I have a computer, now. Like, a real one.
It's... geez. Never had such a nice computer.🙈

Everyone in the house is like... OMG.

I made an unboxing video, for the lulz, but then I realized that I'm sitting on my bed in my nightgown and you can see me in the screen and it was like whoa TMI nevermind.

So, here's a fuzzy still. 😂


Ohh sadge, i like unboxing video. I'm thinking of buying a thinkpad 🤔 Maybe a used one


Aw, too bad you noticed...
I coulda bolstered my "Dev Gal Pinup" collection...😜😆😂🤣🥰💜🫂💖😁


It feels so nice. 😂 Like a new car. Carbon.


I haven't even tried to turn it on, yet. Just excited to carry it around and rub it like a magic lamp. 🤣🤣


Which model is ?


X1 Carbon with i7 core


Good for you! You must really feel the difference


#OnlyNips


I can see from the red nipple that it's a real computer. Congrats!


I'm afraid to turn it on. Just keep walking around with it, like a housepet. 🤦🏻♀


You literally just got it then. Enjoy 😂😂


imagining the fuzzyness


Thank you, nostr:npub1ak68qfcjj7k95c0jwleu69x72nr8adwv6g80pkwl9xlps6zmkqzqrxy8fx
I will build cool stuff with it. 🙏🏻

First thing I do, I run Primal and Docker simultaneously. 😂


Yeah. You know it's a nice computer when you just walk around with it closed and everyone is like FR? 👀


shiny new tech is a nice feeling


If you are into GNU/Linux, Fedora runs really well on ThinkPads in my experience.


i am getting a nice 144hz 15,6" IPS display today... i decided it would help my workflow a lot to put all the "fun" stuff on it and let me use the whole of my two 2k displays for work... looking forward to playing games on it because this video card will almost max out on the framerate, and it will be nice and bright for videos

maybe later on will be fun to try and make a 2d GUI that maxes out the 144 frames per second too

oh yeah, you would not have loved my lenovo ideapad 3 tho

endless hassles with the USB... adequate otherwise but that's a real deal breaker for me with my mech keyboard


looks like my T420 which is a beast under the hood. Good thing is, no one will bother stealing it because it looks so "old"


what will your 3 wishes be


seems old and cheap. buy yourself a nice mac with a M2/M3 chip


Good thinkpads, they are awesome, I have an old x230 that is amazing


your glee spreads to me/happy 4 U


Okay, finally got the courage to login and tackle the American keyboard.
Written from my new computer. 😊  Runs so smooth.

Yes, even Primal.


LOL


Debian is on it and seems pretty good, so far.


Yeah, need USB.


yeah, i hate that thing, i should try to sell it for parts, i'm sure most of it is good


Wikifreedia, Highlighter, and Coracle. Simultaneously. Works. No lag, at all.


But Wikifreedia is annoying to log into, with everything getting shifted off the bottom of the screen because of the Categories at the top.


Yeah, this is Gen 6.  The carbon is 🔥


Yeah... like... industrial. You could drive a tank over that thing. And thin and silent.


how does a fake computer look like?


X1 Carbons have a really good feel. Gen 10 could be order pre-loaded with Linux, but not Gen 11. Can Gen 12 be order w/Linux?


My old one. It looks like a computer, but doesn't actually do anything.


Is that red dot 🔴 on the B something special? Reminds me of my old computer from years ago.


it's a mouse trackball. it's a signature button on the ibm thinkpad / lenovo thinkpad.


Thanks 🙏 friend.

My well seasoned self couldn’t remember.
Brain fried a bit 🤣🙏🫂


No idea. This is Gen 6.


And its resale value is still higher than the new computer I was going to buy.
Understandable, when you use it.


Like trying to watch porn through the scramble, back in the 90s.


i want to check Wikifreedia and Highlighter these out. a friend wants to make a "Zine" so I'm looking for platforms that might work.


Highlighter would be the appropriate one.


Nice to see you so happy!


nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft could maybe help you figure out the best format. There's post scheduling and stuff.


>Yes, even Primal.
You're lying


Well, it loads without the gan whirring. Didn't try to actually do anything with it because of all the bugs. 😂


I've had mine for 6 years. The speakers are terrible, but other than that it will probably last me another 10 years. Try playing some video games though just to see if it overheats. Tuxkart is a good candidate. I had to repaste my CPU because they over pasted it at the factory and it overheated easily. A little liquid metal paste and I can game on it now. Not that I do, but I could if I wanted.


I don't play computer games. 🤷♀


Primal and Docker are the hardest challenges I pose.


The only point of the exercise is to test if it has thermal issues. Can be a problem if you are crunching prime numbers as well 😃
