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
hurr
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
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
therefore you cannot state that it gets rid of ME
but who I am, talking back to a /r/thinkpad mod who doesnt own a thinkpad
there is no such thing as shit meme
@JHWH it gets rid of most of the ME, getting rid of the whole flash region leaves the machine unable to boot as the hardware can't be initialized - it still gets rid of (most of) it and that's all that's possible on hardware above c2d era stuff.
also I dropped my mod position as the owner of the discord is a cunt
Any of you folks know where to get updated Win10 Enterprise installation media? Got the licensing bit covered, just want to install from something more recent than my pre-Ryzen stuff
from the same place you got your license key
Yeah, but it's a real bitch to find things if you don't already know the thread title there.
