Does anyone here own a Thinkpad? [17:30] i own a x121e [17:30] My current laptop is a 2011 Apple MacBook Air 13, which is in pretty bad condition. I think it's time for an upgrade. [17:30] and a t510 [17:31] Fusl: What are your thoughts on the X280? Do you recommend me go for T480 or something instead? [17:32] afaict, you cant upgrade memory? [17:33] yeah, its soldered [17:33] X280 has onboard soldered memory. I'm going to invest in the 16 GB model. [17:33] imho, go with something that supports upgrading up to 64gb memory [17:33] ive made the mistake and got a laptop myself that only supports 32gb [17:34] Oh, to better manage VMs, right? [17:34] And more Docker containers? [17:34] my vms are actually very slim [17:34] problems are chrome, telegram, keybase, atom and electron based apps [17:35] Oh, right. [17:35] Keybase does hoard memory, you're right. [17:35] This is why I use none of those things. [17:35] *** erin has joined #archiveteam-ot [17:36] oh and discord [17:36] The memory usage's just ridiculous. [17:36] JAA: Do you share your public PGP keys? [17:36] *** voltagex has joined #archiveteam-ot [17:37] *** jrwr has joined #archiveteam-ot [17:37] *** Fusl sets mode: +o jrwr [17:38] Fusl: What are your thoughts on the new Thinkpad T495 model with an AMD Ryzen mobile CPU and AMD Vega GPU? [17:38] I don't think AMD has the license to support the Thunderbolt 3 spec, so I won't be able to use external GPUs. [17:39] also soldered ram and only 8gb option available? [17:39] *** astrid has joined #archiveteam-ot [17:39] *** Fusl sets mode: +o astrid [17:39] You have to press 'Next' to see the upgraded models, or press 'Customize' to add it. [17:40] I think I am going to try to get a used one from eBay. [17:40] *** MrRadar has joined #archiveteam-ot [17:41] And how about the ThinkPad P series? [17:41] https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/c/LAPTOPS [17:41] I have a thinkpad T480s from work [17:41] It's good enough [17:41] But then a core i7 / 64G / triple 24" desktop [17:41] which I use mostly [17:42] I have the option of the P1, P52, or P72. [17:42] Igloo: Does that have onboard soldered memory? [17:42] Not a scooby do. [17:42] Work paid for it, I use it. [17:42] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHBuyu_Dy3k [17:42] I'd say not. [17:43] Maybe single dimm though? [17:43] I was thinking, maybe I can use a thin and light laptop and VNC to a desktop workstation. That would mean I would need a good wireless internet connection when using the laptop. [17:43] t3: in all honesty, i'm probably the worst person around to give advice on buying hardware. i just buy different brands and then go with the one that i like the most while hoarding all the other ones [17:44] I'm going to get the new macbook [17:44] Igloo: It has 8 GB onboard soldered and a single DDR4 DIMM slot. [17:44] so again pretty shit [17:48] I'm going to switch my daily driver operating system from macOS to Arch Linux, but Apple has some pretty steep walls making it difficult for me to escape the Apple ecosystem. I'd like to leave the 'walled-garden' sooner rather than later, so that is why I'm gravitating towards brands like Lenovo and Dell. [17:49] *** dhyan_nat has joined #archiveteam-ot [17:56] I've heard the following: MacBooks have great trackpads and displays, but horrible keyboards. They also have weak-sauce specs and are overpriced, however it comes with the visual novelties of macOS. [17:56] ThinkPads have great keyboards, decent trackpads, useful 'TrackPoint' pointing sticks, but not the greatest displays. The X1 Carbon and X1 Extreme lineup are high sought after, however battery life is a down-side and they're a bit pricy. The ThinkPad P series have mediocre displays. [17:58] Dell has the XPS line with good displays, decent keyboards and trackpads. The battery life is fine. The Dell Precision lineup also have mediocre displays unless I get the more expensive upgraded models. [17:59] The pointy stick on mine [17:59] Keeps tracking off to one side even when not pushed. [17:59] But that's not unique. [18:00] Additionally, DRAM prices have been pretty high the past few years. [18:00] FUCKING SSL IS DOING MY HEAD IN [18:00] ¬_¬ [18:00] Just work you POS [18:03] So Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung may have been colluding to increase profits. [18:03] Quite happy with the my T450s except it doesn't support coreboot due to Intel Boot Guard. I think I'd look into Purism if I were to buy one nowadays. [18:04] That makes me angry, since I want laptops with 256 GB of low-power DRAM. [18:04] Purism? [18:04] https://puri.sm/ [18:04] Oh I see. I will check it out. [18:11] Oh man. It's a bit pricy seeing as the hardware is not up-to-date. [18:12] It would be nice to have a laptop with upgradable CPUs again. And GPUs. [18:18] 2.054,00 EUR [18:18] Whoops.

