Someone is really trying to get into my steam account from 2009 with only a hour or two of TF2 gameplay.
[QUOTE=colincooke;52618519]For the "verified by Visa" thing I get, my bank asks for three random characters of a password I set up with them when I got my account.[/QUOTE]
The thing is, none of this was set up when I first got the card for whatever reason
Immediately after purchase I'm redirected to "sketchysite.tk" and told to enter a bunch of personal information, which even if it's official looks so obviously like a phishing site it's not even funny
It's no wonder people fall for phishing scams when the (apparently?) official channel for setting that up looks so horrendous and out of place
I hate the fact that X1 Carbons and X1 Yogas exist
My Computer Blue Screens When I Dock It and Flimsy Folding 2101 M.2 SSD Detection Error just [I]look[/I] light and futuristic which means that people [I]gotta[/I] have them over the T460s.
Which weighs the exact same but has a screen that doesn't make you want to wear Eclipse Glasses all the time because of flourescent light reflections as well as not having a systemboard made of kitchen sponge.

Ignoring the funny joke, I was actually considering trying one of these out.
Even with a slow internal connection I would say they'd run pretty well, even seen stuff to backup those claims.

Legitimate payment gateways really shouldn't be taking you to a .tk domain..
[QUOTE=RoboChimp;52618334]Why?[/QUOTE]
Because it's new and different. Colemak was due to someone making a typo on irc, blank keycaps is because some people at work need to look at the keys and it seems like it would be funny. Phone keyboard is purely to reduce dependency on qwerty.

[QUOTE=ichiman94;52608227]I feel you, I have a hard time selling my T420.[/QUOTE]
I got mine for free at a junk day at a hacker space and budgeted $100 towards getting it to working condition. So far, just barely under budget but I got an ssd, hard drive bay, replacement pen and express card to usb. I doubt I'd be able to sell it so the best bet is probably for parts.
[QUOTE=WastedJamacan;52619066]Not caring isn't necessarily the same as being stupid. What I care most about is screen real estate, having as much space to work in as possible. I'll sacrifice and pay less for a 21:9 or 4K screen that has light bleed than pay way more for something with the same resolution and no light bleed.
Sometimes it's a priorities thing.[/QUOTE]No, but anyone who is still connecting a TV up via composite in 2017 is stupid. I just wish manufacturing was at a point where they could make a cheap panel and not have that issue. LCD was meant to be superior to the CRT, but now we have backlight issues and high input latency so much so that they have to measure and put the number on the box so you can tell which one doesn't have that issue.
I just wish they made an LCD that was 100% superior to a CRT in an affordable price range. Over 85hz at max res, no input lag, zero backlight bleed or bad viewing angles. But if I had to pick one, it would be zero backlight bleed. It's a shame Dell's OLED 4k monitor wasn't released in Australia, it's expensive, but I would have saved up for it.

That's the sort of thing my mother would do and you have no idea how much trouble I had trying to explain how to plug in and use a USB scanner.

LCD is flawed by design.
there are many vastly superior alternatives which aren't popular due to the industry stagnation and money making with low R&D.
Wrote an email to my bank today
Feels pretty wild finishing with "Please consider your users"

Or they have no choice.
Thankfully older consoles have things like the framemeister

Oh, that is horrible.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;52620224]Or they have no choice.

Aight so I'm tired of carrying around two power adapters because I constantly switch between two computers, so I'm putting together an adjustable power supply to carry everywhere (at least 70W output @ 16V, ~130W @ 20V).
Any suggestions for reliable (high mating cycles) yet small DC power connectors that can handle 7-10A continuous? The XT30 / XT60 is my waifu but using it for this application seems out of place, so I'm thinking maybe a decently sized barrel jack.

My dad connected a DVD player to a 65 inch OLED TV with RF :hammered:

Back in 2015 when I bought it it was valued $ 390, with 1600x900 panel and quadro gfx, but now nobody will even take it for less than $ 230.
If I really want to get rid of it, the nearest hardware store will only take it for $ 175 mostly due to the shitty hungarian ValueAddedTax which is 27%.

Colemak is going well so far, should have the whole layout memorised by next monday, and apparently back up to full speed in 1-2 months if the internet is be believed.

Did some typeracer to get a solid benchmark just in case I start to lose ability to type in QWERTY over time, kinda surprised that my accuracy actually went up that much since January. Certainly doesn't feel like it has.

Seconded. Pretty much the gold standard in radio gear that needs to be moved around.

Thirded. Our train club recently upgraded all our flimsy Jones plugs to Andersons and will never be looking back. Top notch stuff.

I'm guessing your used market isn't as good as here but over here I wouldn't buy a T420 in pretty much any configuration for 230
Hmm

Why so? What do you suggest then?
Is it that a sandy-bridge i5 isn't worthy nowadays?
Edit: I'm really out of loop regarding how much intel hardware changed and I'm really curious.

You can buy a nice T430 for like $150 nowadays is why.

That's $190 here with 1366x768, 4gb ram and no dgpu. My T420 is superior in terms of ram, screen, and graphics, but oh well, I should just give up then.
