed and 400.000 political prisoners. These are just specific cases: the “knife wounds” amongst the “amputated limbs” for an analogy.

How many millions died under Kissinger, Truman, McCarthy?

“liberal” lmfao no fuck the bourgeoisie I just grew up with grammar nazis

political shitpositing, context of this shitpost is I. fact political

well this is politics… semantics matter, “tankies” (whatever that term means anymore) are right about a lot of things, sure, but theyre no prophets.

no one is right about absolutely everything

when you see the world in black and white:

Are you alright? Is everything okay at home? Trying to hurt random people on the internet seems like a bad coping mechanism.

gambling is rigged

emphasis on the soldiers part but alright

plus, in war casualties are what matters. I’m only looking at this from a strategic perspective, not a humanitarian one.

Not “lots of”, more Russian soldiers died than Ukrainians, as is typical for this conflict.

UPDATE (putting this in a separate reply so you’ll see it): So I just dusted the laptop again, it actually performs somewhat well, turns out my first pass where I also changed the thermal paste didn’t get all the dust.

EDIT: This probably won’t hold, I’ve been seeing some γαμάτα deals for newer ThinkPads here lately.
