1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Any of you tried Wildpeak A/T Trails on anything you own?

 

It’s already sold
I tried to message lol

 

Yeah you can really go wild with them. It's 24g ram and 500g storage

I don’t understand the point of maxing out the options like that on a laptop with a puny 16” screen

 

I've almost always gone refurb from them over the last I'd imagine 8 years or so, maybe longer. I had a friend who worked for them tell me the refurbs were basically new overstock and that's been my experience. Just bought my mom a refurb 15" Air for mother's day actually, the thing is a screamer. (But fuck that port selection forcing her to use a dongle) They're worth it when you're running what you run in the industry you're in, which is pretty much in line with my stuff I'd imagine. I hate giving them so much money (same way I hate giving Adobe money) but the new silicon is pretty fucking impressive. Even my old M1 minis I use for misc stuff hardly break a sweat.
I've run the gamut with Apple since the mid-late 90s from love to hate to meh to who knows what now, but for creative work it's an easy decision. I still run old ThinkPads for everything else and my old Macs get turned into Linux machines but work is still Apple, even if it aint what it used to be.

 

I can't believe they even offer 8GB, it's wild. I don't see how their base Air is still a 256gb drive either and they want $200 to bump to 512. That thing is aimed at casual users and college students who are gonna max that easy.

 

Yea even if I was in a position to buy, I knew I wasn’t gonna touch it before someone local got it.

 

Xterra still goin?

 

Yea it still seems to be chugging along

 

Naw that's just cause he doesn't game or anything, just shares FB listings

Better actually than say me, I'm playing a whole other game each night

Need to play more rounds of that new Mario Party with the wife

 

A moment of appreciation for palm routers and working outside in spring

 

Nice. Good to hear.

 

I don’t drive it much though cause I don’t really trust it for longer trips haha

 

Only way to know is to go...

 

Yea I do have the AAA gold plan for a reason..

 

Amen

 

@6P4 @Sperrunner Any tire recommendations for mixed use? (Pavement and hard packed trail) Be nice to have low rolling resistance since I'm on tarmac more than dirt.
**Pink Stumpjumper was super rusted/rotted inside, especially chainstays, so I'm gonna build something else but still goin 26"...with tubes.

 

smol

 

Whatcha using it for?

 

Came with my CNC table, so I no longer have to use my old laptop.

Controllers for these tables have the PC-requirements equivalent to that of Minesweeper, so many people run them off a mini PC or old PC/laptop.

Just took it out of the box to see what Linux distro it's running. Plan is to mount it behind a monitor, so I'll have to source a cheap LCD monitor on FB MP.

 

@Bandido

Langmuir hooked me up with a motion controller for their tables



This allows me to run Firecontrol as if I was connected to one of their tables

I'll still be able to perform demos, do screen record and screen sharing while on Zoom, etc
