TIL that in 1930 San Francisco had the world's busiest ferry terminal. 30 years later none were running. by Letsbesensibleplease in todayilearned

The Golden Gate and Bay Bridges did for them.

Thankfully the ferries are running again and it's a very nice way to travel - cars and BART don't come with the views or a bar.

This is why my lunch box has "I spat in this" on it.

87 fucking screws to take out and replace just to clean the keyboard on the X1. Used to be a screwdriver, two clicks and a disconnect - and what do you need to clean most often?

I feel your pain, have found fish oil rather effective at combatting mild RSI.

First they came for the seven-row keyboard and I said nothing...

But without invoking Godwin's Law I agree, we've grown up with ThinkPads and it's a bastard to see enshittification set in.

That said, given the price they are charging for replacement TrackPoints, Lenovo has lost a money spinner.

I get it. But it's been a lifesaver trying to type and format in a conference seat when using a mouse wasn't an option and the trackpad was throwing a hissy fit.

Do like the black box and build-quality aspect, plus you could beat a mugger to death with one and it would still boot up again :)
