@xinniw @frameworkcomputer That a crazy price 
– I can buy refubrished cooling system (fan + thermal tubes + radiator) for #thinkpad for 12$. And the new one from AliExpress will not cost so much – near 30$ or like this I think

Follow up:
Got the (new to me) T14 Gen3 #ThinkPad and installed #Fedora 41 on it. Despite being a used machine, it is in better condition than my daily driver MacBook Pro from 2021.
Also, damn, this thing seems like it was made for Linux. Everything worked out of the box flawlessly.
The only snag was that it wouldn't boot from a USB C SD card reader but was fine from a USB-A reader (... weird).
On my spare #Thinkpad P52s laptop, I've installed #Debian #Trixie, using the alpha installer.
I've tested the advanced installer because I wanted to check if the systemd-boot loader works during installation, which it does.
I'm staying with #XFCE because I tried both #KDE and #GNOME, and both have issues for me, with the former being a little unstable in its current transition state.
But all things considered, #Trixie is looking to be a solid release. In #XFCE, it's been as rock solid in use as my #Bookworm #Stable installation on my main desktop.
The only small niggle I'm currently checking is that the external 4K monitor sometimes doesn't correctly set after login on power up with the laptop lid closed. It is set as Primary display, without mirrored displays, so each can have unique settings and resolution.
I'll keep doing twice-weekly updates on #Trixie and see how things go. Any bugs, I'll check if already logged or otherwise log new ones. But so far, as I say, I've had none.
Ахах, год про него не вспоминал, а как купил себе ещё кабель магнитный, так и вспомнил. Оказывается, что если подключить этот магнитный переходник к коннектору type c, то будет только зарядка. В ноутбуке вообще идёт определение устройства и отключение.
Весело. И очень странно выглядит это действие.

A new day, another install of a BSD... This time NetBSD on a Thinkpad T430s. 
Hat jemand zufällig noch 'n defektes Thinkpad T480 rumfliegen, dessen Display ich haben könnte?

Living the #ThinkPad user life to the ears.
Surprisingly good headset for the sub-15 price!
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 ...

eBayLenovo Thinkpad X220 128GB SSD, 8GB RAM, Intel Core i5-2520 w/pointer problems | eBayUsing `smartctl` the health of the 128 GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD was reviewed. Samsung rates it for up to 73 TBW. It reports four hours and 59 minutes of battery of remaining. (Though battery life estimates seem to rarely be accurate).

Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 
So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 
Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.
Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.
Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11
Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

@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

@arichtman @discontinued people still #mod the shit out of #iPod|s to this day...
Personally, I want some device like that again...
Maybe make it the #ThinkPod with a #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint instead and out of #Thinkpadnium or #Nokiante plastic, coz #ThinkPad and #Nokia are the most durable materials once known!

Ok, I spent yesterday afternoon trying to get #RAID configured on my #lenovo #ThinkPad #P70 - to no success.
I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyCC1NGe8a8&t=36s of the similar #p50 and configuring #RAID which shows the #BIOS interface but my P70's only show the "non-raid physical discs" I do not have an option for RAID volumes. Note I have upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version on lenovo's web site. Any thoughts?
I have attached 2 #screenshots of what the BIOS displays - I'm trying to configure the RAID on the two 512GB #NVMe sticks.

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