You pretty much have to fully take apart the T540p and flip the mainboard over to get to the BIOS chip. Same for CPU upgrades.

Is there an easier way to mod the BIOS that doesn’t require taking the whole thing apart? AFAIK there was an IvyRain-esque mod in the works

How is the 4910MQ temperature-wise; did you have to do a heatsink mod?

I’d love to do a BIOS mod on my T540p to get rid of the WIFI whitelist but I can’t for the life of me take the thing apart without damaging the keyboard; it’s such a bad design.

Pocket was always among the first things I disabled when setting up Firefox and apparently, I wasn’t the only one doing that… I’m sure it had its users but I always found normal bookmarks to be more convenient.

Never even heard of Fakespot, though.

That’s a shame… T440ps are cool machines; I wish I had one. I’ve got a decked out T540p but it’s such a pain to work on

We need Affinity Photo for Linux asap… Even on a VM both Affinity Photo and Affinity Photo 2 keep crashing for some reason…

I recently spent 6 weeks in Australia, with much of that time spent outside. I did wore a hat for the most time but didn’t really bother with sunscreen; I got a nice tan but that’s about it.

All I can think about when looking at this is April by Deep Purple…

I mostly just wear normal clothing at home; just jeans and a t-shirt or a sweater. I don’t really hang one to worn out t-shirts/sweaters, unless they have some kind of special meaning to me. Once clothes get bigger holes in them I just throw them out or re-purpose them as rags…

So yeah, I just wear the same stuff at home that I would wear outside.

Of course it’s up to you whether you want to use something that, according to Microsoft, you’re not supposed to use, but the only “pirate-code” I had to run was to activate it. The upgrade itself was pretty straightforward. You could use it just fine without activating it if you wanted.

IMO it’s a better option buying a new computer to run Windows 11 officially. I’m not including Linux because I specifically wanted to keep Windows on the Laptop to run apps that don’t work on Linux.

I did an in-place upgrade as well. I was surprised how easy it was; it’s just one Registry key and from there you can just do a normal upgrade.

Way easier than installing Windows 11, which wouldn’t even officially run on my ThinkPad T540p…

I upgraded my Win 10 laptop to IoT Enterprise LTSC recently which is stupidly easy and grants you support till 2032.

Aside from some weird app incompatibilities it’s been working fine.

Mate, every time I go into even small suburban areas I see people driving RAM pickups, G-Wagons and other enormous SUVs.

This is a global problem, maybe it’s not as bad as it is in the US but it’s still there.

I’d fucking love to have a DeLorean; they’re bad cars but that’s where the similarities to the Cybertruck end. They’re just cool.

And because Nintendo likes to sue anyone who uses their IPs

Tokio; it’s just way too busy for me and all the tourists (particularly the ones that don’t have any manners) do their part.

Lately I’ve been enjoying playing Tetris DX on my Gameboy in my spare time. Keeps the brain busy and me away from my phone.

HARLEY AND DAVIDSON, I HAVE NO IDEA WHO EITHER OF THOSE ARE BUT THEY MAKE A GOOD HOG

I’d stay where I am and just travel back before the internet existed/was widely adopted

Why not just use it all the time then? It takes a bit of getting used to but it’s worth it.
