It would be better if it was green.

Kresimir · July 28, 2021, 1:50pm

Yeah, anything better in green. I’d be happy with it being completely black too.

Before I go back to using 2 monitors I need a bigger desk. Actually before I get a bigger desk I need a bigger apartment!

How about wall-mounts?

wordler · July 28, 2021, 1:58pm

It’s a fair point. I do have drill. That could be a game changer

Does this count?

I’m in debt!

anon31549144 · August 19, 2021, 6:42pm

That’s a hefty fine. Must’ve been doing something really nasty.

Holy is that for just 1 year?

I remember 20 years ago I had to pay £1000 a year as university fee.

Very, very OT

The US finds an “acceptable” way to ensure indentured servitude for whole other class of people.

Yes. Something went wrong and I couldn’t get financial support. F U studentgovaid

Chinese concentration camps slave labor!?

Kresimir · August 22, 2021, 2:03pm

Well, it’s pretty much everything we have bought this century.

Root · August 22, 2021, 2:22pm

Well - could be right - the question mark was more like (undisclosed) - but I get your idea.

Abuse of labour is - unfortunately - not something only associated with the dark ages centuries ago - but a very imminent possibility of today’s scene.

And it is not limited to conglomerates like Apple or Microsoft but it is present in everyday life - maybe experienced by someone who had to ‘pay-off’ some official to get what would otherwise have been free albeit with an indefinite waiting time.

Our grand Creator - Jehovah - are going to take hand of these things - in the very near future.

True, but still with those two you know for sure it’s exactly what’s going on

I recently bought the Logitech G332s.

Oof, they’re going back

I don’t have a massive head by any measure, but these things are tight as hell, causing headaches etc, and the sound off them was anaemic and tinny.

So off they pop back to Amazon!

You buying too expensive computers?

tlmiller76 · August 24, 2021, 1:58am

So, I’m actually trying to decide if I should make a purchase. The possible item, a Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen2.

Ryzen 7 5850U
32GB DDR4-3200 (16GB soldered + 16 GB DIMM)
128 GB NVMe SSD (I have multiple 1 TB in enclosures, I’d just throw one of them in)
400-nit 1080P low power LCD
fingerprint reader
backlit keyboard
3-year onsite warranty w/ ADP

But…$1800 shipped (after ~$900 discounts)
