1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Wonder what made Xerox sorta stop developing data systems and go back to copy/fax machines

 

I did!

And I was glad that McNally basically went through Proven's catalog of locks and just picking the shit out of them as an initial response to this (he quoted the text his wife got in one of his videos).

It's one thing to call someone out to challenge your product, but don't get pissed at them and go as far as trying to sue them as well as harassing the dude's wife. Beyond fucked up what they did but I'm glad it's all out in the open.

PI deserves all the backlash and more after pulling that shit.

 

I can't wait for him to get stuck with the court fees for his laughably contradictory allegations.

 

I'd rather that happen and PI go under, but I'm afraid the whole thing might get thrown out.

I got to see what the lawsuit claims, and half the shit is laughable at most. Talking about "copyright infringement" when McNally just posted a small excerpt of PI's video and such.

But the thing is, during that short clip, he stays completely silent which makes him excluded from the whole "altering" and "defaming" part when using said video.

Whatever happens, I hope PI burns.

 

That's

Thats wild.
The video of him pulling that lock core out with the snipped can is pretty great.

 

In a world full of Proven Locks type people, strive to be a PacLock kind of person.

They learn from criticisms of their product and always put out an even better product. Or at the very least be a Master Lock and never do any PR haha

 

I love watching his videos as well as Lockpickinglawyer

Those dudes are true masters of their art - I've got some covert tools and can pick a good number of locks but nothing outside of your big box store stuff

Put me in front of anything outside of that, I'm tapping out

 

I swear they've got alligator skin

 

They're like the Kleenex of locks... They're not above criticism they're just somehow adjacent to it by way of popularity.

 

This is a year or more out, I'll keep my second gen to use till it gives up, definitely need a full sized, dunno gas or diesel

 

@Speedytech7 @Kwikvette Last 2¢ on the Liquid Glass...if they're gonna go all neo-retro, they should at least give us some transparent hardware again like the OG iMacs and iBooks.
Hell if Handspring could do it decades ago with handhelds, they can do it now...bring back some fun.

 

It's giving Mac G3 vibes, I dig it

 

Before everything was a dark rectangle

 

Even consoles did that whether it was a Gameboy Color or Advance, a 64, even the Halo edition Xbox, transparent bodies were in for a good minute.

 

They came out great. Thanks for all the work you put into them.
I think down the road in going to get a sandblasting and powder coating setup now that I have space for it.

 

One of my favorite eras. (Including pagers, for us old folks)

I saw that Framework has a translucent bezel option, but the deck and everything else is still solid, bummer.

 

Who knows, maybe they'll offer a few more options down the road.

Love how they encourage the end user to repair/replace shit themselves. It's why I've always stuck with PC's I've built myself.

 

@01x4 my old stump jumper i made into a dirt jumper just rusting away
With my custom paint job lol
