idle question: does anyone (ideally in Canada) sell refurbished ThinkPad X230s with all the upgrades done? bigger SSD, more RAM, etc. (OS not required.)
at this point in my life i would absolutely pay extra for someone to do all the hunting for parts, hardware installing, etc.

OMG, es ist endlich soweit! Meine Gebete/Beschwerden wurden erhört!
Ich habe vor mir ein neues Thinkpad und ganz links unten ist die Strg-Taste und rechts davon FN.
Endlich! Das hat mich immer gestört, dass die das anders rum hatten und endlich hat jemand mal eingesehen, dass das scheiße ist! 
My poor venerable #Thinkpad X220T has started experiencing hardware failures :( and the screen doesn't always do this, only seemingly when it has more than baseline load.
@miller I'm using it always, sometimes even if mouse or trackball connected to the laptop. Just because I can move the cursor without moving hands away from keyboard (yes, I'm lazy) 
Am i the only one who removes that red cap of the trackpoint on a #thinkpad?
Although Thinkpads are great Laptops, i never used that trackpoint, and its cap disturbs me when i'm typing.
Hey! 
i could start a poll!

@thinkpadmuseum every #ThinkPad is a lovely machine 
I'm on a #Thinkpad T14 running #Debian 12, and it doesn't recognize the wifi card. This happens when Thinkpads have a #Realtek WAN, and sadly, technicians have told me it is soldered on. However, two things
a) The Bluetooth works fine (on the same board, right?)
b) "lsusb" shows me this:
Bus 003 Device 006: ID 8087:0026 Intel Corp. AX201 Bluetooth
I'm confused by all this. Help would be appreciated.
What is old is new again. Lenovo China announces a white #ThinkPad exclusively for the Chinese market.

#ViernesDeEscritorio
Mi actual setup físico en la oficina y la tradicional captura de pantalla con la información del sistema.
Uso la PC a través de escritorio remoto el 99% del tiempo, desde la #ThinkPad.
Esta semana, cambié el icono para el botón de inicio (porque el logo de Fedora me recuerda demasiado a CaraLibro).
¿Qué tipo de información de sistema prefieren para los viernes de escritorio, terminal o gráfica?
As a proud ThinkPad user, I approve this 
**thinkfan-tui** — Monitor fan control and temperature on ThinkPad laptops.
Supports setting the fan speed.

If you are not familiar with the story of the #ThinkPad 701c, you may enjoy this video I put together a few years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8U40b1hWIE
For #ThinkPadThursday, I am prepping my film space with new lights and new audio before filming the assembly of this wonderful model kit. These were released exclusively in Japan for the 10th anniversary of #ThinkPad.
@vwestlife I still think that #Netbooks are good.
@nohaironheed In the past months i had no time but this summer will be the summer of #linux for me. I have lots of fun with my #steamdeck and my #thinkpad will receive the Linux treatment. But not with Mint but with #bazzite Linux ...
As a member of czech Gaming History NGO I've just sourced some old electronics from my relatives - including this beauty. Old IBM ThinkPad with Windows 95 and Intel Pentium. It has both a CD drive and a floppy drive. Ports include PS/2, D-SUB, serial and parallel. Didn't try to power it yet - we will check it first a little.
