Neville ParkMy new #ThinkPad nubbin arrived! Very comfy and responsive.
(From this shop: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/SaotoTech)
idle question: does anyone (ideally in Canada) sell refurbished ThinkPad X230s with all the upgrades done? bigger SSD, more RAM, etc. (OS not required.)
at this point in my life i would absolutely pay extra for someone to do all the hunting for parts, hardware installing, etc.
@jarek listen,,,,,
speaking of, the trackpoint on my keyboard (it's a separate USB keyboard with a trackpoint in it, not the one on my laptop) is getting worn down and needs replacing. i could order official parts but is anyone making, like, special or even better trackpoints? 🔴 #AskFedi #ThinkPadClub #thinkpad
nevtook the plunge, going mouseless
i just got around to making myself at "home" (by swapping the fn and ctrl, thank goodness I have a Windows box to use <https://superuser.com/a/1608389>)
back home
i'm thinking I should use this for like a dating profile pic or something as it hits all the important points about me: cuddling cat, not getting up, black T-shirt, not photogenic, refurbished thinkpad
thinkpad battery replacement update: decided not to go with any of the sketchy options and just order off the official replacement parts site, which luckily had the right one in stock: https://lenovo.encompass.com/
it cost more, but it arrived literally the next day?? anyway, no complaints.

devolute@kroc @NanoRaptor …and there is a bizarrely placed [FN] key somewhere so that half the time you fire you end up triggering some bizarre macro #ThinkPadClub
bad news: one of my laptop batteries is a spicy pillow
good news: my laptop doesn't weigh as much now
