^ I can't count how many times i've been in that same position as well. No new laptop then?

I've been struggling a lot recently using Embarcadero RAD (delphi! ugh, business logic is tied to the form nyehhh!) to build cross platform (Windows, Droid, iOS) app. Defo not my own choice, but the project leader and most of the team members hath spoken, so i have no choice but to explore the nooks and crannies of these quirky and old stuff.

This is one of the tool you should stay away if you are building any cross platform apps. QT is a better alternative still.

No no new laptop so far. The plan is to buy from a small local IT firm that sells refurbished laptops, mostly Thinkpads that has been leased by other firms. For the moment they are sold out of the model I want, X1 Carbon. :)

Aaaaaaah, drooooooooool, but I will be patient this time. Soooooooooooo tired of old more or less worn out half crap machines. They show quality though these old Thinkåads, they work!

To be honest, I am not that much into stickers these days. Even geek t-shirts feel too obvious. :)

I know I am the one on Fish shell so I shouldn't rant about bloat, but I've never get Electron-based terminal emulators:

Definitely not my cup of tea.

Good day
Do not mind оn my illitеrасy, I am from India.

This is your last chance to save your life.

I uрlоadеd thе maliciоus рrоgram on yоur systеm.
Sinсе thаt mоmеnt I рilfеrеd аll privy baсkgrоund frоm yоur system. Аdditiоnally I hаvе some morе соmрrоmising evidеnсе. The mоst intеrеsting evidenсе thаt I stоlе- its а vidеоtаре with yоur mаsturbatiоn. I аdjusted virus оn a pоrn wеb sitе аnd аftеr yоu lоаdеd it. Whеn yоu dесidеd with thе vidеo аnd tарpеd оn а рlаy buttоn, my dеlеtеrious sоft аt оncе sеt up on your systеm. Аfter аdjusting, yоur саmеrа shoоt thе vidеotаре with you sеlf-abusing, in аddition it savеd рreсisеly the роrn vidео you mаsturbаtеd оn. In nеxt fеw dаys my mаlwаre collеctеd аll your sосial and wоrk сontаcts.

If yоu want tо dеlete the reсоrds- pay mе 300 euro in BTC(cryptoсurrеncy).
I provide yоu my Btс numbеr - 1DLKSudQvHMNXtzBEY5QZqQSV8bh9cF6b1
You hаve 24 hоurs аfter rеading. When I gеt transfеr I will destrоy thе videоtape еvermоrе.
If you need 50 hours just Open the calculator on your desktop and press +++
Other way I will sеnd the tаpе to аll your соllеaguеs and friеnds.
From which I learnt the following:

- I am about to die
- there is a videotape of me masturbating, but since nobody uses VHS anymore I am safe
- I find a deleterious soft moderately interesting
- I self-abused on camera, which it sounds pretty painful even for a big stud such as myself
- I knew I shouldn't have watched all those videos of Marley Brinx
- luckily enough, I have no social contacts whatsoever
- I pressed *** instead of +++, hoping to unlock the immortality achievement
