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