Man, your basement has the weirdest carpet I've ever seen. Also, much too bright for my taste. If you can see the keycaps without backlight, you're doing the lighting wrong.
It's L14, not T14. My mom has one for(EDIT: at) work and the bottom cover is cracked. It would be fine if she didn't use a 6-year old HP (also fuck HP), which is somehow still in mint condition.
Yes, a HP beats an L series ThinkPad in durability (but this is only anecdotal evidence, I have no idea if this is widespread).
i dont treat my thinkpad gently (photo as evidence), and it is in perfect condition after a year, throwing it in my school backpack daily, getting tossed around, getting hit and bumped countless times, on top of what it experienced before i got it (it was second hand from some business) i wouldn't say its very fragile. sure, its no T series thinkpad, but L series seems to be overhated.
Cool, so it's way more durable than my Latitude 5290. I had my bottom cover screw inserts break when opening it. And the bottom panel is cracked in multiple locations. Also, recently had to reglue a display hinge, since it's just glued on the plastic top panel via a metal extension (it also broke the bezel which I had to plastic-weld to reinstall it). But I also use the display frame as a handrest so it was doomed to fail. Also, I had to reglue or replace most of the rubber housing parts. Here's my poor little laptop:
I kinda feel bad for this laptop coming into my aggressive hands.
I would recommend a Dell Latitude, but expect problems if you mistreat it like me. It isn't a T430 or T440p, which survive everything.
Edit: the green spot on the photo isn't a spot on the camera, it's a plastic-weld. Yes, it's all screwed with in weird ways, all by me.
Also, your laptop is in great condition, don't worry about it, you treat it above-average-ly, unlike me.
Yep, I would expect her laptop to be in the same or worse condition, if it was mine.
It's build quality is practically nonexistent and if we expect the interiour to be like other HPs I disassembled, it's probably hollow without any board protection whatsoever. Also, the fans are almost always full speed, even on moderate to low load (of the some gen of ryzen 5 which is actually decent).
I honestly do not get why "touch grass" became a common phrase/meme around a decade after many people got mobile Internet access (through smartphones).
Before that, it would have made sense because you'd usually only be posting on the Internet when you're somewhere inside where there's a computer; but now that we can literally be posting online while lying on grass?! How did this happen?
I agree. It always seemed a ridiculous abusive phrase anyway much like "Wake up and smell the coffee!" People repeat these things thinking they're clever.

User not seen touching grass
baby steps ill try again next time
Use adult feet next time easier to stand
That's one small step for linux users, a giant leap for nerdkind
Every single time with these posts. Last one i saw, the guy was sitting on a wooden porch taking a picture of the grass through the barrier/fence
Ship it.

If you're looking for keycaps in any lighting, you're doing linux wrong
Congratulations you now have some free bugs on-board
mmm i love bugs
linux users not being able to touch grass without bringing along their emotional support thinkpad. smh
I wouldn't want to put the air intakes of my Thinkpad directly on the grass like that. It's bound to suck in dirt.
it was for about 6 seconds the thinkpad is unharmed i promise
But it has gotten a taste for dirt now. This is only the beginning.
Only a matter of time until it demands for Windows to be installed
I mean at that point there's probably blades of grass going through the fans
On mine there's a fine mesh in front of the fan, blades of grass would not get through
Life, uh...life finds a way
As long as you’re not running something that gets the CPU going crazy I doubt you’d suck in any I Dirt.
Careful, that's how you get bugs in your code.
or ants in your monitor
Bro thinks he can screenshot grass from outside on manjaro
look, even i can do it. not that hard. im on fedora tho
That's GIMPed
If it wasn’t for the dead grass I’d say it’s Astro turf
That's a pretty epic thibkpad

my friend had a pretty expensive/high-end hp laptop, got Hinge Problems after a few years of usage.

An elitebook, maybe. But not all HPs are made equal. Just like Lenovos.
Definitely not. It's some consumer garbage laptop, because the build quality is visibly shit.
Where are the socks?
I actually installed grass on my pc yesterday. But qgis sadly doesn't find it. I'll look into it when I find the time.
And now an obligatory:
The nerd inside me automatically wants to correct that to
That avoids starting up one addidtional process.
(Unless the file already exists, and you just want to update its mtime, of course.)
Couldn't you just use
Or does that not change the mtime?
Anyway, neither of those two is touching grass.
They create visible drought conditions and tell you to touch grass, what does that tell you? #hitthehay #indoors
Now even your code has ticks. Nice...
no bugs on board
not for free

I bought an L13 off Facebook, had 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. Within two months the (soldered in) RAM went bad. Memtest86+ found 1300+ errors 😐
damn that sucks man, luckily mine doesnt have any soldered RAM
