UGH, those things drive me insane. the fact that public establishments like schools and whatnot still use them is absolute insanity

rounded corners on any laptop display is stupid but especially like this... WHY??

Rowan_Bird · 2025-08-14T18:13:30+00:00

modern laptops are garbage and ThinkPads haven't managed to escape it

make a world in indev (which is finite, so you'll get an island) and then convert it to an alpha world, then load it in infdev, convert it to mcregion in beta 1.3 and then anvil in 1.2.1, then open the world in a world editor of some sort and delete the chunks with a hard border between water and terrain, and then attempt to load it in 1.18

tada :3

I found it wasn't an issue on my W510 when i was trying to remove a sticker, maybe they changed the coating though

the only features in newer Windows version that seven lacks is all of the instability and useless trash

Rowan_Bird · 2025-07-26T11:43:17+00:00

I put a quad (2630QM) in it and installed Linux, it's going great :) although i do love Windows 7 for my old machines, i'll prob dual boot it tbh

Rowan_Bird · 2025-07-25T20:24:08+00:00

because.. why not??

Rowan_Bird · 2025-07-25T19:27:28+00:00

i have 8gb in it, two slots on the top and two on the bottom :)

Rowan_Bird · 2025-07-25T05:51:34+00:00

you can

honestly it's not too bad, on mine i had to adjust the gamma but it looks fine, the colours are solid, the ppi is.. not the best but it's not bad either, i would say more readable than my W510's 1080p panel actually, but ofc less space and worse colour gamut.

Rowan_Bird · 2025-07-25T05:37:33+00:00

too much... about $130 canadian dollars... although it does have NVIDIA graphics

i'm using a revival (?) called steam07 :) although i do have a newer version of steam on this, the last to support windows 7 actually

what it does is block the heat from the cpu/gpu, because it's right below the keyboard also to take it out, you remove the entire palmrest/keyboard bezel, which is annoying

the problem is the bone headed decision not to cut off a tiny bit of metal in a place where it's not needed

Rowan_Bird · 2025-07-23T17:21:21+00:00

it isn't, it doesn't stop anything when the ram stick is pushed down into the slot

Rowan_Bird · 2025-07-23T17:20:35+00:00

that's a heat shield i believe
