So apparently, the battery that came with my laptop (#ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 1) was 50Wh, while the replacement available on Lenovo's website and most parts retailers is 80Wh.

I guess that's a no-brainer then.

If you were buying a used ThinkPad today, or any other rugged laptop in the USD 100-150 range, to give your autistic sensory seeking kid who tends to bang on the screen and rip out keys, which one would you choose?

Currently we are on the last legs of an X230. But I've found it hard to get batteries and other parts for this model, so looking for more modern alternatives. Should I look for a used X280? I don't want *too* modern because I definitely want USB-A ports.

It's been a week since reinstalling
@opensuse #openSUSE #Leap on my #ThinkPad with a Seventh Gen #Intel i7 Pro. While it crawled with both #Windows #Windows11 and #Windows10, there has been NO lag at all after installing #Linux. I just tried running @whonix on it while plugged into a #Thunderbolt dock hooked up to an ultrawide monitor, and it was as snappy as ever.

Windows #OperatingSystem bloat is real, and if you've got old hardware, the speed issues are probably due to your #OS.

I might have an issue.#thinkpad

Was considering getting a #Thinkpad Z16 as Lenovo has them on special right now, but noticed they have what appears to be a modern Apple-style keyboard. Is this the case? 1mm of movement doesn't do it for me. A major reason I buy Thinkpads is because they have good keyboards, and they're probably the last laptops out there with good keyboards.

La historia de terror, es porque la querida #ThinkPad #T430, que llevaba 4 años usando como servidor casero, recibió una descarga por tormenta y se le jodió la tarjeta madre. La tenía conectada a un regulador, pero no fue suficiente.
Ahí tenía conectadas 4 unidades de almacenamiento, dos externas y dos internas, entre las cuales se distribuyen mis respaldos y repositorios de información.

Por cierto, ¿ya les había contado que tengo asociadas mis laptops con #StarWars?

La #Inspiron #640m es la Stormtrooper.
La #ThinkPad #T430 es la Darth Vader (no solo por la apariencia, sino porque ya va por su segunda intervención quirúrgica).
La #ThinkPad #T450 es la Kylo Ren.

Spannendes Interview zum Thema #Fairphone und dem #RightToRepair

Werde auch weiterhin beim #FP3 inkl. @murena bleiben, eine stabile und gute Kombi.

Mal schauen ob ich sie solange sinnvoll nutzen werde können, wie mein #Thinkpad #X201 mit #Manjaro ....

#Thinkpad is great, but I can’t get used to its screen resolution and pixel density - I’m using an L14 gen2. It either looks big and narrow or very small for a decent workspace

This is so darn convenient, I want to ensure my next desktop computer supports #fwupd
#ThinkPad #Fedora #Linux

👢 Came back after half an hour and (for no logical reason) tried again...and this time it booted up! (Only till BIOS, because no drives connected yet)

🔍 On inspecting the board, I see a burnt-up SMD called "C588", which I'm assuming is a capacitor

📖 No circuit diagram for my motherboard (#Thinkpad #X230T) but the diagram for a similar(ish) model (#X230, the non-tablet version) seems to say C588 is part of the voltage regulation circuit, in parallel with a couple of other capacitors

🧵 2/3

So it seems the error code means „Memory module error“, according to the Diagnostics app.
So I tried removing one RAM stick at a time, or swap slots, but it doesn’t help. It seems highly unlikely to me that both sticks just died out of nowhere. Does anyone have any experience with this / any ideas what else might be the culprit? :blobcatsob:

#lenovo #thinkpad #t480

Thank you #Thinkpad for, instead of booting, blasting a super loud beep melody into my ear.
So far I‘ve figured out that it‘s some kind of error code.
But I have no idea where it‘s coming from all of the sudden and what it means 😅

Updates haben nichts gebracht. Ich hab BitLocker deaktiviert. Jetzt bootet er logischer Weise ordentlich. Jetzt kann ich #BitLocker aber nicht wieder aktivieren. "Ein interner Fehler wurde festgestellt."
#Windows #Windows10 #thinkpad

Deswegen wollte ich keine #Windows Maschine. 😩
Das #Thinkpad vom Kleinen startet jedes Mal mit der BitLocker Wiederherstellung... Die verlangt nur einen 48-stelligen Key. Das Internet sagt "wenn Du ein BIOS Update gemacht hast..." Hab ich nicht. Das kommt einfach aus dem Nichts. 🤬
Mal alle Windows Updates installieren und gucken. Tschüss Samstag.

HP kaufe ich nie wieder, nachdem mir (neben tausenden anderen) der Akku 4 Wochen nach Ende der Garantie sich aufgeblasen hat und das Gehäuse geschrottet hat...allein bei uns in der Firma 6 von 7 Geräten.

@hartzog
Es wird kein #FrameWork? Schade.

#thinkpad

Zum Glück ab morgen 2 Wochen Urlaub, dann haben die Nasen noch ein bisschen Zeit das alles auf die Reihe zu bekommen.

Mein #thinkpad feiert danach dann erstmal seinen 4. Geburtstag und darf dann hoffentlich in Rente gehen.
