It all depends on what God will grant us for CES
if only they were faster at it
i kind of want that new setup already
waiting for 11th day will be painfull
specialy if the prices go up as result (very very very unrealistic :D )
Why?
If Amd even so slightly flops on their announcements, prices will definitly not go down
but them going up significantly would need quite clusterfuck
to the tier of "umm our warehouses and factorys all burned down.. so yeah.. no new chips for some time to markets"
Literally housefire
also i wonder if i should just bite the bullet and get new GPU all in one go
64 vega is quite low and already is 2x upgrade
I refuse to buy a thinkpad newer than a T420
I own a T420
But even this thing is a pain in the ass because you can't get rid of the ME
I plan on getting a pirate flasher after I get better at my soldering skills, so I can put coreboot on this
I'm now on a W541. Keyboard is ok, it runs Linux and just werks :^)
I use lubuntu on these because I'm a tard
>whats a soic clip
I forgot all about those
brb ordering flasher to fuck up my winbond chip
coreboot wont get rid of ME
The only benefits that coreboot would give me, is support for Ivy Bridge, and 16GB RAM at most. Don't think it's worth it with a T420
I'm comfy with 8GB
you can have 16gb without coreboot
just plug in two 8GB, aint that hard
oof.
better buy a computer from ministry of freedom if you want to store your delicious cheese pizza *securely*
what else is linux good for anyway
making life harder
If Linux makes your life harder, don't use it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Was sarcasm, I actually like using it.
>you can't get rid of the ME
me_cleaner hours
and the t420 can do 16GB just not 16GB + eGPU
eGPU is a shit meme anyway
I was considering eGPU until I got an actual PC.
Then I was like
Why would I run around with a fucking ribbon cable coming out of my expresscard slot when I can just play shit on my desktop
me cleaner does not get rid of all proprietary blobs
