[01:46] DaemonFC Yeah, the bargain basement ones don't. The idea is pressuring people to use Google Drive. [01:47] DaemonFC Razors and blades. [01:48] DaemonFC 32 tends to be enough for the OS, disk cache, and a few files. [01:48] arkanian there are a bunch of shitty windows 32gb laptops too [01:50] DaemonFC Yeah, but it's Windows so it barely rus even before you open a browser. [01:50] arkanian lol [01:50] DaemonFC And then you can't upgrade the OS because the OS took nearly all the space even after they trimmed it. [01:51] arkanian i think a refurbished thinkpad beats any chromebook [01:51] DaemonFC We removed the calculator and all you got was this shitty error screen. Thank you for buying the HP Stream and come again! [01:52] DaemonFC Probabbly not. [01:52] DaemonFC Besides, you can just put ChromeOS Flex on an older laptop if you want.

[01:53] DaemonFC It wouldn't have anything to do with Lenovo stock being down like 70%. [01:55] DaemonFC Google's partners buy Celerons for like $10 and stuff em in there. [01:55] DaemonFC But it's enough for Linux and Chrome. [01:56] DaemonFC I have to admit that the $129 + 3% rebate from AmEx is tempting me greatly to just buy a Dell. [01:56] DaemonFC Lenovo wishes that they were Dell. Lenovo's got the worst system firmware I think I've ever seen. [01:57] DaemonFC And on consooomer stuff they never update it even for security holes, and if you do get updates on the professional stuff, then you can brick Windows or the main board by installing them. [01:57] DaemonFC Bad stuff. [01:58] MinceR there are refurbished thinkpad chromebooks ● Feb 22 [02:10] psydruid the new "Celerons" (N100 and friends) aren't even that slow anymore, so they've resorted to gimping the hardware in other ways [02:18] DaemonFC Yeah, I noticed that Dell decided that if you don't think an i7 that's 7% faster than the i5 is worth it, you also have to downgrade to 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD. [02:18] DaemonFC I think the obvious corner to cut would be busting Windows 11 Pro downn to Home to ave $50 since it'll be formatted off to install Linux anyway. [02:20] DaemonFC I think it would actually work out better since while you're stabbing Windows to death, Buttlocker won't show up and go STOP IT STOP IT!!!

Even the slow stuff is fast now. [03:00] DaemonFC The only way to sell new chips is to make Windows bigger and fatter so it slows the computers down as fast as they speed up. [03:01] DaemonFC I will give Microsoft this. It's amazing that they have a 40 year unbroken streak of that. [03:04] DaemonFC This Yoga 900 ISK2 laptop was a lot easier to work on than the Thinkbook 15 ITL Gen2 though. [03:04] DaemonFC It just comes right apart like a sandwich. [03:05] DaemonFC This is its second keyboard and battery. [03:05] DaemonFC They sell replacement batteries from China. You don't need to pay $200 to Lenovo. They're $35 from China. [03:05] DaemonFC They work fine. [03:06] DaemonFC Lenovo just makes all the replacement parts cost so much that you use the thing until it has so many problems that buying a new one is cheaper.

And Pentium III is not a slow CPU, those graphical programs would work just fine if the library developers weren't assholes [23:10] DaemonFC There's a big difference between dropping a Pentium 3 and dropping CPUs as recent as 2015. [23:11] DaemonFC Moving to x86-64-v3 as a baseline should be considered, maybe, in 2030. [23:11] DaemonFC By the time you do it, the affected hardware should be <2% of the remaining users. [23:12] MinceR will there be an x86_64-v3 without IME but with power management in 2030? [23:15] DaemonFC Power management on x86 is always questionable.

The Democrats just gave up on law enforcement so it's the same thing really. [23:23] DaemonFC JWZ, typical leftist nut, blames a "SFPD work stoppage" for police citations going down while crime and bloght go up. [23:23] DaemonFC But really, the cops aren't going to touch this stuff when it means if someone attacks them, the police may be on trial.

[23:43] DaemonFC If the doctor can't figure out born a male always a male I need a new doctor anyway. [23:43] DaemonFC Because they've replaced their biology and anatomy lessons with liberal trash. [23:45] DaemonFC What you've got with a person born male who is now a female is a legal fiction and some plastic surgery and unnatural hormones that they have to take every day. They are the ultimate consumer though. They have the earnings potential of a man, the cosmetics and hair and fingernail budget of a woman, and the medical bills of a person who is terminally ill.
