ThinkPad X220 (2011) running Slackware-current in 2026. Linux console + tmux. Sometimes that's all you need. :) #slackware #thinkpad #x220

here's another #permacomputing salvage - a Lenovo #Thinkpad T490 rocking #Fedora #Linux. I got it with a "dead" screen, so even before it got to me started looking for cheap 14" FHD panels. after I got it and started testing with an external display, noticed during a restart that the screen showed eversoslight activity so grabbed my phone and shone light at it and... yepp, that's a flawless image, albeit without backlight. 1/

Mein #Lenovo #Thinkpad #T590 fährt korrekt hoch, Display bleibt dunkel (mit Taschenlampe sieht man schwach den Anmeldebildschirm). Da ist offenbar Sicherung des Backlights gestorben, vermutlich durch defektes Displaykabel im Scharnier. Da ich weder Equipment / Erfahrung / Ehrgeiz im SMD-Löten habe - gibt es in #Karlsruhe einen seriösen Laden, der solche #Reparatur​en (Sicherung- und Kabeltausch) zu realistischen Preisen macht? Oder gehe ich zum #Repaircafe? #Boost willkommen! #Followerpower

Migrating from toot.community to cupoftea.social so here's an #introduction ... I'm Hilly, #GenX dad. I love messing on with #computers and #gameconsoles #handheldgaming #MiSTerFPGA, and my #ThinkPad . Really getting into #linux recently, daily driving #CachyOS and runnning #Debian and #AntiX on some older laptops too. Music is important to me, lots of #90s stuff like #grunge #indie #britpop #triphop and also current artists like #MagdalenaBay #AmylandtheSniffers and #CowboyHunters . I believe that this is ife and there's nowt after it so might as well get on with everyone and the big roundie under my feet.

Giving #Ironfox a go on my mobile instead of #Firefox . Also going to try #Librewolf instead of #Qutebrowser to see how I go on my #FreeBSD #ThinkPad .

Priority for September: buy an additional used #ThinkPad as cheaply as possible (spec not important), install #NetBSD and see how well the #Linux apps I use are supported. #Debian #Kernel #NoAI #AIslop

Most of this setup has been progressively pulled out of ewaste piles over a period of several years and I think it's finally time for it to run NetBSD and fulfil its true destiny. Is a computer from 2012 actually "retro"? Well ... it will be when I'm done with it. #retrocomputing #thinkpad #NetBSD

Ich hab den 16 J alten ThinkPad T510i meines Vaters wiederbelebt, indem ich die Festplatte gegen eine SSD getauscht und Linux Mint installiert habe. Es ist ein Dual-Core i5 mit 6 GB RAM, der vorher unter Windows 8.1 fast unbenutzbar war. Jetzt bootet er in 5-7s. und Firefox, Youtube, Libreoffice, usw. laufen problemlos. #linux #linuxmint #thinkpad #pc #computers

My setup for recording game play tonight: 42" LG C2 OLED TVMSI Claw 8 AI+IVANKY Dock (the Claw is sitting on it) with HDMI out to external capture card, USB for mouse and controller.Ugreen external USB-C video capture card that can do up to 4K at 144hz. Almost zero lag loopback for video to my TV. It's hidden behind the Claw.Lenovo ThinkPad 14s gen 5 running Fedora Linux 44 (Silverblue) with OBS Studio to record game play.El cheapo TMKB M1 mouse. It might be cheap ($29), but it is pretty awesome and performs just as good as the $80+ name brand mice (looking at you Logitech, why are your mice so expensive?)Gamesir Cyclone 2 controller with TMR sticks.Old Microsoft Designer keyboard. It's old, but it's super compact and thin. It keeps my desktop nice and tidy.#gaming #videogames #gear #lg #msi #ugreen #lenovo #thinkpad #gamesir #microsoft #keyboard #controller #mouse #handheld #tv

Still no good news with the freshly out #NetBSD 11.0 RELEASE. S3 suspend woke up with dead WiFi (Intel 8265, iwm driver), in addition to keyboard and touchpad as before on my #ThinkPad T470s. So basically dead machine and no way to reset unless long press power button for a hard reboot. Desktop usability needs more love. #runBSD #BSD #Unix #AskFedi

chat do any of you need lenovo thinkpad L14 parts ? pay what you want, shipping in EU, crypto payments ok too ill js keep them for myself if not, i already took the wifi card, the iwlwifi card is not an official thinkpad L14 part posting cuz someone may save like idk 50 eur from official sources, everything is working except i think the iGPU from the motherboard no refunds outside of lithuania, too much hassle internationally #pcparts #laptopparts #thinkpad #thinkpadparts #lenovo #hardware #nvme #ram #battery #selling #saving

Thinkpads are so great. Mine has been so reliable. #Thinkpad

Using ThinkPad T480 as a mobile phone https://grego.site/blog/thinkphone #HackerNews #Tech #ThinkPad

Bought a second-hand #ThinkPad L14 Gen 2a (#AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 5650U). Plenty fast enough for what I do, at about 15% of the price of a current model. Installed #FedoraLinux and, so far, everything works, even the fingerprint reader. Repairable, upgradeable, and a small reminder that we don't always need the latest hardware. #FrugalComputing #RightToRepair

#openbsd users, what #laptops are you running successfully? curious to know your preference. #thinkpad takes priority i'm working on a small project with openbsd and would like hardware recommendation besides the t480s i fried recently

Got myself a Thinkpad on Ebay. I installed Ubuntu on it. Happy with it so far! Iris likes it too! #Thinkpad #Plushtodon

Works well and very speedy as you’d expect. No browser, no email, no WiFi - just Office XP (thanks to the Internet Archive) which I’ll use for writing. #WindowsXP #WriterDeck #Thinkpad

Decided Ubuntu was too meaty for my old Thinkpad for use as a distraction free writer deck, so going old school… #WindowsXPProfessional #Thinkpad

My notebook is faster, since I replaced the keyboard! This is not a joke. The keyboard bezel is the central structure everything is attached to on the #Thinkpad X13s. So to replace it, you really need to disassemble everything. Including the heatsink and reattaching it with fresh thermal grease. By coincidence the stuff I used seems to be better than the original. So now the thermal throtteling doesn't kick in anymore. But the underside does get a bit warmer now. https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/x13s_gen1_hmm_en.pdf
