I just replaced the keyboard on my Thinkpad for the second time. The old one seen here was a little beat up, so it's nice to have a fresh one, but now it feels weird to type.
Searched NetApp knowledge base for information about configuring a particular network parameter. At the top of the search results was an AI answer which helpfully explained what the parameter does (which was pretty much accurate) and the range of allowed values, plus commands to view and modify it. Which would be exactly what I was looking for, if only those commands actually existed. I really can't stand AI trash.
Had to make an emergency repair to my Thinkpad power brick. The wire had broken internally so I cut out the bad section.

This disk is insanely rare. Like not just the usual eBay "L @ @ K RARE OMG A 40-YEAR-OLD SAVE ICON" but like this is the only original copy known to exist. It came boxed and shrink-wrapped with manual and all paperwork intact. (They will be uploaded soon.) And as far as we can tell, the disk was literally never booted...

...

...because it was mis-mastered and didn't work.
