Well, at least it's Thinkpad X1E...
We had much less going on when we joked that you know who is compiling or running any sort of serious work in the office by hearing whose MBP was whining hard with its fans.
- Stratoscope 5y agoAh yes, these fans may get loud, but they are nothing like an office back in the day full of hackers on ASR-33 Teletypes! Each one had a noisy keyboard and a noisy printer. The keyboard didn't have a nice click like a modern keyboard, more of a loud scrunchy sound. The printer was even louder and rang a bell if you had a line too long. You could always tell when the mainframe crashed. Everyone's Teletype printer stopped all at once, and everyone started mashing down every key on their keyboard out of frustration.
