A new day, another install of a BSD... This time NetBSD on a Thinkpad T430s.

Output of the `fastfetch` command showing system information on the console from a fresh install of NetBSD.

Hat jemand zufällig noch 'n defektes Thinkpad T480 rumfliegen, dessen Display ich haben könnte?

Has anyone used a set like this to power a #Thinkpad which has a barrel or rectangular connector via USB-C ... I do worry about whether it's safe to do this, but would be really nice if it worked ...

If you are a fan of the #ThinkPad X220 laptop for running #Linux, I have one on auction now, bidding starts at just $18! Includes 8G ram and 128G SSD.

Touchpad and trackpoint not currently working.

It reports four hours and 59 minutes of battery of remaining. (Though battery life estimates seem to rarely be accurate).

La diferencia entre un portátil de trabajo y un portatil de "postureo".

La imagen es un collage dividido en dos partes. La parte izquierda muestra un MacBook apoyado en un soporte naranja con un paño de limpieza. El usuario parece estar preocupado de que el soporte pueda rayar el MacBook. La parte derecha muestra un portátil conectado a un generador portátil en el exterior, sobre una acera. Parece ser una configuración improvisada para trabajar al aire libre.

@martinschlegel @Extelec Pretty much any version of #NetBSD should run on a #ThinkPad T23 out of the box, and #pkgsrc will include the ~latest #firefox. I tested it on a ThinkPad T41, which is only two years more recent than the T23 - https://youtu.be/jYS4TcgxMxU

Now, whether you can do anything *useful* in modern Firefox on a 1GB 32 bit machine... not so much

#PaleMoon or #ArcticFox are pretty capable browsers which run well on smaller machines - and #Dillo will *scream* on that spec hardware

Lassen sich moderne #Thinkpads denn über die "NOVO"-Taste starten?

Playing around with #Waybar on my #FreeBSD #ThinkPad. It's still a WIP but it's getting there.

So I figured out how to get #NetBSD working nice and fine on my #ThinkPad x220. It wasn't suspending correctly when I shut the lid.

Turns out the answer was in the docs.

There's a special place in hell reserved for the person who decided to put in "filler plastic" instead of making a bigger battery.

How much more could it have really cost to just make this a great battery?!

Someone just donated this barely used t14!

Damn I'm a sucker for a #thinkpad especially one in great shape like this.

Going to make someone very happy!

Can someone recommend a source for #thinkpad #t480 batteries? My last replacement seems to degrade rather fast.

Reasonable shipping to Germany would be necessary.
The perfekt supplier would also print a manufacturing date on the battery and mention it in the offer.

EDIT: gelöst

Und schon wieder habe ich eine technische Frage ... eine äußerst merkwürdige.

Seit gestern bringe ich Filme aus Streaming-Mediatheken (Netflix, zdf etc.) nicht mehr zum Laufen. Ich habe schließlich VLC angeklickt und versucht, eigene Filme anzuschauen, was funktioniert hat.
Danach, VLC noch offen, aber auf Pause, konnte ich auf einmal die Filme in den Mediatheken wieder zum Laufen bringen. Das gleiche Prozedere heute wieder.
