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


a significant financial investment (FOSS laptop)
i am tempted *so* strongly to build a FOSS laptop, with either an ARM or RISCV processor, and a model f ssk. you can buy brand new model f's from [modelfkeyboards.com](https://modelfkeyboards.com/), but they're like $400. it would be so dope to build something like that, with maybe a 3d-printed case, but i can't justify that sort-of investment on a whim, lol. please, help me justify a very, very poor financial decision.

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…


i think i accidentally (literally) cooked my thinkpad speakers
had a long-running transcode script running on my t440p while closed -- sustained 90+ C for over a day. speakers are *fucked* now... lmao guess who needs to go on ebay again
