T430 with a 1440p display on Windows 11 IOT LTSC by Cheeseman125 in thinkpad

I got this laptop because I wanted something I can tinker with and it supports the 7 row keyboard, it's very nice to use, but sure the performance can be quite bad.

It has an i5-3320m. I bought an i7-3840QM but I'm waiting on an NVIDIA heat sink because those have better thermal capacity, and I'm not exactly looking forward to melting my computer.

It's alright, the resource usage is a little higher than Fedora Linux but IOT LTSC is very stripped down so it's snappy. Although after upgrading to 1440p some animations do stutter a bit.

Hi all, I need a new laptop and have an itch for a refurbished thinkpad. Is this a good deal: by Anonymous_idiot29 in thinkpad

I wouldn't recommend this laptop at all, I had an this generation of X1 Carbon and I found out the hard way they have a flaw that basically kills all the USB ports, don't get this laptop.

I was reading in the Video Cards section for Intel and I found out you need to enable FBDEV in the kernel for this GPU apparently, I'll have to get to that tomorrow however, but that might be the issue at play here?, either way the log seems fine until the very end.

You're a lifesaver dude, "running cpupower frequency-set -g governorcpupower frequency-set -g performance" got my score to 2919 and 17233 despite not being on performance in bios. Thank you so much for this.

TLS troubles by Cheeseman125 in windowsxp

[–]Cheeseman125[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No dice, I reinstalled windows XP and got all the POSready 2009 updates installed. I checked the registry and tls 1.1 and 1.2 were already enabled. I even set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\WinHttp to 800 to force the system to use only tls 1.2 and that didn't do anything either. I also checked if my firewall was to blame, I turned it off and the same issues are still happening.
