@squirrel well, those are probably 3.7v for the square ones, just replace those with 18650s and duct tape them to the outside!

@squirrel oh ah, yeah, forgot yours was a tablet

@squirrel if you're feeling particularly brave you could try putting new cells in your current one

IIRC thinkpads use standard 18650 lithium cells

The Sam the Octopus method for verifying PGP signed messages:

Does it have a section at the bottom with "BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE" with a bunch of random looking characters in it? Then fuck it, it's probably legit

@noelle those are actually rebadged Intel NUCs if you fancy shopping around

@minego mostly for ssh at the moment, also occasional "I want to just use text-mode stuff with no distractions"

@Jo I'll admit I got mine for barter because it was donated to the charity shop I do some tech stuff for and if they sold it they'd only get it sent back to them because it wouldn't run minecraft well or whatever

The old Asus eeePCs make adorable little terminals for mucking about with

And they're cheap

I should really get a safe or something for my keys and documents and other stuff like that

I mean, it's not like anyone stealing my identity will get away with much but it's the principle of the thing

@squirrel hug and love all robots imo

RMS can fuck right off

This isn't even in response to anything in particular, he can just fuck off

@cocoron@sunbeam.city considering how much shitposting there was on lance ulanoff day this year I think you might be right

*wanders around putting these signs up*

@noelle

@balrogboogie @Jo wow

that's... a take

@squirrel we love you too maple!
