I need my chunky reliable thinkpad
If I can't modify and replace the keyboard and battery, it better be gods gift to humanity levels of convenient and fast.
Bring back fat heavy lap tops. It's imperative that my laptop has love handles for uhhhh reasons.

i want devices that are functional and hardy and i want them to last and fuck the rest of the shit i dont need. my ds and 3ds can lie in sleep mode for months if not years and i can pop them open and they've still got two or three bars left. my old phones in high school could go days without a charge. if i leave my nintendo switch on the floor for a few days doing absolutely fuck all nothing i will turn it on and it will cry to me mother i am dying. i am dying mother. and i tell him he'll never be half the man his brother was and he can't hear me because he's dead

I remember reading a story where someone drunk off their ass just poured their beer on top of their thinkpad and drank it out the drain on the bottom, and just yelled "CAN YOU DO THIS WITH YOUR MACBOOK?"
funniest shit ever.

Went to my local thrift shop & found this Lenovo ThinkPad T460. I walked out with it for $32. ($12 was for the power supply & tax). It’s only issue was it had BitLocker. It was decommissioned but not wiped. I removed the drive wiped it & installed Arch Xfce4 base package plus Firefox & neofetch. Happy with this find. Battery is in good shape. Definitely has a matte display.
Messing with older laptops & Linux is better than doomscrolling & tv for me. Your mileage may vary.

Stuck PCMCIA modem card in this Thinkpad belonging to @ms-dos5. All my strength and a pair of pliers would not get it to eject. It was stuck in there good, figured it might have been a 32-bit card in a 16-bit socket or something.
Tumblr media
Took the whole thing apart to look for a lost screw, figured it was worth it to keep opening it up to see if an obvious way to remove the card was visible.
Tumblr media
Nothing. But we did find the lost screw, it was wedged somewhere it shouldn't have been inside of the RF shielding.
Finally realized that adhesive between the card and the PCMCIA cage was what was holding the stupid thing in place. Wedged a small screwdriver in there and slowly worked the adhesive apart. Once that friction was removed, the spring shot the card right out of the socket.
Tumblr media
You can see the residue on the text label there, after we finally got the stupid thing out of there.
Tumblr media
Sadly, card is trashed for the effort. But hey, it's free, and the Thinkpad is fine. Fortunately modem cards are a dime a dozen, not much use for these things in 2025. It's the future now, or something.
This machine did its part at VCF East XX
