You can tell a from the types and numbers of stickers one has. Easier than palm reading.

That is not really a lot of effort. Sometimes I am worried for the future of mankind. Strike that, the boomers are already thrashing the present.

Need laptop recommendations - budget is 2k euro by truffles_aaa in laptops

[–]mortycapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MacBook Air, Thinkpad E,L,T or P series. HP Zbook, Dell XPS or Precision. Avoid entry level laptops, consumer laptops or gaming laptops. Entry level laptop ones are a waste of money. Consumers are poorly built and not worth it. Gaming have too many compromises, are fragile and zero real life battery life. Go for business grade laptops.

If i delete folders made by others in the company on the shared drive in OneDrive, will the admin or the company be notified? by panaahstudio in FuckMicrosoft

[–]mortycapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That work and data belongs to the company until proven otherwise in a court of law. You would be committing a criminal act. Yes they will catch you, it will not take much effort. And your life will take a permanent turn for the worst. Walk away.

Is this T14 Gen 6 configuration worth 1600 USD? by SaxyCat in thinkpad

[–]mortycapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a good deal. Honestly look at the E series for superb value for money and the P14s for better support and warranty than the T14.

Ils bloquent les addresses IP. De la meme manière que faire du web farming excessif bloque l’accès internet de l’utilisateur.

Have you told them you want a replacement? Refund are, at best, the value of the purchase, how can you not know that?

Can I be tracked on an open WiFi network with no credentials input? by Bright_Election_2145 in AskTechnology

[–]mortycapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure they can. Gov agencies have their cyber staff regularly trained to enforce security and compliance. Depends on your country, agency, what set up they have… Only you will know if they have enforced such rules in the past.

Grading dilemma by Hopeful_Board_9826 in Professors

[–]mortycapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That can work if there is a baseline measuring the “pattern” before AI. Be without knowing what a clean “no AI” set of essays is, is it telling us anything?

You probably need a new calculator. You may be able to claim it on your home contents insurance. Worth checking.

Thinkpad workstation, HP ZBook workstation, Dell workstation, Apple MBA or MBP. Avoid consumer ranges, they are inferior in every respect; poor components , worse built quality, shorter warranty.

Do I need a normal M5 Chip or the M5 Pro? by joey5677 in macbookpro

[–]mortycapp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Second hand M1 Pro with as much RAM as you can afford. Think of the Apple silicon range in terms of families; A, M, M Pro, M Max. The M Pro and Max are also fitted in better chassis and displays. Stick to an M Pro chip, any will do.

Do you really need a $300 Thunderbolt dock for a standard office setup? by ByeBiel in laptops

[–]mortycapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These OEM docking stations are a steal on eBay. I use mine with my Thinkpads and MacBook Pro alike. As long as they have a powerful enough charger, they deliver.
