| rick_h_ | damn I can't wait for those thinkpads to come out. I can't type on laptops at coffee shops with these damn touchpads. | 14:39 |
|---|---|---|
| rick_h_ | just can't help touching it with my breath or something | 14:39 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 14:47 |
| cmaloney | I think the first one is out | 14:47 |
| rick_h_ | orly? which? | 14:47 |
| cmaloney | Ars mentioned it and I noticed it in the shop | 14:47 |
| cmaloney | The i5 / i7 model | 14:48 |
| cmaloney | X1 Carbon | 14:48 |
| rick_h_ | OH! | 14:48 |
| cmaloney | Thought you'd have ordered it by now. :) | 14:48 |
| rick_h_ | jcastro: it's out already man | 14:48 |
| rick_h_ | well I was debating the x250 vs x1 carbon | 14:48 |
| jcastro | yeah | 14:48 |
| rick_h_ | I miss my docking station/etc | 14:48 |
| rick_h_ | and 14" is kind of big | 14:48 |
| rick_h_ | used to my 11/12/13 | 14:49 |
| cmaloney | That's OK, they've reinvented external peripherals | 14:49 |
| rick_h_ | but damn | 14:49 |
| * cmaloney is listening to Karl Bartos - 15 Minutes of Fame | 14:49 | |
| * cmaloney loves this album | 14:49 | |
| cmaloney | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MARmAG9Is4s <- if you like Kraftwerk this is one of the members | 14:50 |
| cmaloney | (former members from 1970s-1980s era Kraftwerk) | 14:50 |
| rick_h_ | oh hell yea, you can get the nicer resultion without touch!!!! | 14:51 |
| rick_h_ | lenovo I <3 you | 14:51 |
| cmaloney | Oh that's awesome. | 14:51 |
| rick_h_ | ordered, done | 14:55 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 14:55 |
| cmaloney | I would have piped up sooner but thought you had already ordered a crate | 14:55 |
| rick_h_ | nope, didn't see them yet | 14:56 |
| rick_h_ | and was going to debate the x1 vs the x250 | 14:56 |
| rick_h_ | but $#@$@# it | 14:56 |
| cmaloney | Well regardless I'm glad you're back to Thinkpads | 14:56 |
| cmaloney | though the new Dell has the screen you've been asking for | 14:56 |
| cmaloney | minimal bezel | 14:56 |
| rick_h_ | yea, saw the new dell but it's not trackpoint | 14:56 |
| cmaloney | 13" screen in 11" | 14:56 |
| rick_h_ | not I can have a freaking awesome high res screen + trackpoint I'll take it | 14:57 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, figured since the Thinkpads were "Back" it wasn't worth mentioning. :) | 14:57 |
| brousch__ | No touch?! What is this, 2013? | 14:57 |
| rick_h_ | /not/now | 14:57 |
| rick_h_ | well sitting here athe coffee shop writing a spec doc watching the text go into a dozen different places as I bump the dippy pad | 14:57 |
| cmaloney | brousch__: Keep your filthy mammal-digits off my screen | 14:57 |
| brousch__ | I will. I use my own screen! | 14:57 |
| rick_h_ | man I wish I could figure out how to use my N9 without my fingers. Every time I see the screen I have to bring out a new wipe before I can use it | 14:59 |
| rick_h_ | 2560x1440 boom | 15:00 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Heh | 15:02 |
| cmaloney | It's good to have the "old" rick_h_ back | 15:07 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 15:07 |
| cmaloney | Seeing you with a Dell was akin to seeing someone trying to enjoy a plate of celery | 15:08 |
| jcastro | rick_h_, well that settles it | 15:11 |
| jcastro | x250 is limited to 8gb of ram | 15:11 |
| rick_h_ | jcastro: wtf is it? | 15:11 |
| rick_h_ | jcastro: I mean it bugs me not since I run light weight I hardly cross 4 even with lxc work and such | 15:11 |
| rick_h_ | but that still seems :( | 15:11 |
| jcastro | it's 2015 | 15:11 |
| jcastro | 4gb is minimum | 15:11 |
| jcastro | I mean, I buy 8gb minimum and THEN add on another 4gb just for chrome | 15:12 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 15:12 |
| jcastro | but ram prices were cheaper back then | 15:12 |
| DrDaemonEye | cmaloney: I thought you hung around #lj enough to know we don't *eat* celery | 15:16 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 15:31 |
| jrwren | limited to 8gb of ram... because that is what macbook air does. | 15:44 |
| * DrDaemonEye is limited to a calm, 4gb of ram | 16:25 | |
| brousch__ | For some reason everyone is soldering RAM on now | 18:23 |
| brousch__ | It must save a lot of cost/size/weight vs slots | 18:23 |
| _stink_ | or it makes you buy a whole new machine | 18:28 |
| _stink_ | BASTARDS | 18:28 |
| jrwren | i think it is mostly for space saving. makes the things that much thinner and lighter. | 18:47 |
| rick_h_ | yea, blame mobo makers for not supporting > 8gb per slot? | 18:51 |
| brousch__ | It was really tight in my miix 2 11 | 18:51 |
| * rick_h_ doesn't know where the limitation came from | 18:51 | |
| brousch__ | I had to remove 4 little boards to replace the msata ssd | 18:52 |
| cmaloney | I think Apple made it fashionable again to solder things onto the mobo | 18:52 |
| cmaloney | since most folks won't open up their laptop / tablet to take a peek | 18:52 |
| cmaloney | And they can ding you an extra $20 for the RAM upgrade | 18:52 |
| jrwren | only $20? | 19:02 |
| cmaloney | Well, however much more they charge | 19:03 |
| cmaloney | Well here's a nice holy shit: http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/01/worlds-first-known-bootkit-for-os-x-can-permanently-backdoor-macs/ | 21:50 |
| cmaloney | Though I suspect that anything that tampers with EFI / UEFI is the vector-du-jour for physical compromise. | 21:51 |
