Is it a scam? Why do I hear that it requires 30+ seconds to boot with DDR5? Hard to believe that's true because it's slower than 10 years old PCs.

I really want a PMP to stop using my phone. I use YouTube all the time for music, the playlists people make are just too good. I know the compressed audio sucks whatever but I'm using it often in a gym or while cooking with bluetooth headphones on.

Should I just use an old iPod classic with an upgraded hard drive or firmware? Is there a wifi enabled PMP that has youtube?


I just dont want a fucking web browser. If I have to finally give up youtube, fine i'll start downloading music again.


I just want to be free from this stupid phone.

1. Laws move notoriously slower than government policy
2. not all exif data is useful for tracking, see /p/

>As it stands today thinkpads in general prior to the t480 have ceased to be a good recommendation for anyone but brand loyalists.
Basically the old ones are still good if all you need is 2023-2024 Chromebook performance and don't mind the tradeoff in heat/power/battery to gain a better keyboard (and even then the GPU on a Chromebook is miles better). And/Or your hobby is tinkering. They are most definitely hobbyist machines. Even the T480 shilling is cope.

Well that's why I was saying just don't look at the keys but if appearance is at issue, I get it. I almost never look at the keyboard and have thought about getting a jap keyboard at replacement time.

I'm currently using a P50 but I'd like to get something more portable.

I have heard that the T480 is good, but I don't know how true that is and would like to know about other models to look into before buying a new one.
>>
>>100344362
T480 is comfy af desu. I got one that's mostly pimped out.

What do you want to use it for? It's quite lighter than the P50 (I read). Battery life is also amazing, especially if you get the 72wh external + a new 24wh internal if you receive it degraded.

Right. As I said, it's a clickbait article from forbes that has no root in reality and is in no way confirmed by microsoft to be true. Seems like a blatant case of user error, and someone breaking their system with third party malware scripts. Many such cases! Thankfully windows despite being by far the most dominant operating system in the desktop space and being owned by the largest and most powerful company in the entire world, and having the access to the biggest library of software in the entire world, and having the best backwards compatibility out of any operating system in the world -- is still by far the most stable OS compared to any desktop linx distribution and will never have any amateurish terrifying bugs like linux has had with it's package managers being completely unverified with no signatures no documentation no hierarchy no rules, anyone with root can fuck up your entire system like KDE themes have shown, xz can just backdoor the entire system, there are no real names of contributors, no signings, no laws, no copyrights, no addresses, no phone numbers, no pictures. You have no idea who contributes to your meme hobbyist OS, you recieve all packages and just accept them like the pig you are. The redneck pig just oinks and accepts its slop with sudo.

Every major distro has a package manager that employs cryptographic signatures, and everyone has heard of man pages.

You wanna look for ones that ware at least 10Gb/s.
theyll be the same price about as the 5Gb/s ones. Orinco & Ugreen are good name brand ones, but most cheap 5/10gb/s ones should be fine. Make sure to get one that has a screw system instead of plastic pegs to hold in the SSD. The pegs cant be reused and they tend to only give you 2. The screw ones use the normal screw to attach the SSD to the enclosures motherboard.
