I bought both my parents new old machines now that they retired, and I opted for a T480 for both. They’ve been called The Last Great ThinkPad over on r/thinkpad since they are both powerful - first generation with a quad-core processor - and nicely upgradable. The upgradeability also means that you don’t have to worry overly about the amount of RAM a used model has: you can always add more cheaply (and very easily).

Ah, so it’s a prisoner’s dilemma, kinda thing.

Why is half the info on the image some random smiling face?

Condorcet sobs “so close”.

I’m fully keyboard driven in my current editor, the issue is not that. It’s that the symbols I type show up with a noticeable delay. It’s like IRL lag.

plus it is a subscription model.

There is a non-subscription model that also disables the admob tracking.

I am pro-facts

But not nuances, it feels.

If the refresh rate is not higher than the the Onyx Boox Max, then it’s not even good for office work - for me at least, a visible delay between key press and sign showing up is a show stopper.

I have a Onyx Boox Max, an A4 b/w e-ink device. I can’t use that as a screen, due to too low refresh rate. Writing on it with it’s pen is great, but typing on it is horrible. The slight delay breaks the usability.

I don’t know how that stacks against the remarkable 2.

I love that the choruses are all distinct.

Sure you can. That’s why a UV lamp shining at the six 20% solar panels that power it can run your FTL drive.

The Tafkars API might be helpful in that: Tafkars: Reddit-API proxy for Lemmy (help wanted). To quote,

• I’ve been working on a proxy that makes it possible for 3rd party Reddit apps to connect to Lemmy with minimal code changes. Ideally all that’s needed is to swap out the url for that of the proxy. Naturally it’s open source.
