Apparently the “older” ones like T480 had crappy screens and it changed with, tada! , the T490 generation q. I’m quite happy with mine to be honest. I got a french keyboard, thinking about getting the US one with that Big return key :-D but I’m curious about what your “retrofitted classic keyboard” is (it appears it is quite simple to change the keyboard on ThinkPad)?

Excluding GPU extensive operations a used ThinkPad is so good and cheap it’s incredible.

Bought a T490 16GB 512GB for 260€ … I think my desktop will be used less and less …

We’ll surely invent something even worse ;-)

Personally I hate induction, or more the implementation I have been exposed to of it, no physical buttons and 1 drop of water will zero out everything :-/

Gas cooking ranges

I Love my gas stove-top (the oven is electric), 3 physical buttons with immediate response <3 !

Are there any dangers except the obvious burning your hand you have in mind? It’s heavily regulated where I live so the danger of everything blowing up is quite small.

1. Exactly !

Just some beautiful looking stuff made up by an AI and 5 minutes isn’t the way, we’ll see where artists take the tool, I imagine it will be great. In the meantime I’d like to just filter out all script kiddies doing “art” if that even is possible…

2. Yeah I do not really agree with all that post modern crap at all ^^

I mean there are exceptions but if you Have to explain the “art” (or no one gets it) then it’s not art at all IMO, just BS.

That head is so wrong sized lol 😆

So what’s your definition of art?

For example, I personally don’t think hyper realism (people spending months “painting” an exact large copy of a hi-def photo) is art, for me it’s just craftsmanship, no creativity even.

AI feels the same, it’s just a tool as the chisel or the paintbrush. What do you create when doing your prompts?

It can be art I guess, but I also think it usually is not at all.

New assymetric algos exist and the new standard is worked on right now IIRC (it might have been done already).

“C’est claire !”

I mean ; “C’est Claire !”

Except for public transport :-D

Got myself a fiio (IIRC) BT DAC and can’t go back. Sound quality sure differs from a phone DAC.

Still got an ass-long cable though lol!

If you stop and listen to idiots, you won’t go far.

I’d even go further and claim that any post on the smallest sub should be more important than almost any other post on a larger one.

You did subscribe to it so you want to know.

Yeah but that didn’t help at all 😅

So American.

Lol :-)

Yeah, it’s always okay to question if you work enough, but never okay to question if they pay you enough.

How would that translate in a simpler English for a non native tired person?

Yeah it sure is inspiring but how the hell can we follow you if you burned the damn bridge!!
