Using a 17 years-old computer in 2024 — is it a productivity hack, or a nerd fetish? Here I share my experience of daily-driving a ThinkPad X61s from 2007 and explain how it prevents brainrot.
I also occasionally use jfbview to read PDFs in the terminal, as well as mpv for watching videos. Since KDE is not running, it saves a tiny bit of battery life.
Hi!
What app were you using to read that famous Burning Chrome story on the screenshot? :)
I believe it was just an HTML file in this specific case. I wish I could write that I used Chrome for it, but no, I’m a Firefox user :)
…and a big fan of Gibson, too!
Thanks!
BTW, for the similar purpose on my old ThinkPad, I use w3m, a terminal web browser :)
