Whoa, cool! We have almost the same wallpaper!

When you're at home, where do you eat your meals? in c/[email protected]

At home, at the table. However, while I'm living in halls, I prefer to eat on the sofa.

What ThinkPad for daily use? in c/[email protected]

I think I'll be going for the T14. Thank you!

What ThinkPad for daily use? (lemmy.ca)
 

Hey, Lemmy. I've recently broken my ten-year-old MacBook in a mishap involving some ionic cleaning fluids, and I am looking to replace it with a ThinkPad.

I am currently at uni, studying cybersecurity, and this particular course also has a lot of software development at the start. I also would be looking to play some videogames (nothing too taxing though; really just Minecraft, Terraria, Stardew Valley, etc.; assuming I don't go for FreeBSD instead of Linux), watch some videos, and do a bit of video editing.

The device being replaced was a mid-2014 MacBookPro11,1 A1502. Compared to my other hardware, though, this is a powerhouse.

I have already looked at a few models (namely the T450 and the X1 Carbon Gen. 10), but these have always had a snag or two that are a deal breaker.

Of course, I will be running either Linux, BSD, or some other *nix.

In terms of specs, I would be needing:

  • At least 8GB of RAM (or upgradable to/past)
  • A CPU equal or better than the i5 in the Mac
  • At least 256GB of storage (SSD preferable, but not essential)
  • 1400x900 resolution or higher
  • WiFi drivers available for BSD
  • Decent battery life
  • Screen must be less than 17", or it won't fit in my bag
  • Ideally no more than five years old; although an older ThinkPad could be doable
  • Either AMD-based or made after 2018 (to prevent Meltdown attacks, should I decide to run Linux-libre or something else without microcode updates)

Unless a device is ridiculously expensive, the cost shouldn't be a problem. Also, I live in the UK.

So, any suggestions?

Is using Android with GApps as bad as running Windows on your PC? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Eh, kinda. It's not quite as easy to escape from GApps as it is to install Linux, though, so it's understandable.

My advice is to look into LineageOS, DivestOS, and GrapheneOS and see if your device is supported by anyone. If not, it's possible to remove GApps using ADB, and you can use NextDNS to block tracking.

Gotta love FreeTube. PokeTube also works decently, although it only supports subscriptions via RSS.

Well, that explains how the NSA keep getting in every so often.

He also said fast forward to today. It could have been years between him signing "I love you" and saying "marry me"

It's...hard to argue with that.

It doesn't really resist fingerprinting that well. Also, theming GTK4 kinda blows.

Still, 'tis an option.