[21:17] Oh, I see him in the channel list now [21:17] Not sure how I missed that lol [21:18] Anyway, ping me when you see this godane. It's about that Japanese gaming magazine you posted about earlier here. [21:21] Purism seems nice yeah [21:22] t3: There are some other laptop manufacturers with the same open source approach as Purism, but smaller price tags: https://libreboot.org/suppliers.html [21:25] *** dhyan_nat has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [21:27] hey icedice [21:30] Did you see my messages a few days ago? [21:33] no [21:34] Ok, I'll copy pasta it [21:34] The initial, less relevant stuff: [21:34] Surugaya is a chain of stores selling used magazines (along with DVD, CDs, and games) in Japan. They only have small size scans of covers. [21:34] There is another large chain of stores called Mandarake that also sell used magazines. Their scans are much, much better and they usually also scan the table of contents in addition to the cover + maybe some random pages: https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/ [21:35] The good stuff: [21:35] I have a friend who knows Japanese and has an interest in Japanese gaming magazines, so I copy pasted your discussion to him [21:35] He replied: [21:35] I couldn't find anything, but Japanese magazine archiving seems to be a lot less common than US etc. [21:35] It might be the guy scanning mags himself + supplementing his collection with what's found on English sites. [21:35] It seems he's interested in digitizing and making PDFs of retro game magazines, best chance may be to try contacting him by email? [21:35] probably would be worth being careful at least though [21:35] as an anecdote, with some Japanese SNES satellite games... [21:35] there was a similar blog which obviously had ROMs of games that were never shared [21:35] contacted by US fans and at first they shared some, but then got upset and cut off all contact [21:36] so now there's some iirc ~10 games, even popular ones like Kirby, which the only screenshots etc are from a blog which won't [21:36] release them [21:41] i email that guy and got nothing back [21:44] also screenshots from full scans from somewhere: https://retoge-mag.hatenablog.com/entry/2019/05/28/232417 [21:44] that one is from retromags [21:45] *** BlueMax has joined #archiveteam-ot [21:47] Ok [21:47] He might not even know English that well [21:48] Then there's the whole demographic of people who don't want to respond to Internet strangers contacting them in foreign languages [21:48] If you want to track down and import the original magazine I might be able to help you with that though [21:49] I have some experience in that area [21:49] i'm trying find the pdfs online vs scanning them myself [21:49] How many magazines are you looking for? [21:51] i'm looking for any magazines of POPCOM, Login, etc [21:51] basicly any 1980s or 1990s computer magazines from japan [21:58] icedice: good news is someone is doing this magazine : https://archive.org/details/@miralita [22:04] Ok, let me know if you or someone else want help with finding physical copies of them at some point [22:37] *** phiresky has quit IRC (Quit: The Lounge - https://thelounge.chat) [22:38] *** Atom has joined #archiveteam-ot [22:38] *** BlueMax has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [23:03] *** Zerote has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [23:10] *** Hani has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 615 seconds) [23:10] *** Hani has joined #archiveteam-ot [23:16] kiska: Looks like transfer.sh has yet another filename encoding bug.
