Now upgrading to #Debian #Trixie on my home laptop (#ThinkPad X260) ;)

I was thinking of buying a new-to-me #Thinkpad next month, but I think what I'll do instead is try to spruce up my #PinebookPro:

• Get new rubber feet
• Get a bigger SSD
• Install #pmOS and finally have #FDE on the thing
• Put some proper locktite on the screws so it's not falling apart all the time

I need to look up some videos on applying threadlocker to screws. It's much looser stuff than the typical locktite and it tends to make a mess.

I'm debating just dribbling locktite (regular CA) on top of the screws as well to try to make them a little more permanent. Not a great solution, but the thing just loves to fall apart.

It's always best to try to #reuse! <3

Obviously all the Cool Kidz use second hand ThinkPads running Linux.

I'm after a cheap daily driver having always been in Mac (well also Asahi and the server this Social Media Conglomerate runs on).

Any tips or models to look out for? Ideally I want something less than £200. Well I say ideally, I can barely afford £200!

Anyway, help/advice appreciated.

Along with @tubetime 's thread this morning, here are some other pictures from #EFM aka #electronicsFleaMarket

Not as good as last month, but a couple of finds.

Be sure to check out my pixelfed post for other pictures

Zwischen 1993 und 2001 wurden in der 2xx-Serie 4 äußerst kompakte Notebooks produziert. Bis auf ein Gerät wurden diese Ultraportables mit spannenden Eigenarten, wie kuriosen Eingabegeräten oder Kolaborationen, ausschließlich im asiatischen Raum vertrieben.

Zum umgestrittenen ThinkPad X9 sind ein früher kritischer Testbericht sowie ein Interview mit Tom Butler erschienen. Auch gab es erste Hands-On der neuen ThinkPads T14s 2-in-1 und X13 Gen 6.

Looking for #Linux help, if you're so inclined.

I am (gods help me) trying to get a #Brother printer/scanner working in #Debian 12 / #Gnome 43.9 on a #Thinkpad #T480S.

Before a recent reintallation of hte OS, the #CUPS driver used to work for printing but not scanning, *and* the Brother Linux printer drivers used to make the scanner work, too.

But now, neither works, and I get the error message: "Unable to locate printer" (followed by the correct IP address).

Lounging, watching Bahrain GP FP2, waiting for airplane home.

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.

Ooh, my #ThinkPad T14 showed up a day early. I'm gonna see how many #shmups will run well on it.

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.
