Still have a T520 that I use for personal stuff and the occasional work thing at customer sites. The screen kind of sucks though so I think I might get a replacement high DPI one since they're a hundred bucks new old stock.

This is the rifle my dad has : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_Model_34 Looks like it was just his dads. But still its a bloody old gun. Only made from 1932-1935. edit : he still uses it and stuck a scope on it. Told me he shaved an edge off a playing card at ~100 yards. edit edit : Holy gently caress that price.

Youtube started doing interstitial ads and they're jarring as gently caress in content that was not actually designed with ad breaks in mind Like it just cuts in mid-sentence with an incredibly loud ad with some future road rage murderers saying the new chevy truck looks BEAST MODE

Lenovo makes some legit high end laptops. Yogas and Carbon Blacks rule. I have a carbon black and a surfacebook (whatever the highest end one is) for work right now. Prefer the carbon black, although I'm running a couple Linux distros on it right now it was great with Windows 10 too

The video will be 17 seconds long and you get loving four seconds of it before an ad pops up.

My Dell XPS 15 came without bloatware. It also came with non-functional drivers for several components that caused tons of bluescreens and crashes but you can't win 'em all.

The Win 10 update bricked it and Lenovo was so lovely to deal with CS wise I finally got the retailer to refund the purchase price under their purchase warranty and got a MacBook. So your mileage may very with Lenovo.

That's pretty weird. My company buys a couple a week, don't have issues with them that I'm aware of. They are susceptible to drops though.....

not caring here posted:Yeah, just before I got my med board hearing test I had to go to the once a year army one. And despite the fact that I was just hitting randomly apparently my hearing had not changed. When I got the results I said I was surprised with all the ringing and not hearing anything, some dude came practically running out from the back office to tell everyone that the test is fine, there's not reason to not trust the test, now get out all of you. Yeah I failed the test once. They restarted it, and my hearing had magically not deviated from the previous year's results. ASTOUNDING.

You can have tinnitus--ringing in the ears--with and without hearing loss, just FYI. Either can also be one sided, or both. Sorry not calling y'all dumbs just wanted to clarify in case you thought you needed one to have the other But please, for the two people in this thread that are still in, get your poo poo documented if you have any sort of ringing/hearing loss.

cowboy elvis posted:Can you elaborate? Eh there's a chain here called Farmers that uses 'your store' as its motto. And I guess all the companies that refer to themselves as 'your such and such experts'. Like I get it's to create familiarity or whatever but it just seems so loving transparent that I can't see how anyone can see it as endearing and not patronising as gently caress.

The things last forever, never break, and require a bare minimum of fiddling/configuring in terms of software and system settings. I used to care about that poo poo, but I got lazy and just want something to type on that doesn't require extra thought.

OE-254 goes up, OE-254 comes down. OE-254 goes up, OE-254 comes down. And that, kids, is why you strap it to the side of the truck.
