Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

i daily an 11 year old ThinkPad. it's fast and does everything i need it to do. buying new is for suckers
I dailied on my 2012 self-built gaming PC. Was good but expensive. Got a used MacBook Air, its cheap now.
That's what I'm still doing now. I upgraded the RAM a couple years ago and the GPU last year, both with cheap older parts that were about $100.
The main problem I've run into so far is that Blender no longer runs since they only support CPUs ten years old or newer. But I don't do that stuff anymore really anyway.
Suckers and anyone who wants/needs a warranty... Like businesses.
...a.k.a. suckers. 🙃
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever bought a new PC/Laptop. It's always been used. Had only one problem with a phone I got for half the proce of all the others so it's kind of my fault...
Yeah, once my Zephyrus dies I’ve decided that it’s my last “new” laptop that I buy. Sure, it can play games, but my usage has been drifting more “casual” over the years. For the top end of my computing: I really don’t need much to compile stuff and run chitubox.
How easy is it to get replacement parts for a ThinkPad?
Likely the easiest
