@lewdthewides @PublicNuisance @boilingsteam their new stuff is absolute trash
HP elitebooks have been out of stock for a while now, so we've been buying lenovos for work...... a solid 50% of the docks are unusable pieces of shit that cause endless problems.

@lewdthewides @PublicNuisance @boilingsteam @graf @skylar we have WD19 docks for everyone at my company and they all work almost perfectly
@professionalbigot69 @PublicNuisance @lewdthewides @boilingsteam @graf that looks just like the well-behaved dell ones i've used
@skylar @PublicNuisance @lewdthewides @boilingsteam yeah thinkpads (mine included) cry about anything being plugged in to the usb/usb port when you fire it on. i think it takes ~30s to timeout before it even displays POST
