Just to plug the totally free version here: lichess.org

I love chess puzzles too and chess.com is a really nice app but are we chess dorks super rich or something? Their pricing is crazy IMO.

Edit: .org not .com …

If it’s chill at night then it can be quite nice, if it’s 23°C at night you feel like you are dying all the summer.

Oh man that Monthy python sketch is such a masterpiece!

Hey E4!

Chess is such a great game, it has it all. History, drama, things to learn, things to figure out, attacks! and defences, in an everlasting suite of games…

It’s free online at lichess.org too!

Fun fact ; when you exit the opening sequence (3-4 moves for beginners, 20+ for grandmasters) the game quickly becomes a game never ever played in the entire history.

New challenge every time!

You almost only need the tension prybar + like 2-3 pins IMO. U bought a whole kit (cheap) and I use only the orybar + one of the pins.

Sorry police officer, but the door was open ajar so hrem I just wanted to check if everything was alright you see?

Had a guy just being mind blown for the whole evening lock picking my way into my apartment, and then open some lock he had on his luggage (all very basic).

Saw him a year later when I had forgot about it and he still was startled about the evening 😁😅

Forth?

Dude!

Yeah we believe you. But where do you store them?

Are you planning on some specific communities or “just” a server for anyone to join and use?

Same here, so I started an “art” server. We’ll see how it fares.

And every 400 year we don’t add the extra day, except every 2000 year when we do it anyway.

The point was that in the future it will be easy to set up surveillance cameras

Today it might be as much a hassle as to assemble a micro computer in the eighties, but I bet it will be one as easy as filming with your mobile phone in the future.

You should check out Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. It takes it a bit further …

Apparently the “older” ones like T480 had crappy screens and it changed with, tada! , the T490 generation q. I’m quite happy with mine to be honest. I got a french keyboard, thinking about getting the US one with that Big return key :-D but I’m curious about what your “retrofitted classic keyboard” is (it appears it is quite simple to change the keyboard on ThinkPad)?

Excluding GPU extensive operations a used ThinkPad is so good and cheap it’s incredible.

Bought a T490 16GB 512GB for 260€ … I think my desktop will be used less and less …

We’ll surely invent something even worse ;-)

Personally I hate induction, or more the implementation I have been exposed to of it, no physical buttons and 1 drop of water will zero out everything :-/
