What is the best model of used ThinkPad to purchase?

Jump

  • X1 for ultra portability.

    Otherwise, T14 or T15.

    • Worth the effort to obtain a copy of MS Office on the high seas? *SOLVED

    Jump

  • @Reverendender

    OnlyOffice Desktop Editors...

    Simpler interface but lacking more advanced features of MS Office or Libre. It has the features 90% of users actually use though.

    Nearly perfect DOCX formatting compatibility. The only thing I have ever noticed when collaborating with Word users is the bullet symbols on list items may be different on my end.

  • Common courtesy is to not even link to paywalled articles... The publisher has already made it clear they are not interested in public awareness of their content.

    • How China Miscalculated Its Way to a Baby Bust: A missile scientist used mathematical models to push the nation’s one-child policy. Its legacy is proving hard to shake.

    Jump

  • Good news everyone! We all DO have this problem... It's just most obvious in China because they industrialized and urbanized more rapidly than anyone else AND had this stupid legal policy.

    Industrialization, urbanization and improving healthcare also significantly drops births, to below the replacement rate of 2.1. The whole world is on this path, with China, Japan, South Korea, Germany and Russia leading the way.

    Jump

  • Watched it live and I kept waiting for him to yell "Get off my lawn!"

    • Do you use a serial (Oxford) comma?

    Jump

  • I'm a technical writer (aircraft maintenance and flight operations manuals, mostly) and eliminating ambiguity is key to clear, effective communication.

    Leaving out that comma takes a sentence with only one possible interpretation and gives it several options instead.

    Jump

  • Maybe 3.5k and a pizza party.

    Jump

  • Didn't they find parts from an Electra in the surf on the edge of a South Pacific atoll several years ago, with no other Electra ever reported lost in the area, and signs of decades old brief human habitation on the island?

    • Nautilus File Manager Gets More Features Ahead of the GNOME 46 Release - 9to5Linux

    Jump

  • Copy the file and paste it into anywhere you can enter text... you get the path to the file as text.

    Choose your browser extensions, choose your browsing experience.

    • Beijing shrugs at U.S. call for help protecting Red Sea shipping

  • I'm honestly surprised that the US cares about it... There's near zero economic or strategic concerns left in that region for the US.

    • Alaska's rivers are turning orange and no one knows why

    Jump

  • How ironic.

  • They're called Zoomers.

    • Colorado Supreme Court, in landmark ruling, bans Trump from state’s ballot under insurrection clause

    Jump

  • This is not actually setting a precedent... This determination was made numerous times before without convictions, mostly in the aftermath of the Civil War. The precedent of a conviction or even a formal charge being unnecessary is long-standing.

    • Most readers want publishers to label AI-generated articles — but trust outlets less when they do

    Jump

  • And the outlets don't make the connection that their readers are telling them to stop shoveling AI-generated garbage at them?

    Jump

  • It's hard to feel sympathy for people giving money to companies like Ubisoft, Epic and EA. It's not like them being assholes that constantly screw over their customers is a new thing.

    • Amazon taps SpaceX for satellite launch even though Jeff Bezos has his own rocket company

    Jump

  • It's not enough to just own a rocket company... the rocket company also needs to have rockets.

    • Broadcom CEO tells VMWare workers to 'get butt back to office' after completing a $69 billion merger of the two companies

    Jump

  • Should probably have dictated the ultimatum first, before firing anyone, so they could self-select the departures. Then, if it's not enough, cut some more to get the final numbers the manglers want.
