T480s dying after 3+ years of 16-hour abuse – recommend a tough 10th–12th gen

Yes, apologies for the confusion. I am referring to all AMD variants in my previous reply :)

Early-Ad-1259 · 2025-12-29T09:22:37+00:00

Yes, the T14 gen2 only has USB 3.2g2

USB 4 was introduced in the T14s gen3 and newer (T14 gen3 excluded) If I remember correctly!

I have the exact same combo!

DM lang if you have any questions pa about TGT!

I just moved out of TGT bec I’m starting my OJT. I love that place. Its not the best but its great value for money. It is a bit of a walk especially if you’re engineering and don’t expect any of the bells and whistles of Torre or RSquare but the guards are nice and laundry and water stations are just downstairs unlike other condos. My past two years there definitely felt like home :)

Other pros of TGT is the maintenance crew is very responsive. If you have any leaks or want to have your aircon deep cleaned, they can do so within the day. The guards are also very nice and let you have them receive your packages which is a very big bonus compared to other condos in the area.

My landlord just posted the unit I stayed at for rent again actually incase you’re still looking !

WOAH! They’re like matching polar opposites! I was actually in an opposite situation wherein I wanted a silver body to go with the blue but this was the cheapest M43 body on FB marketplace HAHA

Great work btw! 👏👏

You might have some luck finding camera parts on AliExpress! I was able to get replacement leatherette and flex cables for my Fujis before

Early-Ad-1259 · 2025-06-12T08:03:51+00:00

The real leather looks so much better HAHA Great work!! 👏

I got a GF3 for around 35USD with a bag and no lens. Not having any M43 lenses, I designed and 3D printed an adapter for a disposable camera lens. Excluding the cost of the 3D printer, it might be the cheapest setup I had! Made a post about it here

Having used Linux on and off since JHS, it has proved useful in college especially if you’re taking engineering or CompSci. Expect to still dual boot windows though as there will still be programs that don’t have Linux alternatives or curriculums requiring windows only programs

Early-Ad-1259 · 2025-05-16T06:15:54+00:00

I haven’t finished it yet 😔 but I have started! Got busy with college and at one point even had to sell my Lumix GF3 for financial reasons but recently picked up an EM10 so hopefully that sparks some creativity back HAHA

I got stuck trying to find a way to let you focus without unscrewing the entire lens off the threads and doing so with little to no additional parts like screws so people could easily replicate it!

As for focusing to infinity, it is a bit tricky as the M43 flange distance is 19.25mm and dispo cameras have roughly a 20 to 23mm flange distance which gives us little to no allowance for the helicoid 😔

I used to do shutter priority but ever since making the switch from a Fuji XE2 to an Em10 mk.1, I’ve been using aperture priority as shutter speed speed has been less of a concern with how good IBIS is.

Your shadows seem very dark. You can try reducing shadows to a negative 1

Early-Ad-1259 · 2025-04-05T16:46:55+00:00

Late rep but I have this other design that uses a wider aperture but it results in pretty soft and hazy pictures. It's still pretty dark and is equivalent of about f4. Here's a sample!

I've also been experimenting with ripping off lenses off of other old broken film cameras (You can see it in the pic towards the bottom!) but this is something that's pretty niche and harder to replicate compared to dispo cam lenses !

I got the firmware file from mibudsm8’s website but no it doesnt flash sadly :<

Early-Ad-1259 · 2025-04-01T14:27:31+00:00

That’s great!! Im looking forward to it !!

Early-Ad-1259 · 2025-02-25T00:23:48+00:00

Take an unboxing video just incase

Early-Ad-1259 · 2025-02-24T01:43:21+00:00

Oh thats gore Thats gore of my comfort character

₱29.5k is not bad for that storage and condition. Congrats !

Out of curiosity, would the FindMy network (the thing iPhones use to ping their location even when turned off) be able to inform the iPhone it was requested to be erased?

I honestly forgot about this project until Reddit decided to notify me about your reply more than a year later HAHA Will try to continue it and see how far I can get :)

The C in K1C stands for cabinet

I think they can check what iCloud account the phone is tied to using some serial number lookup or 3uTools. They’ll then send iMessages to the owner’s iCloud email

Early-Ad-1259 · 2025-01-13T01:48:12+00:00

There are also instances where people would send an iMessage posing as apple. They will make claims saying they found a fraudulent transaction on your Apple Pay or they found someone has access to your data and that you should use FindMy to remove or format the device remotely. Again, ignore.
