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.

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.
