  • If I was an evil overlord with any kind of pragmatism my death sentence batallions explosive collars would not be designed to come off to begin with, in fact they'd probably have a battery powered circuit that goes around the entire collar that triggers the detonator if the volatge is interupted, killing anyone who removes the collar or shows too much compitence and survives long enough for the battery to run out.

  • A completely pragmatic soultion with minnimum effort to implement and no R&D cost? Sounds completely useless for generating value for shareholders.

  • I wonder if Luigi in SM64 and other games was also a product of memory constraints as some of these games did omit him for that reason specifically and thus presumably had initially been intended to include him before the memory issues came up. If that's true he may have shown up in very early marketing material and spawned the legends.

  • I felt like the thunderhead was pretty great but had its flaws, it was wayyyy too comfortable with destroying non-human life even if it did it in a pragmatic way.

  • Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops

    Jump

  • So to go down the bullet point list:

    • Swappable battery: I'm going to assume its a generic battery and therefore the best possible option here since I know some (a lot of) laptops have weird proprietary batteries. Point for Thinkpad.
    • Industry standard m.2: Even notebooks can do this.
    • Easy keyboard replacement: This looks like a lock in? Of the laptops I've seen where you can swap the keyboard, which is actually quite a few but in a really dodgy looking way, the keyboards look very different from this. Point for looking WAY easier but might take it away again if this keyboard really is proprietary.
    • Swappable memory: I'll give you that many notebooks solder this in but its easy to find a regular laptop with swappable memory.
    • Streamlined display repairs: Much like the keyboard this looks awesome and WAY less jank than normal way you have to do it but it also looks like a proprietary part.
    • Modular cooling system: I don't really know enough to say on this one, most laptops have a cooling system you can take out with similar form factors but I doubt they'd work well with random parts from other machines, then again I doubt this laptop would work well with random parts from other laptops either so your still probably locked into buying the correct one from ThinkPad.
    • Modular ports: This is actually pretty awesome, though again where else am I even going to get these modular ports.

    Ultimately its still good, the stuff that's already common has been made way easier and some new options have opened up for repair and replacement, I can't really blame thinkpad for being the only ones providing this hardware when they're the only ones making a laptop that would use it in the first place, its still an ecosystem lock in to a degree though even if its not an intentional one. It would be nice to see some competition in the space.

  • Ok but how long is it going to be supported? If they abandon the idea its just a particularly expensive regular laptop, even if they keep supporting it you're locked into ThinkPads ecosystem. It's not truly repairable until its a standard that doesn't rely on the benevolence of a single company.

  • Nobody knows how the whole system works

  • I mean the alternative is to be like octopi, intelligent but forever stuck in the beginning of the stone age due to a lack of ability to aggregate and accumulate knoweldge over time.

  • Nobody knows how the whole system works

    Jump

  • But that's the strength of society to begin with, no one person knows how any given complex system works because its impossible for one person to know, we come together in specialised groups to create these systems over time with the collective knoweldge of many people.

  • Wasn't it recently proven that the metals introduced into the upper atmosphere by satellites burning up depletes ozone? Its not a problem yet but maintaining constellations on the scale of cumulative several gigawatts of data centre would leave several tons of satellite burning up every single day. CFC Ozone hole is gonna look like a cloudy day in comparison.
