Man, your basement has the weirdest carpet I've ever seen. Also, much too bright for my taste. If you can see the keycaps without backlight, you're doing the lighting wrong.

User not seen touching grass
linux users not being able to touch grass without bringing along their emotional support thinkpad. smh
Congratulations you now have some free bugs on-board
Careful, that's how you get bugs in your code.
I wouldn't want to put the air intakes of my Thinkpad directly on the grass like that. It's bound to suck in dirt.
it was for about 6 seconds the thinkpad is unharmed i promise
I mean at that point there's probably blades of grass going through the fans
As long as you’re not running something that gets the CPU going crazy I doubt you’d suck in any I Dirt.
That's a pretty epic thibkpad
It's L14, not T14. My mom has one for(EDIT: at) work and the bottom cover is cracked. It would be fine if she didn't use a 6-year old HP (also fuck HP), which is somehow still in mint condition.
Yes, a HP beats an L series ThinkPad in durability (but this is only anecdotal evidence, I have no idea if this is widespread).
i dont treat my thinkpad gently (photo as evidence), and it is in perfect condition after a year, throwing it in my school backpack daily, getting tossed around, getting hit and bumped countless times, on top of what it experienced before i got it (it was second hand from some business) i wouldn't say its very fragile. sure, its no T series thinkpad, but L series seems to be overhated.
Cool, so it's way more durable than my Latitude 5290. I had my bottom cover screw inserts break when opening it. And the bottom panel is cracked in multiple locations. Also, recently had to reglue a display hinge, since it's just glued on the plastic top panel via a metal extension (it also broke the bezel which I had to plastic-weld to reinstall it). But I also use the display frame as a handrest so it was doomed to fail. Also, I had to reglue or replace most of the rubber housing parts. Here's my poor little laptop:
I kinda feel bad for this laptop coming into my aggressive hands.
I would recommend a Dell Latitude, but expect problems if you mistreat it like me. It isn't a T430 or T440p, which survive everything.
Edit: the green spot on the photo isn't a spot on the camera, it's a plastic-weld. Yes, it's all screwed with in weird ways, all by me.
Also, your laptop is in great condition, don't worry about it, you treat it above-average-ly, unlike me.
my friend had a pretty expensive/high-end hp laptop, got Hinge Problems after a few years of usage.
Yep, I would expect her laptop to be in the same or worse condition, if it was mine.
It's build quality is practically nonexistent and if we expect the interiour to be like other HPs I disassembled, it's probably hollow without any board protection whatsoever. Also, the fans are almost always full speed, even on moderate to low load (of the some gen of ryzen 5 which is actually decent).
An elitebook, maybe. But not all HPs are made equal. Just like Lenovos.
Bro thinks he can screenshot grass from outside on manjaro
I actually installed grass on my pc yesterday. But qgis sadly doesn't find it. I'll look into it when I find the time.
And now an obligatory:
$ touch grass
The nerd inside me automatically wants to correct that to
$ > grass
That avoids starting up one addidtional process.
(Unless the file already exists, and you just want to update its mtime, of course.)
Now even your code has ticks. Nice...
I honestly do not get why "touch grass" became a common phrase/meme around a decade after many people got mobile Internet access (through smartphones).
Before that, it would have made sense because you'd usually only be posting on the Internet when you're somewhere inside where there's a computer; but now that we can literally be posting online while lying on grass?! How did this happen?
I bought an L13 off Facebook, had 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. Within two months the (soldered in) RAM went bad. Memtest86+ found 1300+ errors 😐
