Not to repeat myself from when I saw this posted last, but:

Seeing thinkpads running Windows feels just wrong.

[-] Fox@pawb.social 39 points 2 months ago

They do tend to start out that way, until they come off-lease and have Arch installed on them by a Blåhaj-clutching, thigh-high-wearing FOSS enjoyer

You use a graphical environment? Sissy.

Like 90% of professional laptops in America are this exact set up? I have one sitting on my table right now. You Linux people seem to think there are a lot more of you than there are.

It's true. There's a lot of wickedness in this world.

Were aware we're the minority. But still to see it confirmed in real life 😅

I love my ThinkPad, but that's mostly because of the TrackPoint

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 59 points 2 months ago

Good thing they all use the same laptop! I sense a high level of truth here /s

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 months ago

Are you suggesting that this person may not actually be admitting to several crimes openly on twitter

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I have my doubts

[-] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

They obviously all work at the same company, or even department, you conspiranoic!

As if finance guys would have ThinkPads and not macs

[-] lqdrchrd 34 points 2 months ago

Work in finance, have a thinkpad

[-] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

IT doesn't count.

[-] Twentytwodividedby7@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Macs are useless for Finance

[-] idefix@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

In my past 20 years in investment banks, i saw only one a guy with a Mac. He was in communication. Everybody got a Thinkpad X, T or X1 Carbon for the execs.

The only person I know working in finance couldn't even afford their own ThinkPad. In fact, they are a bit malnourished as they can't even afford food some of the time. But they do live in this big, mostly empty house, which I could never afford in my entire lifetime, and towards mortgage for which most of their money goes. Something-something appreciating assets yada-yada

By her own math, this would be slightly more than one week’s worth of stolen laptops. So…

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago

I wonder what kind of shenanigans you could get up to with a rack of 30+ thinkpads linked as a cluster computer...

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

"...It runs Doom!!"

[-] jodanlime@midwest.social 5 points 2 months ago

I have some SFF computers I plan on doing this to when the weather turns to crap.

[-] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Excel stops crashing

That's one hell of a felony

[-] BossDj@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

One fell of a helony

“My company got a load of laptops in, wonder kind of cool sm post I can make with ‘em before I deploy ‘em…

I got it!”

[-] PirateMike94@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

So, are thinkpads actually good laptops, or are they just cheap and companies buy them in bulk?
