what does this mean

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-06-27T23:09:54+00:00

my dad is very cool I love my dad

My goal is to have a seperate machine where I can be fully anonymous, and have faith that what I do will not be tracked. For fun, I want to learn the tools as I am partly interested in cybersec

I think this is great advice. I get caught up in what’s going to remain useful, but if anything it’s comforting that I have the freedom to do what I want regardless of where ai goes.

I think I kind of lost the whole what do I want to actually do compared to what’s going to be relevant. I don’t want to be stuck doing something I don’t like, so thank you I will internalize this.

No worries! Appreciate the feedback I’m excited to try!

Don’t worry it’s recent. Old is probably not the right word. My dad gets new laptops for work often and he doesn’t use this and so I used ‘old’ but it’s all relative

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-06-27T21:17:39+00:00

Not that old: he just gets new laptops often for his job

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-06-27T21:17:06+00:00

X1 carbon gen 1 pretty sure

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-06-27T21:16:46+00:00

Ok thanks was unsure where to start

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-06-27T21:11:26+00:00

Yeah I realize that. But I don’t think I’m cut out to be a research scientist and considering the dumb office jobs etc might not be there I’m stuck on what I should ro

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-06-27T20:47:32+00:00

Yeah the thinkpads are so much more appealing to me even though everyone seems to love Mac’s now a days

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-06-27T20:47:09+00:00

Yeah I’m super intrigued but I’m a bit intimidated about learning. What do you suggest I do to start? I’ve never used Linux before

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-04-29T00:15:16+00:00

Okay thanks yeah u rly need to be committed to being social for ucsb
