It’s not released yet.

but even things such as phone thickness are announced in ml

Phone thickness in millilitres? I knew they have a hard time mixing metric with imperial but this is kind of ridiculous

I thought you were going to ask for better RISC-V support.

Does it have a trackpoint?

So about the wrist games

Is that a modern take on Action 52?

I think your issue has been fixed: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/22289253

There are different flavours of Ubuntu with the other desktop environments (called Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and so on). The posted screenshot is indeed a mishmash of Gnome and Xfce though.

The movie industry is killing movie piracy, as the age old saying goes

Shoot em up: Iridion 2
RPG: Mega Man Battle Network series
Racing: just Mario Kart Super Circuit lol

I guess they VC funding ran out

Don’t trust Secure Boot.

That’s the second best thing as long as you don’t worry about nation state actors (you’re fucked by then anyway). Only requirement is a board/laptop manufacturer with a proper uefi setup (eg ability to set your own keys, not using those “do not use” test keys, etc) - that usually comes with business machines.

Wasn’t as good, imo.

The first one was maybe weird because it was still setting itself up. The second one was indeed a filler and the worst of the series (but nowhere near MMBN4-level bad). The third one on the other hand is easily a masterpiece beating MMBN6.

I got dropped out from university. I got a Microsoft Azure Fundamental cert since then, now I’m a mixed Windows/Linux sysadmin at an SMB. YMMV, I’m in Europe btw.

The only thing I miss from XP is the classic lock screen where it had your wallpaper and a login window in the air

The upgrabability of this laptop does have one caveat, though. The bottom is a bother to remove, and most Youtube crap conveniently glosses over them. For one, some of the screws would get loose but not come out all the way. I eventually found the trick was to throw some pry tool under the screw head to hold it up so I could get it the rest of the way out. After they were all out, the bottom cover STILL wouldn’t budge. This too ended up being a matter of jamming a pick in one corner of the case and running another one to slowly pry up the bottom case on all sides. I lost a plastic tab or two in the process, but that doesn’t show up on the outside, and I think 24 GB of RAM (and 2 TB of NVME 2280 storage + 256 GB, the Windows drive that I left in the 2242 bay) will be plenty for a long time.

It’s an E series ThinkPad. They are a lot less durable than any other series - they are basically the Dell Vostro of ThinkPads. (Even Dell doesn’t consider the Vostro line business ready now)
For the next best thing for a slight price increase would be the L series which is a lot more bulky and durable (and more repairable in fact - you can’t replace a keyboard in an E) which still doesn’t come with the premium price of the T series.

I like your username

Doesn’t surprise me that a developer from Microsoft doesn’t understand this. To this day, when I select “Update and Shut Down” in Windows, it only actually shuts the computer down about half the time.

There are some tasks that only can be done when the majority of the system is not in use. Windows prepares the files, reboots, does its thing in a preboot environment, then it actually shuts down.

The forced day-night cycle timer perhaps?

Apparently they give 3 years of OS + 1 year of security updates now
