I don’t know when or how, but it seems in my lifetime we went from that. Having corporations that just did something well and left it at that to this idiotic grow or die mentality that seems to be fueled by investor ROI.

I think I remember that app? I’m going to have to go look that up. It’s shocking what one forgets in a quarter of a century.

Galaxy Xcover series.

Reported an issue with the name. I know I’m shouting into the void on this but a small poke in the eye makes me feel better.

To be fair, most/all kernels are written on a hardware abstraction layer, although lot of that kernel was built off of VMS… 😂

Didn’t NT 3.x or 4.x run on a RISC CPU back in the day?

Great post, thanks!

Thanks! There a few that I hadn’t heard about!

I read about it yesterday morning and my school district sent out an email The same evening. I believe had it not been published they would have stayed quiet.

I’m pretty sure IBM sold the branding to them since they were already doing the manufacturing. They still do the warranty/maintenance work, though based on the last two call outs I’ve had with their “techs” I might opt for depot repairs or taking it to the local Micro Center for warranty work.

I’ve always enjoyed the production/processing on it. It’s an amazingly well mixed album for the time, I’ve never checked but I’d believe there is minimal clipping in it.

I’m hopeful for an official SteamOS update (cross grade? 🤔) for the Legion GO.

I appreciate being able run Steam on it, but I feel like I could probably get a little bit better experience with it running on bare metal. Sometimes the joycons are wonky…

True! T series or P series are much better made. I’d also advise heading over to Lenovo support site and checking the service manual for any machine you’re interested in, just to make sure that the features you may want to upgrade are upgradable.

I’ve noticed Lenovo doing a lot of SOC style systems ala Apple where your RAM is one and done. It’s mostly been on the thin/light segment but…

My biggest complaint has been the fact that they don’t put the USB C inputs on a daughter card. I don’t know what the cost savings is, but I literally had two machines that users had killed the USB on that spent close to 10 months waiting on parts for a warranty repair.

This is the way.
