You can tell it's an old stock photo by the ratio of the monitor.

And windows vista

And Vista task bar

I had better MS Paint skills with Windows XP on a Pentium 4 256MB RAM machine.

my ThinkPad™ literally has gutters built into the keyboard to direct spilled liquids away from the circuitry. it also boots after i hit it with a hammer

[–] SapphironZA@lemmings.world 18 points 10 months ago

You know it comes with a power button that will also switch it on for you? /s

[–] ChojinDSL@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 10 months ago (4 children)

(un)fortunately, my thinkpad has a spillproof keyboard.

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I bet it isn't hydrofluoric acid spill proof

[–] z500@startrek.website 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Pour it on yourself and you'll never have to work another day in your life

[–] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

I drink a cocktail of HCl, fentanyl and bleach everyday. Can personally confirm.

[–] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Please don't spill HF anywhere that isn't specifically designed for it.

[–] Sallp@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just need a different liquid.

Hey boss , I worked so fast the computer overheated. Let's call it a day shall we?

[–] Bronco1676@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Probably not a valid excuse with M series macbooks :(

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Kidding aside, the M series is incredible with how cool and queit it is. It’s a laptop you can actually put on your lap.

[–] Bronco1676@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

Yes it still gets warm fairly often for me, but not first degree burn warm

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah it’s pretty clear Apple took their knowledge of building mobile processors since the A6, which is really the first iPhone processor they made in house. Then they probably poached a bunch of people from intel or amd and grabbed a few of their PowerPC vets and here we are. Love or hate Apple, the M series is great for processor competition because it is a great processor line

That's what this picture was advertising.

Nothing an "accidental" fall can't solve

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm just imagining having a bad day at work and then pushing my PC off my desk at noon on a Friday, calling IT and punching out.

I mean I am IT, but still.

[–] BorgDrone@lemmy.one 2 points 10 months ago

The world of networking is full of accidents waiting to happen.

What if i have a Thinkpad X220?

[–] rmuk 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Have you ever read that Wikipedia article, Timeline of the Far Future? "Median half-life of the ThinkPad X220" is listed between "The Sun reaches the top of the red-giant branch of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram" and "the Moon spirals below Earth's Roche limit, breaking into a ring of debris".

[–] mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago

And to many more!

Fret not, dear User! For I as the IT admin will happily pour water directly into the parts that matter.

[–] 567PrimeMover@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

When people mention watercooling is this what they mean

[–] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago

By pouring water over a laptop that's been forgotten in a corner of the basement for 20 years?

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works -2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Anyone know if this actually does anything to modern laptops? I can't think of a single computer I've used that didn't have drainage in the keyboard.

[–] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Do you exclusively use Thinkpads?

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

I guess so. Macbooks brick if the air has too much moisture. This guy has never seen a MacBook then

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

I have a Thinkpad and some weird ass dell or something but IIRC they have some holes with a water drop shape embossed nearby. The rest are desktop keyboards.

What? How old are you?
