I found the specs a bit interesting. 52.7 kWh battery and a curb weight of 3,600 lbs is nearly identical to the Chevy Bolt, but this only has a range of 150 miles instead of 240. Is it really that much less efficient? The only thing I can think of is the aerodynamics, but that’s a 40% difference.

Thinkpads are extremely well documented. For how to repair/replace parts, you need the HMM. Just Google for “Thinkpad t14 Gen 1 HMM” and you should find the official PDF on their site. That will tell you, step by step, how to replace the keyboard.

As for the part itself, you can again check Lenovo’s site for all compatible parts (FRUs) and find the item number and details. While I wouldn’t recommend buying directly from them due to cost, this should give you the information needed to find it elsewhere. eBay has tons of Thinkpads being sold for parts, and many of these will be parted out. You should have no issues finding what you’re looking for.

There are some public numbers on how many occurrences are found each year on the major platforms.

IIRC, Facebook deals with around 75 million reports per year. Twitter, Reddit, and others were around 20 million reports per year.

I don’t know how many are dealt with on Mastodon or Lemmy (or how you’d even get reliable numbers for that), but something tells me it’s a lot less than the bigger platforms these days.

They all have to work (at least to an extent) using only x1. It’s part of the PCIe spec.

Missing pins are actually extremely common. If your board has a slot that’s x16 (electrically x8), which is very common for a second video card, take a closer look. Half the pins in the slot aren’t connected. It has the full slot to make you feel better about it, and it provides some mounting stability, but it’s electrically the same as an x8 that’s open.

USB the protocol, or just uses a USB cable? If it’s not using the protocol, the cables are a cheap way of getting cables of a certain spec.

This might be interesting. I turned off all of my Google history years ago. I presume they still collected all of it.

This could reveal some of that.

“Lemmy is independent Reddit” has worked well for me

This can get a bit complicated with federation. This community is hosted on LW. I am accessing it via sopuli.xyz, and you via feddit.uk. All (presumably) have full bidirectional federation with each other.

When I hit send, this message will go to Sopuli’s outbox, which will then sync to LW for this community. At that point, this post will live on LW’s servers. Anyone accessing LW directly can see it, even if Sopuli were to go down. Later (probably less than a minute), LW will sync to Feddit.uk, at which point you will be able to see it.

Note that this is for text posts only. There have been some changes around images and video, both for bandwidth and liability reasons.

We don’t have 5 9s, but we do have 9 5s.

That would probably result in teams that have the shortest players possible (to lower the rim), and 1 or 2 tall players to exploit that.

It’s more like claiming to own a subreddit, or a Twitter hashtag.

“Having a Discord server” doesn’t mean what those words normally mean.

Yes, they exist, as I acknowledged. How old is it? Is it representative of what you’d find at a standard big box retailer?

For it to work, it means the controls must all be manual and mechanical. This is in contrast to the “smart” features that are very common.

Oh, and FWIW - if you live somewhere with an unstable power grid, a natural gas or LP stove will continue to function when the power is out, albeit you’ll need to light it manually.

This is only true on the simplest (or older) gas stoves. Most models these days have all sorts of electronics, including features to prevent gas leaks.

In the meantime, you can turn off a lot of Google’s tracking, or at least their record keeping. Make sure you’ve disabled all of the tracking you can.

I won’t speak to how the UK does things, but in the US this would make for an easier criminal charge.

It can be difficult to prove that someone stole (or is about to steal) a car, or broke in to steal the contents. This is especially true if they weren’t apprehended in or with the vehicle itself. But if they are arrested on suspicion, and one of these devices is found on them, they can very easily be prosecuted for possession of criminal tools. It’s similar to how we normies can’t legally own a lockpicking kit unless we’re locksmiths.

Not removed - never added to the US designs. They were added afterwards to models being sold in places that require them.

How is that different from the Office 365 installation I have at work? Other than the fact that it can actually operate entirely offline for a significant time, unlike what the article describes?

Or did you redefine O365 to only mean the web version?

It’s true for all brands, but especially true for Lenovo - the enterprise machines are nothing like the consumer-grade crap.

A lot of people will incorrectly shorten it, and even pass it on with the error. But the advice isn’t to get a Lenovo; it’s to get a Thinkpad. Do not get an IdeaPad, or whatever other names they use for the cheap crap. Get a Thinkpad.

It’s a similar story with HP’s Omen vs Elitebook and Dell’s Inspiron/Vostro vs Latitude. The enterprise line is very different in every way.

This report draws no distinction between them, as evidenced in the one section that lists models.

As for repairability, I’ve always found it easy to find the HMM for Thinkpads. My experience is limited, but they’ve also been relatively easy to disassemble and reassemble.

Yep, these are some of the extra variables. If the buyer would not have otherwise bought a Tesla, it changes things entirely. Same for the (slight) increase in supply of used Teslas lowering the price, making them more attractive to buyers.

But I’m going to hazard a guess that anyone buying a used Tesla today was already going to buy one, limited only by their finances.
