Can we please replace the racist slang? I get that there’s not currently a better single word for superficial janky optimization but I’m sure one of y’all is funny enough to come up with one
This was already a discussion and it was determined no one cares about the term because barely anyone even knows what it’s roots are or sees it that way, everyone thinks “car modding”. Notably neither did Asian users who have been using the term for decades. this is just tone policing for the sake of it, you’re creating problems where there are none
It clearly wasn’t “determined”. Asian users can speak for themselves, they don’t need you to do it for them.
if Asian users can speak for themselves, why do you speak for them?
I don’t, though. Pointing out that something is derogatory doesn’t require the people it’s directed at to have any opinion about it one way or the other.
i very much disagree.
i just bought a thinkpad :3
What vintage? Is it a good year?
11e edu, type is 20DA-S06T00
had computrace, but it removed after a while on wifi
I got it permanently disabled in bios after rpcnet stopped and a reboot
Lol I don’t know much about Thinkpads. I thought it would be funny to ask what year it was made like a fine wine. Especially since there are people out there using Thinkpads from the 90s.
the thighhighs are to prevent burns
real thoooo my lappytop has bad cooling and gets stinkywarm XP
