Logan SaundersHOST
There's a certain charm to it, and especially without just basic things like how different the technology was back then, what they were still able to do.
Logan SaundersHOST
Oh, the IBM ThinkPads.
Michael ArmstrongHOST
Yeah.
Michael ArmstrongHOST
The way that I summed it up in my notes is that I know that the Skydive is the big challenge of early-mole seasons and the big-budget challenge of early-mole seasons, but it does genuinely look like it's a fan-created version of the mole.

Logan SaundersHOST
Alan and Josephine have their arms wrapped around each other, and Abby and Linda have their arms wrapped around each other.
Logan SaundersHOST
Not because they intended to do that, but that's how squished they are.
David BindleyHOST
And I don't want to say something has dated this episode even more than the IBM ThinkPads and the Comic Sans and all that sort of stuff, but Grant's outfit at this elimination, he looks like a piece of Dutch pottery.
Michael ArmstrongHOST
He looks like he's just stepped off a cruise ship From New Caledonia And accidentally landed in Launceston

GrahamHOST
You
JoeHOST
literally cannot have too many ThinkPads.
JoeHOST
That's just the law.
JoeHOST
But Paul did say to me he expects me to pass down one of my laptops from lower down in the stack to one of the co-hosts who deserved it.
21 MINS LATER
JoeHOST
The speakers on it are just so good.
ShaneGUEST
Yeah.
JoeHOST
I mean, I'm sure the newer ones are better, but compared to any of my shitty old ThinkPads or even like I've heard the speakers on some pretty high-end Windows laptops, and they're just shit compared to the M1.
ShaneGUEST
Mm-hmm.
GrahamHOST

Aaron FrancisHOST
His new shtick is Omachi, which should be pronounced Omarki.
Aaron FrancisHOST
So Omarki is this Linux distribution system And I bought a while back, like six months ago, I bought, you know, an IBM ThinkPad for like, you know, 600 bucks or whatever.
Aaron FrancisHOST
And I was like, all right, I'm going to figure out how to put Linux on it.
Aaron FrancisHOST
Six months later, no freaking clue, haven't touched it.
Aaron FrancisHOST
And then Omarki comes out and I'm like, oh, this is supposedly very easy.
Aaron FrancisHOST
Turns out it is very easy to get installed.
Aaron FrancisHOST
So I got it installed on this ThinkPad, which takes me back to my accounting days.
Aaron FrancisHOST
Fortunately, I've plugged it in and put it in the closet so I don't actually have to see it.
Imran ShaikhHOST
We'll talk more about it in moments, but first...
Imran ShaikhHOST
Lenovo's IdeaPad family often gets overlooked in favor of its Yoga, ThinkBook, and ThinkPad lines.
Imran ShaikhHOST
That might change this fall with the IdeaPad Vibe.
Imran ShaikhHOST
which is the company's take on an affordable productivity laptop to rival systems like the MacBook Neo and Dell XPS 13.
Adam CurryHOST
Just give me an old IBM laptop.
Adam CurryHOST
Give me a ThinkPad.
Adam CurryHOST
I'm sure I can do it.
Adam CurryHOST
I got a couple of clips on this because, of course, Ms.
Alistair JenksGUEST
So these four photos are ones that I will I have them on the studio display.
Alistair JenksGUEST
When I'm working from home and I have my studio display connected to a ThinkPad, I still have the Mac sitting beside me, and the MacBook Pro screen is even better, and I just leave one of these on that screen just sitting there.
Alistair JenksGUEST
I mean, I do use the MacBook Pro for the odd thing during the day, but I will just have one of these photos just sitting there.
Alistair JenksGUEST
I'll just look across at it.

At first it was quiet, almost domestically awkward, the clatter of the old kettle, the drone of heaters at war with the window frost.
speaker_5NARRATOR
But as I loaded files onto his old ThinkPad, the spiraling tension returned.
speaker_5NARRATOR
Jacob thumbed the receiver with care.
speaker_5NARRATOR
That's not random interference.
Jenny ListHOST
There's something you can run on real hardware and you can use.
Jenny ListHOST
Haiku in particular, I actually had it on a ThinkPad and I took it on the road with me to test it.
Jenny ListHOST
I was that impressed with it.
Jenny ListHOST
It's interesting.
Jenny ListHOST
I think it was actually a release candidate for this one.
Jenny ListHOST
If you find the Genius Daily drivers, you'll find it.
Jenny ListHOST
I ran it on an ultra-portable ThinkPad.
Jenny ListHOST
And the only thing, the only annoyance I had with it that didn't work was it wouldn't drive two monitors at once.
