i wish lenovo would maka a special edition of the old think pads, where its the same computer but with transparent casing, if they made only 100 of this linux nerds would be hunting them down like its the one piece
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:
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

@simonzerafa I mean obviously #reuse / #UseLonger is better and if your options are "corporate surplus" or nothing then I'd never judge.
To me it's just that #ThinkPad as a brand has really died as every single Device is a #downgrade in #repairability & #upgradeability compared to my #X230Tablet:
They have #SolderedDownRAM even on P-Series #Workstation machines, not just cheap cheap #Lenovo consoomer devices.
Batteries ain't toolfree-swappable anymore!
#WWAN modules are worse (i.e. #Fibocom #850GL aka. #Intel #XMM7360)
#Linux support gets worse and neither Lenovo nor @ubuntu feel responsible on a "#Ubuntu-certified Workstation" (i.e. #P15v)
Less & Worse #Docking options.
Most machines don't offer Linux or to eveb to opt-out of #Govware noone should pay their overcharged premium for (in fact #Microsoft pays Lenovo $25 for every #Windows #preinstall so they don't ship Linux, they don't even pay the $10 for an #OEM-#UEFI-Key, much less the $135+ of a #SystemBuilder version they charge for!)
...
Personally, I wish I had €.€€€.€€€ so I could just develop the #NUCbook and be done with the #Enshittification of #Laptops / #Notebooks!
I mean, I'd not have any issues with a "shitty" #Netbook if it's prized acceptable.
Cuz then I might be better off buying a used #ThinkPad with #USBc, remove the dead battery and stap a Powerbank to it.
Tho I'd rather start the #NUCbook project instead or buy a @frameworkcomputer / #Framework12 instead...
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.

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).
@xinniw @frameworkcomputer That a crazy price 
– I can buy refubrished cooling system (fan + thermal tubes + radiator) for #thinkpad for 12$. And the new one from AliExpress will not cost so much – near 30$ or like this I think
Don't we all fail to hold our excitement at times? #Thinkpad
Follow up:
Got the (new to me) T14 Gen3 #ThinkPad and installed #Fedora 41 on it. Despite being a used machine, it is in better condition than my daily driver MacBook Pro from 2021.
Also, damn, this thing seems like it was made for Linux. Everything worked out of the box flawlessly.
The only snag was that it wouldn't boot from a USB C SD card reader but was fine from a USB-A reader (... weird).
? Holy wings!
