noooo i have work and shit

oh god… that’s even more expensive. but my life will never be complete without it…

you motherfucker.

i wore a pink spandex suit to class enough days last semester that a prof of mine said to me – immediately before a final exam i forgot about and wore a FUCKING PINK SUIT TO, and that i fucking ACED – “[spv], you’re cool, you have a way of making the strangest things seem normal”

to which i replied “i’m just gonna take that as a compliment?”

“i meant it that way, you’re, you’re cool”

it was so uncomfy… lmao

firstly, i greatly appreciate the offer, and thank you for it, but i use a model m every day, and have another “awaiting repairs” in my basement – send it to someone who needs it! start a thread!

secondly, i use a coreboot’d thinkpad already. i want something heaver, jankier, and more “starts a conversation with CS-students”. adding a 4g modem with a gigantic antenna (like i have laying around) would be even funnier.

i want to build something that i bring to class one day, people lose their shit, and then people just get used to it.

“expensive”, “huge”, and “barely portable” – throw in “impractical”, “ridiculous”, and “functional” and you’ve described my taste exactly

i used to bring a model m to compsci classes in high school because i was bored, and my prof didn’t mind lmao

seems like that certain point is now, if not very, very soon :P

the night at the roxbury vid was funny

but gates can still steve my ballmers…

they absolutely can be easily swapped. i’m just bitchin’ that i have to do it again after doing it two weeks ago, lmao…

which one?

inb4 someone mentions an emacs lisp package for filing your taxes

intel_gpu_top, nvidia-smi, or radeontop. pick your poison.

i’d just like to interject for a moment

i’ve been doing cs for a year now with a coreboot’d t440p. if anything, it’s gotten me some greetz from my profs, lmao

i’ve made do with libreoffice just fine, i submit most of my labs in odt without issue

keep a VM for labs in case they require windows, on machine or a home server. pick your poison

i assumed you were making a comment on the modern (fascist) administration. there’s a difference between shitty politics and fascism. :P

the quote in question is over a decade old…

i’d assume this might be a drive issue rather than a distro / linux issue. iirc i installed debian from CD a few months back on a thinkpad because i was bored… hah, parties. you’re funny. undervolting thinkpads while procrastinating finals. that’s my kind of shit.

i hate to be a pedant (who am i kidding, i love to be) but they didn’t really invent electricity, so much as discover it and improve on existing technologies. ben franklin was writing about lightning rods a century before. also autoerotic asphyxiation. that’s true, look it up.

you’re evil. i love it.

on my campus, there’s a stack of several dozen desktops just out in the open (in a basement)

plus a dumpster worth on monitors, peripherals, and at least one ipad with multiple bullet holes. the screen is fine – somebody pulled the screen off, then shot the logic board. i have so many questions
