>>106970524>x61 for 70 bucksIf you care about installing a free firmware, I've seen x60 motherboards (assuming the model is an x61 and not an x61s) sell for ~$20. >I’m rather new to vintage computing >I just want to use it for light browsing and YouTubeDo yourself a favor and just stick with your T480. I have an x60, and although I used to use it as my main shitposting toaster back then, it's really nothing more than a novelty these days--the 4:3 aspect ratio is cool, except when it isn't. YouTube is slow as fuck and the screen to honestly too small sometimes. If you're dead-set on buying e-waste, you'll need to install an SSD and upgrade the wifi card so that it doesn't cook your balls. The CCFL backlight might be dim too, so you'll probably want to replace that and the TN panel with that of an x61t. Just stick with your T480 and libreboot it. It's not entirely functional yet, so be wary. Most people would recommend you buy an X230 instead, but a T480 is good for longevity I think. >>106974355See above. Also, I don't remember if it was the T60 or T61 that has the dGPU, but it shits itself pretty often. >>106974439Kapton tape maybe?>>106972734Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>106977689Using Mint as a base OS with virtual box running 7, 10 LTSC IoT and 11 LTSC IoT VMs is where I'd go if I had a powerful enough machine with enough RAM, CPU and hard drive space (or preferably SSD space). That way I'm the fucking boss.

Prices have already risen and they do not drop any more. As you can see year long waits are expected for 30TB+ HDDs. The same applies to RAM and SSDs too, OpenAI plans to buy 40% of all NAND in the world next year, going directly to SK Hynix and Samsung, purchasing the wafers themselves before they are even turned into chips, other AI companies will snap up the rest, there will be nothing left for end users.OpenAI's Stargate project has a $500 Billion budget and they plan to spend all of it.

I love putting my hand on the cool, metallic surface of a pc case with a humming HDD inside. The vibrations make me feel alive.
I don't mind noises for the most part, but my laptop gives coil whine when you touch the touchpad. in a quiet room at night it will drive you crazy. not even moving it around, just touching it creates the whine and the only way to fix it is to turn off cpu boostsay what you want about Steve Jobs but he would never let a product ship like that

Never buy Linsoul owned brands. They're no better than KZ stuff, even if they cost $500. Don't buy Penon either. What to buy? Aful, Fiio, Letshuoer, KZ.
>>106973036IEMs are only useful for musicians and no one else should ever use them
>>106978340They're useful to me.
$100 is the sweet spot. Anything more and you're either overpaying or getting something worse than a $100 iem (something worse pretending to be good). Anything less and you get compromises on build quality, cable and accessories.
So, you had a couple weeks to adapt to herAre you enjoying windows 11 now?
I've unironically come around after using LTSC. Windhawk fixes all my problems with the start menu/taskbar plus a ton more. I also find I have to restart a lot less in general. Adding a device to equalizer apo for example no longer needs a reboot.

I was a 7 purist for a long time, but I figure I'll relegate that to a few machines and keep using rufus to throw W11 on random shit. It works well enough for what I do, and I'm competent enough to switch it back if need be.Btw sometimes a BIOS update on your Win10 machine can make you eligible for Windows 11 if you're concerned about not being "truly" licensed. Virtual TPM was added to some manufacturers BIOS updates and so you may not need a physical chip. Or just use rufus lol

eating sufficient protein. having a physical job.
>>106977390Get a chair that inclines back. Most office chairs have a lever under the seat that unlocks the ability for the chair to lean back. When I am at my desk and typing, I have my keyboard on my lap and am reclined back with my feet up on my bed which is next to my desk.
