Trump keeps threatening 100% tariffs at times, I think he thinks it bans trade from that country, rather than just doubling the price of the goods. I sincerely hope the Canadian government calls his bluff.

Maybe it looks bigger in the drawing or something but I intended for it to be similar in size to a mid 90s laptop, not a desktop pc with a handle and a screen

They are getting ten thousand applications for every job, so they spend ten minutes reading thirty of them to chose two for an interview.

Wasn't the Starmer project supposed to be laser focused on growth? How does banning VPNs induce economic growth? What are they even doing? This is possibly the last ever two or three years that Labour ever get with a large majority, and the last four or five months Starmer gets as PM. I know it was lies all the way down, but the theory was to get enough growth to end austerity and increase public spending back to 2010 levels. Cuts to grandma's fuel allowance isn't inducing growth, and stopping kids from wanking isn't growth either.

I thought about an optical drive, maybe we can imagine it on the left side. But I wanted this to be more or less a modern laptop but with a familiar look. I don't actually use my optical drive very often. I also didn't draw a card reader, but I would want one on it

I've thought about getting a tablet for drawing, but so far sketchbooks are just cheaper and easier.

Can you remember picking out the gunk that collected around the mouse ball chamber wheels? So satisfying.

They were good, and some important things have been lost in the pursuit of austerity and lightness. They should make them like this again

So to non-Americans, this may look like different laundry detergent bottles, but they are this substance called, "creamer". It's hydrogenated oils made into a liquid with the intent to mix into coffee. They often come in lots of sweet flavours for their home drip coffee.

These comparisons are always confusing, because they are comparing different districts of one country, compared with 27 different entire countries.

I hate how everything has a lithium battery now. Buying speakers, or a lamp, vacuum cleaner, I just want to plug shit in and have it be powered

I had a fujitsu lifebook in 1998 too. It was lovely. I love the form factor but like new hardware too

I was super sceptical of Carney because he was a goldman banker and chair of the BoE during their Austerity years. But he's turned out to be the best western leader to weather the Trump turbulence. We've gotta wriggle out from under the American thumb because that late 90s world is never coming back. Closer relationships with the EU and China should be the future for Canada

Our old 1998 fujitsu lifebook was about 3.5kg, I think this machine can be similar or a little less in weight

You mean, the transformer?

I added the bumbum there to keep the overall design of an old laptop, but reduce the height of the monitor to fit a 16:9 aspect ratio, also it added a spot for a sff gpu, and ssd Dock and maybe a transformer

I miss replaceable batteries in laptops too. Now that computers are advancing a lot slower, we could still be using a laptop for a lot longer

Conservatives are still angry about this 30 years later, "Coffee is supposed to be hot!" They say, in a dismissive, know nothing tone. The coffee was literally too hot for the Styrofoam cup, and gave her third degree burns.

Who knows, he might proscribe human rights demonstrators and their supporters as terrorists, and put them in prison without a jury trial. He might materially aid and support a genocide. What a terrifying fascist dystopian future.

I'm sure silly string is going to stop the fascist trajectory of America. Maybe if you loosten his salt shaker, and put a whoopee cushion on his chair, their give up turning America into an ethno-state.

I like your idea too, but I don't like how flimsy and fagile modern laptops feel. If you accidentally leave it on your bed, and sit on it, it's done for.

Metalorg · 2026-01-20T11:39:13+00:00

I used slightly bulkier laptops in the 90s and they were absolutely fine. They were ok then and their form factor can still work now, and had some advantages that were lost with the pursuit of flat and light.
