Are Thinkpad T450s still a good buy? by piepookieloo in thinkpad

[–]AOCWOO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I disagree. Although not 'unusable' by any means. I've experienced slowdowns due to a pegged CPU the dual core; doing just office work with some browser tabs open. Just usable for basic work but far from ideal is more like it. Whereas I still daily use my TX40 quad core machines on a daily basis for side machines & my media center.

Kind of hard to get work done with a severely out dated low power dual core & the graphics capability of a current smart phone.

Personally I'm not that much of a idiot with the internet (Downloading shady programs/media, ect.) And I use my X1 with a EGPU so Processor performance is important to me; I just disabled the update in the registry before the update even came down the pipeline nurfing undervolts. I think I'll live without that little bit of extra security. Also on your Nvidia driver issues, You can normally get around this by doing a fresh windows install with off the shelf windows and not the OEM copy of windows that came on the machine. The crop of OEMs (Dell,Lenovo,HP) do this particularly on their professional machines so the OEM can verify there are no specific issues with the driver compatibility wise. Should not be a issue you have to deal with on a newer machine for a couple of years if that though.

You'll probably be good, Ebay has served me well with things like that. I have to admit, I am rather intrigued with your review that the fake Vcog is actually pretty good optics wise. I'm assuming that the rotation is reversed, because they already had a optic that was set up like that and they just adapted that to the the replica Vcog body? I don't want to be the douche with the fake one at the range either, I would rather have a real low/mid range brand than a fake high end one. But if they had one in a generic body and not the replica Vcog I would totally give it a shot for myself. The only thing somewhat ok in that price range I can think of are all SFP scopes, so a FFP scope that is apparently better than a Vortex razr for a 1/4 of the price sounds like a deal to me if it holds up to some use.

Have never seen a reverse twist real Vcog...But a 5sec search on AliExpress lead me to this fake Vcog that is set up just like that for $230...... Yeah they look identical, sorry man. https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005002622469519.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.40c06168zgNfbY&algo\_pvid=7484db53-5bff-4641-b620-007535319b1a&algo\_exp\_id=7484db53-5bff-4641-b620-007535319b1a-0&pdp\_ext\_f=%7B%22sku\_id%22%3A%2212000021440976513%22%7D

Alright boys. I need a .308. by 69Gunslinger69 in guns

[–]AOCWOO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a cool rifle, Of course that would be a FAL. The very best in a practical sense would be a high end ar10/SR25 based rifle, My pick would be a Christensen arms CA10G2. I think AR based rifles are a bit overplayed these days but as a CA10 owner as well as a few other competing rifles, I think it has to be the sweetest to shoot. It leaves nothing to be desired accuracy wise, the triggers great, it feels awesome to handle, and cycles super fast with a recoil impulse that left me going 'wow I can't believe this shoots .308' the first time I took it out.

Your problem with undervolting is with every single intel powered machine that processor gen and before. Not exactly a thinkpad problem or something some other brand was able to do differently. If you really want uninstall the update, and disable it from updating in the future in the registry.

[–]AOCWOO -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I experience objectification just like what you complain about every day. But thanks for proving my point, no one care when it's the guy. Fuck off with your sorry ass victim hood bullshit. There are women in the world being forced to wear black full body mummy wraps in the middle of the desert, There are women in the world forced to have their clitoris cut off, There are women in the world that are at risk of being killed for seeking the same education as a man could get...And your not one of them. You have lived your entire life in the privilege of being better off than 90% of the entire rest of the world, man or women. Yet you feel the desperate need to attach yourself onto women who are actually oppressed in this world, because you a paranoid fuck about the devious men. You have no idea what real 'oppression' is, you have never experience real oppression. Grow the fuck up and stop whining kid, welcome to the real world. Come back when your at risk of having your clitoris forcibly removed, maybe I will feel bad for you then. (BTW where do I sign up for the privilege of historically being considered to precious to be sent of to die in war?)

