Curved screen?
Mechanical keyboard?
Weighs a million pounds?
It's a goddamn Osborne. :v:

What's the difference?
[QUOTE=Levelog;50979834]What's the difference?[/QUOTE]
Quite a bit? Asus is more comparable to Alienware these days.
This thing is more like that MSI laptop that has a mechanical keyboard, but dumber.

One is an overpriced piece of shit.
The other is just shit.

Just to double check, the Dropbox breach only got salted/hashed passwords, right? Nothing easily crackable by itself?
Ofc I'm still going to change my password, kinda have to anyways, but I just wanted to make sure.

Half are salted SHA1, half are unsalted bcrypt
[editline]31st August 2016[/editline]
Not entirely true, the salt is just included with the username + password of the bcrypt hashes so something like a rainbow table won't even work
[editline]31st August 2016[/editline]
I mean I guess you [b]could[/b] but it would involve hashing every single password you want to try with every single salt in the list to make your table

Basically don't have your password be 1234 or password1 and you're golden
[QUOTE=Levelog;50976710]I was about to put an X1 Carbon screen into my T420 before it got stolen. Would've been perfect.[/QUOTE]
If you want another, I think I'm ready to part ways with my T420. It's got the cancer screen, the UltraBay is broken, but other than that still a T420

Nah I went and bought a Latitude 6430U afterwards. It's pretty fantastic.

Wow I never knew Acer started making tacticool shit like this. I thought that laptop has to be from Alienware at first glance because of how much of a joke it was

It has a neato dragon on it too. I would have thought it was a MSI product at first glance
Yeah first thing that came to mind was MSI

Mmm, the 9010 was my old work PC. Pretty much that exact i7/16gb/AMD system but with an SSD. I'd eat up all 16gb RAM with the browser tabs and shit I'd have open but it took it like a champ across 3 1080p screens.[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty happy. My taskbar on a 1080P screen would almost be full with all the shit I have open at work. I can finally run more than 2 monitors, actually up to 5 now. It felt extremely quick, though I have a feeling the web GUI on an ePMP radio is still going to be slow as fuck, it just won't bog down the entire machine.
All that said, I'm still very impressed with how usable Core 2 Duos are in day to day use. It's no wonder why PC / laptop sales have gone down, regular people don't really run into slowdowns unless their machine is overrun with malware.

Ironically, lack of GPU acceleration is what kills older systems the most. Give it a cheap $30 graphics card and they fix tons of UI stutter and video playback issues.
You would be surprised how usable a Northwood Pentium 4 is if you give it a "modern" AGP GPU and 4 GB of RAM. You could do average day to day tasks, hell even watch youtube at 480p.
The ticker said I was mentioned.

love it when my laptop reaches full power and fucking slices through my torso like an HL2 sawblade
Three display interfaces, Ethernet, Thunderbolt and no less than two school jacks? Who the hell designed this?
I just paid $15USD for 3 days of WiFi. Well, at least it's somewhat better than on the cruise when unlimited Satellite Internet is like $30USD/day. Too bad I have to actually be near the router (which is in a building near the docks that I can still get to without stepping off the boat).
Hotel WiFi is awful
[QUOTE=Del91;50981451]Hotel WiFi is awful[/QUOTE]
I agree, Hotel wifi is typically awful. It's even worse when the hotel is a reception black hole and you loose reception the second you get close to the door to the hallway when in your room. I try to use LTE when possible but sometimes it just doesn't want to work.
It's not even hotel wifi I'm using right now, it's wifi for tourists who want wifi at some locations in the country. It only covers the dockyard, surrounding areas of that, and the main city in the country I'm visiting (aka Burmuda). It's dodgy, slow and each time you connect to another router, you have to log back in. Every. Single. Fucking. Time. It's advertised as blazing fast, which is total bs.
In other news, I'm pretty happy that you can change the MAC address on a Mac so easily. I just changed it to my phones MAC address so I can use the WiFi on two devices while only paying for one.
Also I just noticed that flagdog indicates where you posted from instead of where you crated your account from anymore. Neat.
I got a recruiter interested in me from a job at NightOwl Security. Folks who make a lot of those surveillance systems. Emailed me while I was at my normal job at like 9pm sitting next to the boss parsing through a mindfuck of a music video we're doing with stock video like normal.

It's like a Nintendo DS but bigger, without the buttons or front facing speakers.

It's the long awaited refresh to IBM's TransNote. The idea initially was brilliant but just too expensive to be really successful.

This looks great for video editing on the go if you really need that ultrawide.
