A Motherboard has too many individual components that could fail and your OS will still be running “normally”. Is not like, for example, an electrill drill which has a motor and gears, if the motor burns or the gears strip, is dead.

It won’t take too long for them to invent the porn machine.

Nah, we elected the first timeline Marty’s Dad and Biff is the head of DOGE.

I thought #3 was the waiter, or the valet parking.

Like a 5 year old reading cyrilic.

That, and the Bermuda triangle.

Child’s Play

At this point the only real choice of operating systems for people who want full control over their computer are Linux distributions.

I couldn’t agree more with you, and the same can be said about most consumer devices. If you want a full control over any device, you are gonna get the best experience flashing a custom firmware. But manufacturers don’t like it, they lose the telemetry data and revenue so they do their best to impede that.

AOSP is better but only if you’re a dev

AOSP is the way android phones should be sold, and to have the option to escalate privileges in a terminal, so you can actually do some work without relying on Google Play Services + a 200MB app to send a file to your laptop. The custom vendor images should be something people can opt in to get a vendor locked dumbed down experience.

Who doesn’t love a good 'ol fish hash? Extra baked.

My ssd is sda (with a sda1 boot partition and an encrypted root partition).

That’s because is a SATA SSD.

Conclusion: Gen Z/Alpha probrally wont be great at computers but there will probrally be many individuals who will be significantly more advanced at computers.

Yeah, I’m Gen Z as well and watching people use Google without knowing what to put in the search box drives me nuts, but that’s why they pay for me so…

I remember telling my dad “Computers aren’t that hard. You just need to read what is the thing saying” and most people won’t even read, let alone comprehend.

The Thinkpad also has access to a game library of (checks notes) almost every single game ever made excluding mainly AAA titles from the 2010s onward.

The same can be said of (Checks notes) a console with a Custom Firmware, plus a cheap TV brand new is around 90 dollars. The thinkpad is only good to play retro games or non demanding titles, also the experience of playing in a 14" display with laptop keyboard and a PS/2 trackpad sucks.

A brand new T490 was over 900 bucks retail depending on the specs, and a used one is still less cost effective than, let’s say, a used PS3 or PS4…

I can’t stop reading it as equis de (the Spanish pronunciation)

The solution is to own land to live off of it I guess?

You forgot the 3rd panel: exploit people.

Imagine my mixed emotions when I’ve been doing ‘ls -la’ since I remember and watch someone do ‘ls -al’.

Hell yes you can! Even triple boot with multiple distros or Wheendoes.

Its better to use a Hackintosh. I do for Sideloadly

Also for whoever is curious, there’s 100G QSFP28 which has breakdown cables to 4x 25G SFP28, I’m not a networks guy but I think at that point it’s not Ethernet anymore but InfiniBand.

Yeah they would need a breakout cable. And there’s no way in hell they can have a link of 40G via SFP+ to a 10G appliance.