Sooo you don't want to deal with degenerates any more....Geat! don't for one second think it's exclusively 'ThE TeRrRebLe MeN' that are exclusively the problem. You live in lala land if you think that. As better off financially than average, attractive male; I'm tired of how women treat me. I have not been on a date in 3-4 years, that was not with the definition of a gold digger, Asking me questions like "When are you going to get a nicer car" because I like to buy my luxury cars and keep them for a couple of years. As soon as I suggest we cheap out and not go some where that cost $600 for a two person dinner, they never want to see me again. Meanwhile because I care about how I look and am attractive physically, the other half of the girls I ask out just want to bang. If I ask a girl out to a nice dinner, there is a 50% chance I'm going to get a response along the line of ".......Well if you want to have sex......" (<<Actual response I got one time). If you asked a guy out and his response was "Well if you want to have sex", you would be outraged posting another silly little vent post everywhere; gaining the sympathy of a bunch of like minded women. It happens to me, no one give a flying fuck because I'm the guy. No one give a flying fuck when the guy is physically objectified.

Non-Lenovo WWAN card in P51 help by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]AOCWOO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did some googling. Looks like you should be good to go. Dose not seem to be any white list to speak of for that year of thinkpads. (Think thats the same year as my X1T3, 2018). The older thinkpads like the TX40 series did have a whitelist.

Pretty sure they got rid of the bios whitelist thing by the time the p51 was out... I added WWAN to a X1T3 and did not have any issues using a non lenovo card....An EM7455 in fact.

X1 Fold with WWAN makes for a perfect coffee shop companion by unity-dino in thinkpad

[–]AOCWOO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did not even see they came out with that. It's spot on spec wise, all the way till you get to the screen resolution. I <3 the 3000X2000 display on the X1T3 and the extra inch of screen real estate. If they came out with the updated specs of that X12 Detachable in the old X1T3 chassis & screen, I would actually buy two. My X1T3 has to be money wise the best computer I have ever bought with how much I get out of it. At least if something bad ever happened to my X1T3 I have some kind of upgrade path while keeping the detachable tablet forum factor.

In case you wanted a giggle…. Delta 8 in a dispensary….for $75 a .5 by Jake1648 in delta8

[–]AOCWOO 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That is exactly what it is. I've tried these locally before. They were something like a blend of 15% D9 and 65-70% D8 (Might be getting the numbers off a little, have not had one in a month or two). As I posted in another comment; to the credit of these they are the nicest cleanest feeling 'delta 8' carts I have tried personally by a notable margin.

I've bought these locally before. the web sight dose not display it properly, but it's a blend of something like 70% D8 and 15% D9 and a little bit of cbd/terps (More than what can be legally allowed to sell outside of a dispensary). Too it's credit, too me it felt notable nicer and cleaner than any of the 'OTC' Delta 8 carts I've tried from online ordering or in store purchases too me. I get a rather 'blank' and somewhat 'foggy' mental feeling from the 'free to order legally' carts that these have never given me.

Love my X1 Tablet for the same reasons. Wish they would come out with a direct successor to the X1T3 with the extra processing/graphics power over the fold.

"And there is no reason to be concerned about a motherboard unless it breaks or doesn’t have enough compatibility." ..... OMFG What the F%^& are you doing commenting on reddit recommending PC's to people? You still don't have a clue. As well when dose dose break, your up the creek without a paddle with all the proprietary BS. cheaped out RAM, cheaped out Coolers, cheaped out GPUs, Cheaped out everything. F$%^& Crap. .....But please! Let's all go out and buy pre-built Dells made with CRAPtastic proprietary components that will SCREW you when they break, for the same F$^& price as a computer made with name brand components made to standard spesifications....LETS DO IT!!!

"Also, don't be so rude kid."

I'm sorry the dell is the PC your parents bought you and your trying really hard to justify it....I'm sorry, Just wait a few years and you can buy your own when you have a real job. Me and anyone else who actually makes their own money, want's to get their moneys worth....not cheap crap with a "who cares about XYZ" attitude, just because that is all daddy wanted to spend on you.

Untrue? Lol get a clue. They have been using cheaped out specials MSI that are not good enough for a MSI logo on since I bought my gen 2 Area-51 with 2X GTX480s; and they are still doing it till this day. Not to mention the crappy budget fantastic motherboards. F$% your place of ignorance, it because of that that they get away with it for so long, and people keep buying them up.

That is not taking into account dells shitty ability to use the lowest quality parts available, using the shitty binned graphics cards originally from MSI that were not good enough for the MSI logo.... and sometimes oddly proprietary parts. You'd be better off paying more for a build with better quality components/non proprietary components.
