Im as quick as the next guy to hate on new technology but I recently got this new thinkpad and since it uses USB-C for charging, i can use the same charger for my Phone, Earbuds and Laptop. Not too long ago this would've been unthinkableMarked for deletion (Old)
i wish i had a laptop :(
>>142480youre not missing out on much so far ive spent an hour trying to remove all the stupid bloatware from windows. thank you (((free markets))) for creating the best product for consumers!
>remove all the stupid bloatware from windowsthat's impossible because Windows is bloatware (and spyware). try installing linux, el retardo. "b-but I need windows for-" don't care. dual boot then. there's no excuse for using this piece of shit OS 100% of the time. >(((free markets)))4chan is back up, you can go back now
>>142483>dual boot thenthats been my plan from the start, my university requires windows though so i have to keep it on my machine and configure it for programming>4chan is back up, you can go back now cry about it
how can university force you to use proprietary software?please please don't dualboot(;´Д`)install gentoo on luks instead!(・∀・)
Windows is the best and theres no reason to switch to linux now that we have WSL
So Me-tan won't tell papa Billy about things you done to her, but Ichika-chan were raised differently Damn modernity!
There are 300 different usb-c form factors. I can't charge my old phone with my new phone charger or vice-versa even though it's all usb-c. Also usb-c very easily detaches and the connections are pretty sensitive, which makes it less than ideal for serious use.For charging, the best port is the barrel port. It's the most robust and it can totally also be universal, there's nothing preventing this but, as you said, how bad modern tech is with things like that.Even if we ignore all that, you're not talking about tech at all, you're talking about standardization, which is a totally different and unrelated topic. The advent of standards is always a mixed bag. One the one side at least there is, well, a standard. On the other, almost always, the worst technology is chosen as the harbinger.Also enjoy your shitty chinkpad that cost 2x what the equivalent macshit costs while being built worse than a $200 shitbook. You wanted new tech, have at it.
