Comment on Using vintage laptops in 2024: How do you make it work?
AusatKeyboardPremi@lemmy.world 3 months agoIt has been more than a decade since I used IRC, #oldcomputerchallenge is a very good reason to get back to using it.
I was superficially aware of Gopher, but I did not know of the other internet protocols mentioned at: portal.mozz.us
Also, I completely agree with your point about using light software. I hope I come across more such software as I go down this rabbit hole.
I have learnt so much from your few comments. Thank you so much!
P.S. I am curious to know what your daily driver is, only if you don’t mind sharing.

No problem. I think it’s good practice that can very well make you realize that obsolete machines aren’t really that obsolete.
I use a thinkpad x220.

X220 is a beautiful machine! May it continue to serve you well for years to come. :-)
