I think this is my new favourite tech-related comic strip

How do you prove your sexuality to others?

[-] FireWire400@lemmy.world 32 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Let's see...

  • Flight - Seems pretty useless to me if you can't go over 30, you couldn't easily fly to other countries for example.
  • Speed - Reminds me of all the times I missed my train by literally two seconds but bumping into people while running inhumanly fast would be even worse IMO
  • Invisibility - I don't know what I'd do while invisible. Spy on others? Pull shitty pranks? Not really. I guess crimes but I'm not that kind of person.
  • Telekinesis - Pretty overpowered compared to the rest, being able to lift/manipulate up to two tons with your mind sounds incredibly useful

And glaciers are still not protected from idiots doing stuff like this because?

I don't really like it when people use acronyms when talking about music albums, it always takes me far too long to figure out what they actually mean.

Special shoutouts to TDSotM and ItCotCK.

That's just weird... Part of the reason I listen to podcasts is that I just enjoy people talking about things and AI voices still have this uncanny quality to me

Remember: less viewport and more whitespace = somehow more ergonomic

One of the seven albums they've released that year and in my opinion also their best one so far.

T41 sticky lid (lemmy.world)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by FireWire400@lemmy.world to c/thinkpad@lemmy.ml

A friend of mine gave a an old ThinkPad T41 and it's in great condition for one of these without any cracks in the chassis. There are a few marks on the display but it doesn't look like it's cracked (I don't have the right power supply to test it out).

The biggest problem with it so far is that the rubberised finish on the lid has turned sticky. I tried to wipe it down with diluted isopropyl alcohol and while it looks pretty clean now it's still very sticky.

Is there a way to fix the stickiness without full-on scraping the coating off?

I like how they just added those question marks with a pen

I still don't understand why car brands don't just use Android Automotive anyway. Most native infotainment systems in cars still look and feel like they're from the early 2000s.

That 55-inch interface they're showing off really looks like some weird 2006-ish concept.

Edit: Apparently, it's running "Google built-in" which means that this particular system is based on Android Automotive OS and it's just running some proprietary launcher on top.

Got this T540p for free from work, it came with a dual-core i5-4200M, 8GB of RAM, the awful 1080p TN panel and the GT730M dGPU.

Upgrades: New TrackPad (T450 Synaptics), i7-4700QM, 16 GB DDR3L RAM, AUO B156HAN01.2, and a good clean (yep, that's an upgrade in my books).

The i7 runs quite well in there, I had some doubts about the thermal situation since it's a 47-watt chip in a dGPU model but so far it holds up pretty well with a -70mw undervolt and Arctic MX-4 thermal paste. Idle it gets up to around 45°C, under load I've never seen it get hotter than 75°C. In addition to Throttlestop, I'm using TPFC on the "smart" setting to keep the noisy Toshiba fan from ramping up and down every .2 seconds.

The GT730M isn't good for much these days but it runs older games quite well. All in all, I ended up really liking this ThinkPad. It's very annoying to take apart, though.
