Spent the last 3 months getting requirements for computer upgrades. After that picked out some decent laptops. (Thinkpad L and T series)

Nothing fancy, but I’m just tired of diagnosing problems with previous sysadmin purchased Vostro laptops.

After getting quotes from multiple vendors, finally got everything and sent the CEO to confirm. Guess fucking what… It got fucking denied.

“Look for cheaper laptops and replace only whats critical”

Employees are rocking 7 year old laptops with 128G SSDs! The bloody things can’t even run Win 11! The whole upgrade costs less than their single “teambuilding”! I hate this these cheapskates so fucking much…

      Is every well thought-out response going to be met with the “AI” sneering accusation from here on out? Some people really are thoughtful, knowledgeable, and have enough empathy and concern to share their expertise with the world. I find this attitude here is yet another flavour of anti-intellectualism. LLMs got their plagiarised material from real people, after all.

        No, only when it follows ChatGPT’s response formula.

        Maybe not every well thought-out response but when someone copies and pastes a long response without the appropriate intro (“hey the robot actually had some good advice this time:“), a quick comment is fair.
