@eloy you’d be surprised how many classic thinkpads I have! high double digits

@domi @eloy Sounds like a big project if you want to display them all.
Show threadint*dmi;*dmi=0 // --> WHY2025Jul 8
@DerMolly @eloy not necessarily all; also i’m not sure if i want to keep them open, i definitely want them to be easily accessible to play with tho

@eloy @domi I need to bring my CANON Laptop with integrated Printer to an event sometimes and show you.
Show threadEloy. @ WHY18650Jul 8
@DerMolly @domi that laptop was literally in the above picture xD
Show threadMollyJul 8
@eloy @domi Ah cool. Do you happen to get the printer running?
Show threadEloy. @ WHY18650Jul 8
@DerMolly @domi the screen is quite in a bad shape but it does boot. The printer is not working currently, but it might be just an empty cartridge. I should try it again.
Show threadMollyJul 8
@eloy @domi Iirc it needed a driver and a fresh ink cartridge.

@DerMolly @domi It's running some software from a German insurance company, DEVK.

@eloy @domi My disk got whipped some years ago.
Show threadEloy. @ WHY18650Jul 8
@DerMolly @domi it's a fun disk, does not support LBA. So it does not work with IDE->USB adapters, you need a "real" IDE controller

@eloy @domi I only remember that it was quite tricky to see something on the screen. Took a very precise setting on the contrast and brightness dials
