    I've been buying extra food every time I go shopping for a long time now. Tins, bags of rice, long life kind of stuff. My inner prepper is going kinda overdrive right now. But I'm not overly worried about the future. Edit: Sorry I must clarify. I Am worried about the future, just not freakin out yet.

    Yep...looks legit

    Nice. I rather liked those. But to quote The Eagles. "You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave"

    Personally I do not trust politicians. No matter what party.

    I know you must be right. I just didnt dive deep enough to find the information. Soon its all in, no more toes in the water. Yep, extremism, bane of the world!

    Have you seen the movie From Dusk Till Dawn? This is the song thats playing when all hell breaks loose in the ...*(Cant say the name)*.....bar. Awesome movie. I didn't know anything about it before I watched it. Plot twist was a shocker. Clooney, Harvey Keitel, Juliette Lewis, Cheech Marin, Danny Trejo, Quentin Tarantino and Salma

    In one of my previous lives I was a welder/fabricator. Mostly specialising in aluminium welding. I no longer have a workshop or tools but Janktop V4.4 I may try to make with a aluminium case. See how it goes.

    I may have misplaced my floppy disk Just kidding. Cool. Actually when they overhauled Halflife I thought of a lot of old games I would like to replay, like Crysis remastered. I hope someone can do Wing Commander

    Looks great Yes I understand the hinge issue. My alienware (as you know) feels like a tank, never an issue with hinges. The Legion though feels like I could rip the screen off if I was a little too .....enthusiastic. So long as the thermals work out. I can see the Janktop style form factor being my daily driver computer of choice for the future. With something like my lenovo for away games. Until one of the big brands start offering me something I want and not thin and lite diet BGA rubbish with hamstrung components they want to sell...Im just not giving them my money. So work out the hinge flex and take my cash

    The biggest issue I had with a few different flavours of Linux was lack of a control panel (same with windows 10 actually) I couldn't get my head around not being able to see which drivers it was using for what hardware. General setup or change configuration (win 10 really screwed with me trying to hide the control panel ) This was all out of the box linux, no compiling kernels or anything technical. My last experiment was Zorin OS. Based on Ubuntu and looks really similar to windoze. Once I'm more comfortable with command line I might look at other distros. My next 'laptop' will be a Janktop. I will be trying to expunge M$ windows in favour of Zorin at that time. (With a VM windows10 for those softwares that I cant replace immediately)

    You had me stumped with this one. I couldn't find it in any of my dictionaries. I ended up asking a guy I work with (Native Japanese) He had never heard of it either, but. (Yeah I will end that sentence with a preposition ) Ko in front of a noun means its a smaller version. ie Inu is a dog, koinu is a puppy, neko is cat, koneko is kitten. kotako means a small otaku. I guess this means a child otaku, or more likely a 'tween' https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotaku https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotaku コタク Kotaku - is also written in Katakana, which means it is not a native Japanese word. おたく Otaku in Hiragana, Native Japanese word.

    Japanese word is おたく (otaku) It can mean a nerd in general or someone with a consuming passion about something. ie gaming otaku or manga otaku Anyone who bought this would definitely be an otaku

    Rockin out with these two cuties is my fantasy

    For me something like the portable screen/keyboard is ok. If it came in a 17" flavour with full size keyboard. Thats if I wanted a quick (Or maybe just easier) desktop build. But like a lot of people here I like to fix broken things; I like to "fix" things that are not broken; And I love to hotrod my laptop So for me right now the Janktop is my Number 1 choice.
  23. Eban
    Except for the overprice
  24. Eban
    Something like this? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002596633741.html but plugs into a desktop ?
  25. Eban
    @Tenoroon actually I do it all the time. I live in a tiny Japanese apartment and no living room. My bed is my office/lounge. But its just a regular bed I do have the biggest laptop table and a cooler on top of that for my laptops.
