Mobiles Mini-#Tonstudio.

Das #MacBook von 2017 ist bei weitem nicht überfordert mit der Aufgabe, fängt aber bereits bei 5 bis 10% Systemauslastung unglaublich an zu pusten, sodass man eigentlich in einen anderen Raum damit muss. #Apple, so gefeiert, ich kann's immer noch nicht nachvollziehen.

Einsatzgrund: #RME #TotalMix für das #Fireface400 ist einfach so viel besser als #ffadomixer unter #UbuntuStudio #Linux. Letzterer wäre auf meinem #Thinkpad verfügbar und würde auch mit diesem Interface funktionieren.

#Ardour bleibt Ardour, auch auf #OSX.

Finally I managed to make my graphics work again in FreeBSD after upgrading from 14.1 to 14.2 on my Thinkpad. I wrote a post about it in case someone could find it useful. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

I was thinking of buying a new-to-me #Thinkpad next month, but I think what I'll do instead is try to spruce up my #PinebookPro:

  • Get new rubber feet
  • Get a bigger SSD
  • Install #pmOS and finally have #FDE on the thing
  • Put some proper locktite on the screws so it's not falling apart all the time

I need to look up some videos on applying threadlocker to screws. It's much looser stuff than the typical locktite and it tends to make a mess.

I'm debating just dribbling locktite (regular CA) on top of the screws as well to try to make them a little more permanent. Not a great solution, but the thing just loves to fall apart.

It's always best to try to #reuse! <3

@simonzerafa I mean obviously #reuse / #UseLonger is better and if your options are "corporate surplus" or nothing then I'd never judge.

To me it's just that #ThinkPad as a brand has really died as every single Device is a #downgrade in #repairability & #upgradeability compared to my #X230Tablet:

Personally, I wish I had €.€€€.€€€ so I could just develop the #NUCbook and be done with the #Enshittification of #Laptops / #Notebooks!

I mean, I'd not have any issues with a "shitty" #Netbook if it's prized acceptable.

  • And not €220+ for a Laptop with an #Atom #Z8350 & 2GB RAM and a 32GB eMMC that was €199 at lauch 10 years ago and €149 5 years ago.

Cuz then I might be better off buying a used #ThinkPad with #USBc, remove the dead battery and stap a Powerbank to it.

Tho I'd rather start the #NUCbook project instead or buy a @frameworkcomputer / #Framework12 instead...

Obviously all the Cool Kidz use second hand ThinkPads running Linux.

I'm after a cheap daily driver having always been in Mac (well also Asahi and the server this Social Media Conglomerate runs on).

Any tips or models to look out for? Ideally I want something less than £200. Well I say ideally, I can barely afford £200!

Anyway, help/advice appreciated.

Zwischen 1993 und 2001 wurden in der 2xx-Serie 4 äußerst kompakte Notebooks produziert. Bis auf ein Gerät wurden diese Ultraportables mit spannenden Eigenarten, wie kuriosen Eingabegeräten oder Kolaborationen, ausschließlich im asiatischen Raum vertrieben.

Zum umgestrittenen ThinkPad X9 sind ein früher kritischer Testbericht sowie ein Interview mit Tom Butler erschienen. Auch gab es erste Hands-On der neuen ThinkPads T14s 2-in-1 und X13 Gen 6.

Looking for #Linux help, if you're so inclined.

I am (gods help me) trying to get a #Brother printer/scanner working in #Debian 12 / #Gnome 43.9 on a #Thinkpad #T480S.

Before a recent reintallation of hte OS, the #CUPS driver used to work for printing but not scanning, *and* the Brother Linux printer drivers used to make the scanner work, too.

support.brother.com/g/b/downlo

But now, neither works, and I get the error message: "Unable to locate printer" (followed by the correct IP address).

Follow up:

Got the (new to me) T14 Gen3 #ThinkPad and installed #Fedora 41 on it. Despite being a used machine, it is in better condition than my daily driver MacBook Pro from 2021.

Also, damn, this thing seems like it was made for Linux. Everything worked out of the box flawlessly.

The only snag was that it wouldn't boot from a USB C SD card reader but was fine from a USB-A reader (... weird).
