     @condret @che5hire @coolboymew i wish they still made thinkpads to be easily serviceable, upgradable, and had the classic series
     
     The prefix#20 series was really the last thinkpads i want and i wish that wasnt the case
     
     (I use a thinkpad x220, i used to have a w520 as well)

     @coolboymew I mean in addition to it being a privacy minefield I guess window shopping is way less enjoyable when you have your own budget and already own a ton of tech already. Even as someone who needs a laptop I’m still rocking an almost 10 year old thinkpad which I’ll probably only replace when I physically can’t use it anymore.

     I do kinda miss a lot of gimmicky stuff from the past tho like those CD burners that also burned labels. They probably sucked but it would be cool if there was a “game cartridge maker” equivalent in modern day or something.

     @che5hire I'm just not talking about games either. For games, the Switch and Steam Deck were probably the "coolest" tech in a while
     
     Otherwise, I'm talking about anything else. I'm looking at the shopping channel tech sales and it's lame AF.
     
     Tablets are just bigger phones and they're pretty useless.
     
     I don't need a laptop, I have a desktop.
     
     Apple watch, it's ludicrously expensive
     
     Fitbit, also expensive, use their shitty app, oops gotta login :))))))) and they'll probably sell your data
     
     Lmao what is this scam, just put Linux in a USB stick bruh

     There's just like nothing fucking cool like you saw in the 90s/00s and in LGR videos, it's all streamlined garbage that will steal your data

     @coolboymew I’m just annoyed at how little graphics are improving compared to the price of the hardware they expect you to have now. It’s like I’m only paying for better hardware because devs are getting worse at optimizing their games and not because it actually looks better.

     @condret @che5hire @coolboymew the only real issue of those thinkpads is that the lcd screens are hot dogshit and that the technology is slowly getting up in age, but for what i do with them i could still feasibly use the internet with something older and not really have a problem.
     
     I mean there are still those who use a x60 as a daily driver, or at the very least an x200 with like libreboot

     @Mondobizarrro @che5hire @condret @coolboymew Have you looked into System76 or Framework? They provide up-gradable and repairable laptops.
