a 12th gen laptop with 1TB and you say it’s not a beast , z book is the machine of hp , if you talk Elitebook I fit talk say na regular even at that it’s a 12th gen and if you know those things are not cheap at the moment , my small 840 g8 sef I Dey pamper am.

12th gen + 1TB no automatically mean beast. 1TB na just storage, not performance.

Even for ZBook line, some configs still carry low-power CPUs and no dedicated GPU and this very one doesn't have it. Workstation branding no equal monster specs.

A real beast depends on CPU class, GPU, RAM, and cooling, not just “12th gen”, "16GB" pasted on the sticker.

Even an older Core i9 with proper RTX graphics and 32GB RAM fit humble that ZBook config easily.

Eg. MSI GT75 Titan 8th Gen Core i9, 32GB RAM, RTX 2080. That machine was built for raw power with serious cooling and full gaming GPU performance.

Or even: MSI GS66 Stealth i9, 32GB RAM, RTX 3080. Different level entirely.

Na older laptops I mentioned above with older generations oooo

That’s why “12th gen + 1TB SSD” no impress tech people automatically. GPU power, wattage, thermals, and sustained performance matter pass generation name.

Politics › Re: On What Basis Did Obi Justify Sacking Non Indegenes From The State Civil Service by 1Alex: 11:10am On May 17

FSBoperator:
If there ever was a more blatant and crude display of executive xenophobia , Peter Obi takes the cake for arbitrarily sacking all non indegenes (including fellow Ibos from neighbouring SE states) from the Anambra State civil service and directed same be done for those in all local govt secretariat.

Most of those affected were from Enugu as Enugu and Anambra were once under one state until it was split .

The then Abia state governor retaliated and sacked indegenes from Anambra in the Abia state civil service

We are made to believe that the sacking was part of Obi's cost saving measures despite Anambra paying far below the national minimum wage which Obi refused to implement.

Can anyone explain beyond cost cutting measures why Obi will target non indegenes for sack ? Does this not contravene anti discriminatory laws set in place to deny employment based on tribe, gender , religion , etc?

Also most of those sacked had spent years in the Anambra state civil service after getting employed by old Anambra state that included both present Anambra and Enugu.

Ai responds

There is no confirmed evidence that Peter Obi carried out a general policy of sacking non-indigenes from the Anambra State civil service when he was governor.

What you’ll find:

Some political claims and interviews say non-indigenes were removed or affected during restructuring of the civil service. These claims are mostly from political opponents or media commentary.

Other investigations and fact-check reports say there is no verified record of ethnic-based sack policy under his administration.

There were broader civil service changes during his tenure (like audits, reforms, and workforce adjustments), but those are different from targeting people based on origin.

So the accurate picture is:

No solid proof of “sacking non-indigenes” as an official policy.

The claim is disputed and not supported by reliable documentation.

Grok responds

In September 2011, Governor Peter Obi ordered an **immediate review of the employment of all non-indigenes** in Anambra State civil service during a major labour crisis and strike over minimum wage.

He also threatened to sack workers employed since 2003 and placed an embargo on new hires. While critics claim this led to many non-indigenes (including Igbos from other states) being sacked or forced out, contemporary reports mainly confirm the **review order** rather than verified mass sackings specifically targeting non-indigenes.

This fits a pattern of indigenes-first policies common in Nigerian states at the time, amid fiscal and labour tensions under Obi’s administration.

helinues:
The definition of being poor have been misunderstood by people generally

Being poor don't mean you don't have money at all but the money is limited for whatever you have in mind

To hustle for money is one thing, spending it judiciously/wisely is actually entire new things.

Had we been managing the small small money we have been having, may be we could have gone far in life

Thank goodness it's coming from you. Now be sincere, has your paymaster been handling Nigeria's money Judiciously?

Education › Re: Can You Recognize Which Country's Script This Is? by 1Alex: 7:42pm On May 12

Ai says:

This is classical Chinese Buddhist scripture text.

It appears to be a page from the Diamond Sutra (金剛經 / Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra), written in traditional Chinese characters in vertical format, read from right to left.

Some visible phrases include:

「若有人受持讀誦此經」
(“If someone receives, upholds, reads, and recites this sutra…”)

「功德」
(“merit” or “spiritual virtue”)

「須菩提」
(Subhuti, one of the Buddha’s disciples)

The style looks like a woodblock-printed East Asian Buddhist canon edition, possibly from China, Korea, or Japan. The smaller text at the bottom appears to be annotation or reading aid text.

This is not modern Chinese prose — it is literary/classical Buddhist Chinese translated from Sanskrit centuries ago.
