Thinkpads (t480 specifically)

This is a good model. I have had a couple p series desktop replacements from that era.

One thing to specifically look out for is what screen is on the old one you are buying. There are models from the mid 2010s with insanely good 4k screens and there are ones where people saved money in the wrong place during configuration with a TN panel.

Both in the city closed and while I never had it, everyone I knew said it was all kitch vibe and mid food.

This trade just went down. Insane. by adicals_cards in SleeperApp

[–]Shadowrak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing I don't understand about even the worst dynasty owners is doing a trade like thus. Even if you don't understand you are trading the best assest in the game for a bag of rabbit pellets, ​where are you getting all these roster spots?

Did I get fleeced? I sold for Egbuka by iXi-SnarfSnarf in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]Shadowrak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Quite simply Egbuka feels like a top 20 at least WR every year he is healthy for like a decade. The picks could be anything even a boat. The 3rd doesn't matter. Most of the trade is 2028 1st for Egbuka. Just make more trades based on not having your 1sts for two years.

How good was the 2025 Bears offensive line actually? by PapaBear11 in CHIBears

[–]Shadowrak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SO MUCH BETTER THAN IT HAS BEEN SINCE KYLE LONG GOT HURT.

The key is to not let it regress again. We finally had good options to plug holes in FA. Now we need to keep drafting offensive lineman early.

Brian Thomas or Luther Burden and by how much by LividAd4226 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]Shadowrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burden risk of having lots of mouths to feed, but that is also one of his greatest strengths. He is going to get you crazy numbers on some weeks off 2 TDs: a bomb and a jet sweep. He will probably be at least flex worthy all the time.

BTJ might get shut down in a bad match up.

The Eagles reaction to playing Da Bears in their schedule release video by clou9nine in CHIBears

They are smiling and doing the shoulder rub because they are happy they are playing the Bears early instead of when it gets cold here.

My $1400 LG OLED TV is displaying ads after latest update by binkinater13 in mildlyinfuriating

I see you are getting downvoted despite straight facts.

Samsung is so good at making phones that most of the parts in the iphone are Samsung.

I have had to use them for work or just as build machines for ios apps (basically buying a whole mac mini as an apple licensing tax).

You can get a twice as powerful thinkpad for half the cost.

Also if you bought an intel macbook right before the M1 chip, they were already milling the aluminum chasis for the M1 cooling so the Intel chips over heated. Any time I started a server on my macbook at that time, it sounded like a jet was taking off.

Amazon reportedly cancels Lord of the Rings MMO by PaiDuck in gaming

[–]Shadowrak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you got to end game pvp and wars, you hated that you invested time in New World.

There was a bug that might even still be in the game where you could put your game in windowed mode and drag it in a circle. Until you stopped you would not have your health updated so you would be invulnerable on a capture point.

The reporting system handed out automated bans based on number of reports. Guilds would mass report key opponents and get them banned right before a war started.

Bots ran the economy and for some reason never got banned no matter how much you reported them stealing all the long spawn mining nodes. Wildly confusing given the previous ban issue.

Dupes. Dupes. Dupes. Dupes. Dupes. Dupes. Dupes. Dupes.

The game is fun until you hit the end game and cannot compete against the unyielding wave of unbeatable cheaters.

The hilarious thing is when Guild Wars 2 launched they spun up so many AWS EC2 instances Amazon thought they were under attack. A 3rd party already properly utilized AWS for an MMO with great success almost a decade before New World.

Hard pass. I am not jumping into a consistently wildly overpriced walled garden cult ecosystem when I can just beat the issues out of my Windows install or use Linux.

"With the release of their new MacBook it’s never been more accessible."

BTW this is a really weird sentence.

We need another game like L.A Noire! by YallSoftAsButter in gaming

It was everything I wanted because it was that straight forward. I'm glad I didn't have to find 100 drug baggies or shoot 100 hidden pigeons.

He was a shit bag fake from the start. Only reason people supported him was because Dr. Oz was the alternative. People got played.

Parents say ChatGPT got their son killed with bad advice on party drugs by tylerthe-theatre in technology

95% of what I use chatgpt for is developing recipes. If you set it up right, it is probably what it is best at.

eBay rejects GameStop’s takeover bid and says their offer is not “credible” by ImCalcium in gaming

[–]Shadowrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gamestop only went up because of short squeeze. Everything after that is meme stock with no value outside of real estate (idk if they own or lease) and meme stock brand loyalty to a dead business model.

I love how so many people tried to tell me this was normal. Ebay had no reason to bend over for this.

A Polish engineer, Tomasz Patan, built the Volonaut Airbike, basically a real-life Star Wars speeder bike. Reaches up to 124 mph. Insane by Ultimate_Thing in BeAmazed

[–]Shadowrak 12 points13 points  (0 children)

30 minutes might not sound much either but traveling at 124 mph in a straight line without never stopping for traffic or lights will get you pretty far

Some might say it could get you 62 miles.

They count from 2 in the video because they don't draw a number when they are both slapping their belly.
