there isn’t really anything revolutionary described in the article (maybe with an exception of these detachable ports).

i have no idea how much things got worse in the last few years, so it is possible they are fixing something they broken lately, but again, presenting it as something new, when it is in fact something that thinkpads were known for since the last ice age and is why people are using them, is just strange to me.

it is really on the level of “omg you guys, did you know that ferrari is doing really fast cars?”

this is their most repairable product as of yet.

thinkpads were always repairable, that and durability is their number one attribute. you present it as if it were somehow new thing.

wtf are you talking about? this isn’t “hitting the market”, this is staple of the thinkpads for ever.

rather than accept loss

these models were trained on all the fine knowledge and wisdom we share all over the internet, what would you expect? 😂

I know most of this stuff will be specialized server hardware

it actually won’t be, at least not for the hard drives. the prevailing strategy for quite some time now is to just use the cheapest available disks and deal with the failures on the software level. those disks will ultimately fail anyway and the increased price for some super-duper enterprise reliability server disk is not really worth it.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

That being said, wtf does “relinquishing digital files” even mean? They do know they still have the “originals” and there is no way to prove how many copies he made, right?
