You can tell it's an old stock photo by the ratio of the monitor.

I had better MS Paint skills with Windows XP on a Pentium 4 256MB RAM machine.

my ThinkPad™ literally has gutters built into the keyboard to direct spilled liquids away from the circuitry. it also boots after i hit it with a hammer

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago

You know it comes with a power button that will also switch it on for you? /s

(un)fortunately, my thinkpad has a spillproof keyboard.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I bet it isn't hydrofluoric acid spill proof

Pour it on yourself and you'll never have to work another day in your life

I drink a cocktail of HCl, fentanyl and bleach everyday. Can personally confirm.

Please don't spill HF anywhere that isn't specifically designed for it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just need a different liquid.

Hey boss , I worked so fast the computer overheated. Let's call it a day shall we?

Probably not a valid excuse with M series macbooks :(

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Kidding aside, the M series is incredible with how cool and queit it is. It’s a laptop you can actually put on your lap.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Yes it still gets warm fairly often for me, but not first degree burn warm

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah it’s pretty clear Apple took their knowledge of building mobile processors since the A6, which is really the first iPhone processor they made in house. Then they probably poached a bunch of people from intel or amd and grabbed a few of their PowerPC vets and here we are. Love or hate Apple, the M series is great for processor competition because it is a great processor line

That's what this picture was advertising.

Nothing an "accidental" fall can't solve

I'm just imagining having a bad day at work and then pushing my PC off my desk at noon on a Friday, calling IT and punching out.

I mean I am IT, but still.

The world of networking is full of accidents waiting to happen.

What if i have a Thinkpad X220?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Have you ever read that Wikipedia article, Timeline of the Far Future? "Median half-life of the ThinkPad X220" is listed between "The Sun reaches the top of the red-giant branch of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram" and "the Moon spirals below Earth's Roche limit, breaking into a ring of debris".

Fret not, dear User! For I as the IT admin will happily pour water directly into the parts that matter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

When people mention watercooling is this what they mean

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

By pouring water over a laptop that's been forgotten in a corner of the basement for 20 years?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Anyone know if this actually does anything to modern laptops? I can't think of a single computer I've used that didn't have drainage in the keyboard.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Do you exclusively use Thinkpads?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I guess so. Macbooks brick if the air has too much moisture. This guy has never seen a MacBook then

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I have a Thinkpad and some weird ass dell or something but IIRC they have some holes with a water drop shape embossed nearby. The rest are desktop keyboards.

What? How old are you?
