chunky pc that whirs and creates a cozy ambience and a boxy monitor with a matte/low res screen to browse the internet. or one of the panasonic laptops from japan thst still look like their from 2007 but with updated firmware/ or simply just an old windows 7 think pad to revive my need for nostalgic technology.

On the advice of my favorite most trusted giga-nerd (who has never steered me in the wrong direction and collects/loves/borderline anthropomorphizes old electronics like he’s the guy from The Brave Little Toaster), I’m seeking to replace my janky cheap computer with a cheap but very much not janky Lenovo Thinkpad. I’ve been doing a lot of research and there are whole communities of nerds who are obsessed with them for their pragmatic allure, thoughtful design, durable hardware, higher-level specs in used models for a low cost (we’re talking like $200), easy customizability and repairability, and the weird keyboard clit.
I already BOUGHT a T480s with 24 GB of RAM and an i7 processor but my package randomly got delivered to the wrong address :( I just got my refund so it’s time to begin again… in a way it’s good because I think the i5 will better suit my needs. The really hardcore nerds would recommend reaching slightly above this price range for a T14 1st gen with Ryzen 5 or 7 but I’m not looking to do anything crazy here I just want to type and watch stuff and have a lot of browser tabs open + I like the T480s display better + the T480s only weighs 3 pounds 🫦

10+ year old apple monitors and my laptop, mostly used when producing otherwise i’m on the couch with just my laptop for most things I gotta do. the little table with the synths on the right is an old sewing machine table with wheels on it I got at an antique store for cheap, it has collapsable extensions on each side very helpful for decluttering my main desk space

i open it, wait for it to load (delayed gratification), swipe the top refs, like them, check out the accounts their from, might follow, see what the people i follow are posting, search up new music or something random (all on my own accord, no algorithm, no doomscrolling) find something actually cool that i bookmark/add to a list to check out (which i do check out), either leave the app satisfied or make a silly little post and then leave the app with no urge to keep scrolling or looking, happy with my time spent

everyone
you have NO business over there. NOTHING good coming out of there anymore.
instead try;
- active listening
- reading a damn book
- giving a shit about other people
- finding whimsy in everyday life
