Absolutely! The M2 is already highly capable. An M3 w/ DDR5 and PCIe 5, in addition to their Retina display? Hell yeah! I just use my X1 Carbon as a thin client machine; it really doesn't do any heavy lifting. No lag on Windows or Linux; but I prefer not to have to block all microsoft instances at the router.

Classic. I loved the PowerPC days. Still run a G4 tower every now and then; works like a champ!

I've printed over 12,000 pages on my one brother laser printer! Only had to replace the drum once ($30); and I would buy my off brand toner in a 2 pack for $20! The other brother laser (scanner/fax/self-feeding) is currently at 6,000 pages! That one I've only had to replace the toner a few times. The most expensive thing is the paper but I have a deal with a few stores around here that I'll buy their torn open reams for $1 each.

Yeah I had an HP and that mf would burn through a $40 cart in about 100 pages. Brother's the boss.

I've never been an native MacOS users except prior to their Intel and M1/2 series chips. X1 Carbons are just a thing of mine I like; they run linux and Windows just fine; however there is no way to upgrade things really. The T series Thinkpads are great as desktop replacements but are no MacBook replacements. I guess to sum up: if you are in the MacOS linage, stick with MacOS. If you are using Windows, then Thinkpads offer some of the best laptop experiences.

Home, Education, Full 6" latex memory foam mattress, Quality sheets, Blackout Curtains, Thinkpad laptops (T series and X1 series; don't game), WD red drives, VPN access (port forwarding; needed for hosting), FIOS (1gb asynchronous; no data cap; they don't care), Brother laser printer/scanner, Email account on secure server (they take care of business)

I can't fathom that amount stored there in addition to the amount of data traffic occurring. Those fibers are on fire; coming in the centers in 3 foot tubes! For some reason they don't appear on google image search. ;)

One of the largest.

From what I've gathered certain really illegal content was being created and uploaded; and paid for using crypto. It really is a harsh shame to people who have obscure files or services and have been using the service for more than 5 years. I think they should reevaluate their policy and allow registered non-crypto accounts to have access to it after a certain period of time. Simply removing the feature is unacceptable; I put my trust in IVPN after much research. I'm concerned about how the other providers will handle the windfall of new users signing up for the feature and if they will keep it active.

Does anyone remember the add on voice to speech and advanced sound module that chunked into the right hand side of that machine. It was black magic back then.

Surely we recall typing code into basic from the back of a magazine. Later we were blown away from having a EGA card that didn’t make text look like crap? Right guys?

Agree completely. I've been migrating from system since bulletin boards were around. It's nice to see change in action!

 

It's over. Feels like losing an old friend. Let's morn the loss of our old community for a few days, remember that best of post and conversations, and more forward. This was our Summer "Eternal September" moment. Make this new home vibrant, share you passions, make closer friends, and keep coming back. Things are weird, so is change. It was home to many of us for 17 years, it's almost old enough to vote; and it's CEO did. So fuck /u/spez, welcome; make this the home you keep coming back to. @green_dragon@lemmy.world

 

Does your ISP allow you to host your own server for a small website without paying for a commercial plan? I recently moved and my new ISP doesn't allow the port to be open.
