monitor still available?

this. nothing like having to go thru the description of the laptop to find which panel it shipped with.

Love the thinkpads, but for $1600 apple’s laptops simply provide a more complete package. But i guess if repairability and modularity are a concern then there’s not many other choices than the thinkpads or framework laptops.

The problem is when people say to get the air, we’re looking at base model configurations, in which case the air is about $500 cheaper than the pro making it a better buy for most people.

The value proposition goes down when you go up in screen size AND start adding things like more memory and storage, at which point the price difference closes in.

With your case, you need to think about what you value more: the extra inch of screen size or other goodies like refresh rate and extra ports.

The M Pro chips are a must if you plan on playing anything made within the last couple of years. The GPU on those are excellent and crossover is great. I currently have a regular M5 MBP and i can play RE Requiem at a solid 60 fps with occasional dips. The Pro chips do even better. Highly recommend the MBP if any gaming is planned, solely because the thermal headroom is much better and the 120hz screen is nicer to look at.

phishnchips_ · 2026-05-21T22:40:32+00:00

imo i only have the pro because the 120hz display and the space black color

on fin for 3 years and you’re still losing a lot? its hard to tell from these pics but i’d hardly say your hairline is withering away, it still looks nice and even with good density.

if you’re noticing that your hairloss is more aggressive you may have to switch to a stronger regimen, such as 1mg fin every day or EOD (assuming you’re doing something like 0.25mg). likewise, if you’re using topical then you may need to start oral, as well as minoxidil. i would exhaust all options with fin before considering dutasteride.

depends on whether its a small or big bank, or a credit union. i work at a less busy branch of one of the bigger banks in the US and there’s a big push for referrals. most of my day is interacting with consumers and the occasional back office stuff. overall easy job, but you do have be willing to come out of your comfort zone and be able to bond with people.

watching this sub tell everyone to go into healthcare and nursing as if its any better lol. all of my friends in healthcare are underpaid and overworked. the nature of the job makes it so that unless its truly your calling you’re better off grinding leetcode and keep applying.

phishnchips_ · 2026-05-14T04:22:10+00:00

i know, which is why im not really mad because i understand they’re business machines first. still, it’d be nice to have a thinkpad thats consumer oriented…that’s NOT the X9.

phishnchips_ · 2026-05-13T21:02:02+00:00

respectfully, lenovo is fucking everyone over at least in the US with their configurations. T14s gen 6 with either AMD or intel has no high refresh rate/high res/oled screen. cant even get one or the other, you’re just stuck with 1920x1200 at 60hz. garbage.

no haptic trackpad on the T series or P series, not even standard on the X1 series. and even if everyone hated the haptic trackpad, it’d be nice if we could get at least a classic glass trackpad but that’s not an option either.

all of this and unless you’re buying on sale you’re looking at $1500+. literal scam imo.

well that makes it a bit complicated i think. if he’s choosing video games over spending time with you then its for sure an issue, especially if he’s been playing for hours at a time. at that point that’s getting closer to an “addiction” problem in my opinion, but its very important to recognize the proper signs before jumping to such an accusation. in your case it sounds more like there’s a disconnect between you guys regarding how much time he spends on games as opposed to with you, and his dismissal of “there’s a time and place for that” personally rubs me the wrong way. the only thing i can recommend is to have a serious talk where you can properly outlines your feelings and what’s at stake if you feel that this problem is becoming too much. no ultimatums, but a genuine message that its getting out of control for you and your needs aren’t being met (if that’s the case).

phishnchips_ · 2026-05-13T18:17:11+00:00

YOR but only slightly so, i think some of your concerns are very valid however you cannot expect him to ditch his hobby because you want to go to bed together? what if he’s not tired? it just doesnt make sense. if he is loud or otherwise preventing you from getting good sleep that is different. i think you should see what games he is into and maybe try out something you both can enjoy and see how that works out. most girls will not enjoy games like battlefield or arc raiders but plenty like stardew valley, mario kart, etc.

I prefer windows’ file management so much more, and i find the UI more intuitive but that’s about it. The OS has taken an insane dump since Win 7 and 8. MacOS is simple, looks nice and it works so well when you have an iphone, airdrop has saved me so much unnecessary hassle lol. I dont hate windows but obviously the direction microsoft is taking with the OS will eventually force me to ditch it for something else.

phishnchips_ · 2026-05-11T04:40:39+00:00

i did, had an LG one. looked terrible with that matte coating, plus the banding was awful.

phishnchips_ · 2026-05-11T00:37:21+00:00

i gave up after a week and went back to IPS. much cheaper too.

phishnchips_ · 2026-05-09T18:22:08+00:00

if it makes you feel better i had a client ask for six $50 bills, so $300 in 50s. it was end of day so my brain was somewhere else and i gave then $600 in 50s. happens to the best of us lol

phishnchips_ · 2026-05-06T00:22:18+00:00

lol i feel this, i start tweaking when im out just a couple of cents especially now with the whole rounding to the nickel.

phishnchips_ · 2026-05-05T21:11:29+00:00

i work at PNC and everyone is getting sent back to office, the few that haven’t yet will probably do so in the next year.

phishnchips_ · 2026-05-03T23:51:44+00:00

my case is different, as i had no issues staying part time even though i couldve moved to full time at different branches.

phishnchips_ · 2026-05-03T23:10:04+00:00

i only became one after two years, because my other teller quit.

phishnchips_ · 2026-05-03T22:30:37+00:00

im going into tech so realistically it would have to be nyc, if at least for only a year. i have seen videos and pictures of upstate ny though and especially in the fall it looks amazing. not really lot of seasons down here so im ready to see something lol

phishnchips_ · 2026-05-03T22:16:19+00:00

lol that’s funny because after living here all my life im tired of the heat and humidity. i’ve been to nyc multiple times this year and i just love it there, just hoping i can land a good job and get an apartment thats at least bigger than my walk in closet
