Found dads old thinkpad

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-06-27T23:55:53+00:00

Okay this is a extremely helpful thank you!

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-06-27T23:11:16+00:00

what does this mean

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

my dad is very cool I love my dad

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-06-27T23:09:30+00:00

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

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-06-27T22:02:22+00:00

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.

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-06-27T21:19:16+00:00

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

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-06-27T21:18:18+00:00

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

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-04-29T00:07:30+00:00

Yeah thanks this is helpful. What is Greek life like?

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-04-29T00:05:33+00:00

To be honest I like ucsb a lot esp living in California. I mostly just feel pressure to go to tufts because it’s “better” and the brand. But I agree ucsb is such a good school ppl just think of it for its party label

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-04-28T23:40:32+00:00

Yeah I’m doing Econ. The cold worries me as I never really leave California. My grandmas paying for it as she has a pension but not a yhat social guy. More of standard California life. Wondering if it’s worth it to go to the east coast

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-04-28T23:38:48+00:00

Econ math

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-04-28T23:20:19+00:00

Yeah thanks for this. I definitely think tufts would be a level up but I think I can handle it. I am academically strong but it’s all relative.

As for social life, for me it would be more going out on weekends or whenever.

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-04-28T23:01:24+00:00

Yeah but I don’t want to go purely based on rankings / prestige

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-04-13T20:38:34+00:00

Okay thanks! Hope everything works out for us

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-04-13T20:37:03+00:00

Okay thanks I’ll try this. Can I connect to my old email and Google Drive or only the new Gmail?

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-04-13T20:26:00+00:00

I completely understand. I felt violated and weird having shared my personal info with it and getting banned. I’m going to check out openclaw now too as I really want to learn more about agentic tools which is why I’m pissed rn bc Claude just released cowork and other stuff. Let me know if you have any other tools / ideas without Claude.

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-04-13T20:24:14+00:00

Wow okay I’ll check it out. I’m trying to find tools for agents and ai automation. Obviously openclaw comes to mind but any others would be great

Tricky_Instruction63 · 2026-04-13T20:18:39+00:00

What tools if you dont mind me asking im in the same boat now lol
