slam their head against the wall

I already do that enough as it is with Windows 11...

They tried this with heated seats and no one wanted it, what made them think would we accept this?

German car makers have become such a joke in the last decade...

Did you report them to wherever you can report animal abuse to?

Great album; was my first exposure to Red Vox more or less and while I wouldn't say it's their best (I like Realign more) it's definitely up there.

They made them in Mexico until 2011, but only for the domestic market.

I was referring to the term old-timer pretty much meaning classic car in German.

The bugs were just a bonus^^ And yes, bugs are quite cool, especially the car variety.

Australia.

Stunning nature, nice people, killer animals; what's not to love?

The U24 pro, although that one isn't that little (6.8")

Eh. Just looks like any other oversized SUV to me. I miss when cars had distinct designs...

 
 

Edit: Looks like you can opt-out of that "new look and feel" pretty easily under the appearance settings but still, whats with putting rounded corners everywhere?

Edit 2: "Explore the web with a softer, more friendly aesthetic featuring rounded corners [..] Designed to complement your operating system, whether on Windows 11, MacOS, or Linux." The fuck does that mean? Windows 11 fair enough but most Linux distros don't look like that at all.

Got this T540p for free from work, it came with a dual-core i5-4200M, 8GB of RAM, the awful 1080p TN panel and the GT730M dGPU.

Upgrades: New TrackPad (T450 Synaptics), i7-4700QM, 16 GB DDR3L RAM, AUO B156HAN01.2, and a good clean (yep, that's an upgrade in my books).

The i7 runs quite well in there, I had some doubts about the thermal situation since it's a 47-watt chip in a dGPU model but so far it holds up pretty well with a -70mw undervolt and Arctic MX-4 thermal paste. Idle it gets up to around 45°C, under load I've never seen it get hotter than 75°C. In addition to Throttlestop, I'm using TPFC on the "smart" setting to keep the noisy Toshiba fan from ramping up and down every .2 seconds.

The GT730M isn't good for much these days but it runs older games quite well. All in all, I ended up really liking this ThinkPad. It's very annoying to take apart, though.
