They don’t make them like this anymore (curves & thicc)

@thomasfuchs: One of the reason's why I like @mntmn's : Its design has something of a vintage brick. Same counts for the MNT Pocket Reform: Feels like the true successor of the first , especially those with the fat 3rd-party batteries.

I just replaced a keyboard in a ThinkPad T450 laptop. Some of the keys were not working. When I took the keyboard out to re-seat the connection and test it, I noticed there was some sticky residue likely from a liquid spill.

Replacing the keyboard with another used keyboard fixed the problem of some of the keys not working, so I isolated the problem to the keyboard part and not the ribbon cable connection or other cause.

Prędkość w x200 w stacji dokującej poniżej 1Mb/s. Zamknięty laptop. Wraca do normalnej prędkości jak go otworzę bo anteny wifi ma chyba w obramówce ekranu. W sumie dziwne bo mam służbowego thinkpada i chyba nie mam tego problemu....
Ale sprawdzę możę lepiej :)
Bo psioczyłem pod nosem na sterowniki wifi na linuxie a to chyba problem sprzętowy.

Looks like my future laptop is a #thinkpad t14 Gen 5.
9/10 repairability, close to the score of framework laptops.

Surely the price is cheaper on the second hand market.

I've published a new blog post on my experience setting up and using Fedora 39 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 3 (Intel). I've included steps that I've taken to install the required packages to set up and manage the versions of Python, Ruby, and Node installed.

Are other users having problems waking their device from hibernation with anything newer than 6.5? How would I ideally trace down the cause? It seems like the device wakes up, but the screen stays black. I'm running on a ThinkPad Z16 AMD Gen1.

Ni rastro de ventilador para la x200... creo que pasara a retiro anticipado. Y pronto solo para exhibición. #thinkpad #linux

My poor little . Today I noticed (how could I not), that it was randomly freezing, so that I had to reboot.

Tonight I decided run the hardware diagnostics and it failed on a couple of memory tests 😢

So, I opened it up and looked at the RAM, and it was slightly wonky, with it not even clipping in properly at one end.

I reseated it and ran the tests again and it's passed (phew!)

Will this poor machine continue to survive me (before it was the faulty battery I fitted)? I hope so.

Me puse a lavar la ropa (con el Roma líquido que huele super fresquito) y a hacer lo que hay que hacer con un equipo nuevo.

REINSTALAR WINDOWS y actualizar controladores. Dell hace bien eso, me bajé el DellSupportAssist y desde Edge hizo la actualización de lo que faltara, incluidos firmwares.¡Que bien!

Ahora nomás a encoger la partición de Windows, instalar Fedora y tan tan. Quería dejarlo nomás con Fedo PEEEERO uno nunca sabe, nunca se sabe.

Sí se necesitan equipos diseñados para Linux.

@v Fíjate que hablando de y los equipos diseñados, estoy batallando con el touchpad de la Lenovo que ya me devolvió mi hermana. Yo no uso los botones, toco el touch para hacer click y deja de responder, o sea en ocasiones debo tocar hasta 3 veces el touch para que responda el clic, anoche instale mint y durante el instalador jala bien, pero ya que entra el sistema y me pasa lo mismo. Hoy probaré con Fedora. Pero vuelvo a que en jala bien y sin problemas.

Die Cherry ULP Clickys in @fooker MNHTTN sind die ersten Low Profile-Switches, die mir echt gut gefallen. Sehr flach, aber dennoch gutes haptisches Feedback.

So, wer baut jetzt damit Ersatztastaturen für aktuelle -Modelle? 👉🏻👈🏻😵‍💫

Beide Hälften der MNHTTTN Split-Tastatur
Eine Hälfte im Profil, sie ist wirklich sehr flach.

My trusty #remote dev setup I've been refining for years now:

  • #Thinkpad T14s gen4 (AMD)
  • Mi curve 34" widescreen
  • Shinobi Tex keyboard /w blue switches
  • Rode NT-USB mic

Everything works flawlessly on #linux #kde through #nixos :)

As my work laptop turns 3 years old soon, I'm reflecting on the fact that it's been the best work laptop I've ever had and it's not on my radar to request an upgrade for it any time soon. The combination of + P14 + Ryzen 7 Pro is an absolute beast. It hits that perfect sweet spot between great battery life and excellent compute power on demand for running VMs, compiling, etc. Would definitely get this again.

Forever had this bug where laptop screen backlight randomly reset to 0 on resume, especially w docking stations (on every model I've owned). Was thinking of reporting it now, but I don't know where.

#tlp just shot my #thinkpad battery life from 3 hours to 6! (up to 10 when idle)

tlp for #ubuntu / #debian: sudo apt install tlp tlp-rdw

tlp gui: sudo apt install tlpui

Documentation here: https://linrunner.de/tlp/index.html

Haven't tinkered with the settings yet but I think we can go higher. Thanks to @codemonkeymike for the info.

I got a #thinkpad x220 for $60 on ebay. Came with 8gb ram and an ssd. It had windows 10 pro but installed Debian 12 kde instead.

Speaking of Linux (sorry to go on about it), I've been running Linux Mint in a vm all day and can totally see myself making it my primary OS.

So now I'm thinking about buying a dedicated laptop. Does anybody know much about hardware and the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 G2's (not Yoga) compatibility? Searches aren't coming up with much.

blami, to Amd

Ok. Getting #AMD #ryzen #thinkpad was really a good idea. I was finally able to try it out. That business thingy plays Skyrim buttersmooth on Ultra in Wine. None of my X1Cs nor X1 Nano can do that. And I can barely hear the fan! Also FreeBSD works kinda… fine (minus wifi) on it.

Lenovo could really make an anniversary edition of the x220, I love this formfactor and this keyboard. #thinkpad #x220
