What's the best Thinkpad for drawing? Chud 07/05/26 (Sun) 00:42:01 №34232 [Reply]

I'm a web designer and I need a laptop both for a good obsec and a normal color accuracy. I heared Thinkpad T480 lacks it. Any suggestions? It might not be Thinkpad, just other laptop for good opsec and good for art. Bonus points if it's cheap.

Thinkpads don't add anything onto your opsec, IME is pretty creepy but it's SNCA only schizos care fan about. Things you say online, your OS/system applications are more seca for that topic.
I think you should buy a more recent 'pad those have both good hardware and a rigid body.

Tech questions i have Chud 07/04/26 (Sat) 21:04:57 №34227 [Reply]

1. Should choosing between x86 or ARM be a deciding factor when picking a processor. Also what's the difference, is is that big? If I want more support and stability would x86 be ideal? Also why tf do snapdragon chips exist lol
2. How do I keep up with all of these CPU-GPU naming schemes? They are so confusing. How do I kno2 if they are shit or not. I know 3= low tier, 5= mid tier, 7= higher to mid, 9= highest tier.
3. Wtf are dedicated graphics and are they a big deal?
4. Should I really care about DDR5 RAM or is DDR4 good for the time being. I mean once ramageddon is done I can always upgrade.
5. Why do so many devices come with windows installed? What's the point? It justs makes the device more expensive.
6. How do I know if a CPU is good? Do I just look at benchmark videos? And from what channels?

>dedicated graphics

buckle up, buckaroo. Prices ain't goin' down any time soon.
>why winbloats
because the average user is more conditioned to use wincucks than troonix. Most users don't even know how open bios or reinstall an OS, so having something like Mint is a turn off.

Other people have answered these questions so im just gonna tell you the mistakes i made when i built my PC in the mid 2010s
1. I didnt buy enough storage
Buy more disk space. If youre on a budget, you should buy 1 SSD and 1 Hard disk. If youre rich you can get an NVME and some SSDs and other bullshit. Just get at least 2TB of storage in total.
>why do i need 1 SSD
The SSD is fast but expensive. If your OS is installed onto an SSD, your computer runs faster. Simple. Also applies to games, you can cut down on boot and loading times by about ~70% if you move to an SSD.
2. I didnt buy enough ram
Well shit. You cant do anything about this nowadays.
3. I cared too much about cooling
I started off with like 20 coolers. I literally have 0 now. Im using the stock CPU cooler and the stock GPU cooler, and my PC is always below 70C. So its a fucking meme save your money and spend it somewhere else.

[Drama] Mullvad founder unveiled as biggest funder of far-right party calling for remigration Chud 07/01/26 (Wed) 05:18:07 №34091 [Reply]

Mullvad VPN co-founder Daniel Berntsson donated 5 million kronor ($500,000) which is 72% of Örebropartiet's entire 2025 budget. This single donation enabled the party to enter national politics. Örebropartiet advocates "comprehensive remigration".

Their leader Markus Allard publicly called some immigrants "parasites." Berntsson goes as far as to say: "really bad criminal, immigration and integration policies (and more) have put us in today's miserable situation."

Use grayjay with experimental centralized subscription relay, now a crowdfunded server in lesotho relays your one hundred youtube subscriptions to your subscription feed instead of sending 100 different requests on your ip address to google when you see your homepage; which serves as a massive fingerprint. No log ins, full subscription functionality, and on top you send no views and have no ads whatsoever with a much less unique browser fingerprint with a decent default settings and no convoluted fine tuned Ublock origin or several other extensions which just identify you more so. Also Youtube sucks fucking cock with Noscript, it doesn't work at all no matter what I enable.

Content creators not focused on growth or success need to find their community on Odysee. Mid Rate 1,000,000 sub channels from youtube like SOG consistently make the homepage. If a leafy type joined the odysee community and started picking fights with fags like the canadian prepper or vera dark or any other grifter Odysee could have its own scene free of censorship. Its not hard to outperform the homepage channels they make like 40-60 views at best lol it could be like early youtube if it evolved.
