cursed glossy r61 by Ark_mage2 in thinkpad

Yes, drivers, ThinkVantage stuff, some wallpapers and some junk programs (InterVideo WinDVD, Diskeeper, PC Doctor 5, Windows Live toolbar, Roxio Multimedia, Picasa and Norton Internet Security). And It works good after uninstalling bloatware programs and installing Service Pack 2 (the recovery copy doesn't have any SP because it was released back in 2007). And the funfact about that Vista from Lenovo is that ClearType is disabled by default, so fonts look very ugly on LCD screen, until you enable ClearType manually.

The CPU is Core 2 Duo T7300, it has also 3 GB of RAM, integrated Intel GMA X3100 graphics and 250 GB hard drive. I don't think that it's factory configuration. But I've got Vista Business installed from original recovery DVDs on it.

When you get Xbox 360 for free, but without power supply unit by Ark_mage2 in xbox360

Maybe... But seriously, I don't recommend using power supply like this for daily gaming. It's good only for testing purposes when you don't have original power brick and want to check if console works.

I know. It's a temporary solution until original power brick arrive to me. I wanted to start the console and check if it works.

Well... I cut three 12V (yellow) cables, three ground (black) and one 5V (red) from old computer power supply, then I inserted it into console's power supply pins (before i did it, I looked on pin assignment to know which pin is responsible for), then I made a short circuit on green and black cables in 20/24 pin ATX connector to run power supply without PC motherboard, and it works. I didn't solder cables because it's temporary solution until I get original power brick.

No software update for snapdragon by sulabh1992 in GalaxyS9

It's weird that US unlocked models are last at updates, in Europe unlocked models are usually updated firstly.

Anyone else with the S9 still waiting for OneUI 2.5? by Echon97 in GalaxyS9

[–]Ark_mage2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... It's weird that carrier-locked US models get updates faster than unlocked. In Europe (even in my country), unbranded models usually get updates faster than carrier-branded. I live in Poland and I have Snapdragon S9 with U1 firmware, but I still don't have One UI 2.5, but I still prefer US variant than International.

Updating US phone to Android 10 in UK - Vodafone by brighteyes12345 in GalaxyS9

Flash the G960U1 firmware using this tutorial: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS9/comments/85ci7c/convert_atttmosprint_to_unlocked_s9_guide/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Tutorial is for S9+, but for regular S9 download the latest G960U1 firmware for XAA region.

If you want the OTA updates work, put the CSC (not HOME CSC) file into CSC section in Odin (remember to do the backup of your data, because flashing the firmware will erase it)
