You can tell it's an old stock photo by the ratio of the monitor.

my ThinkPad™ literally has gutters built into the keyboard to direct spilled liquids away from the circuitry. it also boots after i hit it with a hammer

[-] SapphironZA@lemmings.world 18 points 2 years ago

You know it comes with a power button that will also switch it on for you? /s

(un)fortunately, my thinkpad has a spillproof keyboard.

[-] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

I bet it isn't hydrofluoric acid spill proof

Pour it on yourself and you'll never have to work another day in your life

Please don't spill HF anywhere that isn't specifically designed for it.

Just need a different liquid.

Hey boss , I worked so fast the computer overheated. Let's call it a day shall we?

[-] Bronco1676@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Probably not a valid excuse with M series macbooks :(

That's what this picture was advertising.

Nothing an "accidental" fall can't solve

I'm just imagining having a bad day at work and then pushing my PC off my desk at noon on a Friday, calling IT and punching out.

I mean I am IT, but still.

The world of networking is full of accidents waiting to happen.

What if i have a Thinkpad X220?

[-] rmuk@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years ago

Have you ever read that Wikipedia article, Timeline of the Far Future? "Median half-life of the ThinkPad X220" is listed between "The Sun reaches the top of the red-giant branch of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram" and "the Moon spirals below Earth's Roche limit, breaking into a ring of debris".

Fret not, dear User! For I as the IT admin will happily pour water directly into the parts that matter.

[-] 567PrimeMover@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

When people mention watercooling is this what they mean

[-] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

By pouring water over a laptop that's been forgotten in a corner of the basement for 20 years?

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Anyone know if this actually does anything to modern laptops? I can't think of a single computer I've used that didn't have drainage in the keyboard.

[-] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago

Do you exclusively use Thinkpads?

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

I guess so. Macbooks brick if the air has too much moisture. This guy has never seen a MacBook then

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I have a Thinkpad and some weird ass dell or something but IIRC they have some holes with a water drop shape embossed nearby. The rest are desktop keyboards.
