-
- > \>be me
- \>friend wants to watch netflix on my laptop
- \>i don't have sound drivers installed
- \>run out the room crying
-
- this is a pretty common occurance for me. i like fuarking around with my laptop, i like trying to remove a bunch of stuff from it and get it to still work. i like funky workflows.
-
- *fizzityucking* sue me.
-
- in a world of beaten up twenty-fourteen macbooks sporting the same selection of stickers, theres something comfy about having a shitty laptop.
-
- when everyone has the same operating system, the same set of programs, the same everything, theres something comfy about being different.
-
- my name is shaun, and i have a shitty samsung series nine.
-
- the hardware support is shit.
-
- the case is almost coming apart because ive lost a bunch of screws.
-
- it overheats like a fothermucker.
-
- it sports ***two***, count 'em ***two*** "Lainpad" stickers, black electrical tape over all the branding, and one of those rectangular OS stickers that says "vim".
-
- software wise, not a lot works.
-
- it runs NixOS and it sorta works for a couple of things. anything else i make do.
-
- it is a piece of shit, but i love it. it has character, it has its flaws.
-
- its a person in a world of laptops resembling carbon copy celebrities.
-
- it is a flawed individual who is aware of its shortcomings, in a world of laptops that like to think they're the hero of their own story.
-
- it is mine, and i love it.
-
- im sorry for the stuff ive put it through, but its become a stronger person for it.
-
- thank you shitty laptop.
