So, next year if I happen to pass my exams I might enter college, IT degree.
Obviously for that I need a laptop, and I was thinking of a Thinkpad. Problem is they are really expensive.
Any ideas where I could get a refurbished model?
Still need a use for my Raspberry Pi, I don't have any Wifi solution for it right now so there's not much I could do.
Why the fuck is there not a setting in Skype to stop it from being in the taskbar? I have to set it to run in XP compatibility mode every time it updates.
[QUOTE=Levelog;46028012]Is the x220 decent at all? Keep looking back to it while looking at T420's[/QUOTE]
Was alright to hold and handle but I never got the chance to actually experience how fast or slow it is. Because the one I had, the battery wouldn't charge and could only run off the AC adapter.
Got refunded, bought an X230 instead. Without the battery issue, you'd like it.

Well, the T420 is pretty cool
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;46030540]As a T61 user, its shit.
No battery life, it overheats and its slow as balls.
Still, it was a good purchase when I was a poor student and couldn't afford anything else.[/QUOTE]
And the hinges are absolute shit.
Which thinkpads are the best for around 600 GBP? hopefully with an i5 and 8GB of ram if I can.
In case people didn't know. Then Oculus Connect - Keynote' livestream is starting here in 2 minutes!

So if I press Capslock+shift my keyboard either dies (and comes back after a few seconds) or the PC bluescreens. Great.

I don't know why but i just tested to see if it'd bluescreen me too :v:
Didn't obviously, how the fuck are you managing that?
New Oculus Rift prototype.
Apparently if you have games on a 2nd steam library, it completely breaks sourcemods, which have to be on the same physical drive to work
Well, back to the old mklink /D method
Oculus is going to be an official platform on Unity 5, and there'll be a free addon for doing Oculus games with Unity 5.
You can grab the free version of Unity 5, and make an Oculus game with it.
That's interesting, to say the least.
That's a fairly big push for the platform.

they were losing loads of people to UE4 because the oculus stuff was locked to Unity-Pro
1920x1080 is small, but looks great on my 20 inch 900p monitor.

Seems like I had too many USB devices plugged in or something, disconnecting some seemed to fix it.
fuck, you can't hear the question. I hate when that happens

(Oculus keynote)
I didn't watch from the beginning, I hope the VODs will be up soon after it ends.
Listening to Carmack whilst in bed, in a dark room, whilst wandering around the line between consciousness and sleeping, is one of the best things in this universe.

Updated AMD drivers
Both displayport outputs stop outputting anything other than a black screen
Business as usual

Only time i've heard him talk was in a video about RAGE.
