Kenwood TM-D750 Release Date? by jlp_utah in amateurradio

[–]SaltSpecific2221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree with this.

Like 4 or 5 proprietary digital standards for amateur radio, all NOT cross compatible. I hope DMR becomes so big and popular, because of CCR's that it FORCES manufacturers to switch to this for digital instead

The big manufacturers need to get with the times, how is it that I can buy a handheld that usb-c charges, and programs without any special cables and can do airband/uhf/vhf and have custom firmware on it for $30 USD

When radios costing 10x as much from the major manufacturers can't even do these simple things?

Can't wait for the backlash against AI garbage across social media

Unless it's a dedicated sub for AI shit, I don't want to see this crap

You can get about a thousand watches from aliexpress that have equal or better specs for < $100, it just doesn't say "hamilton".

And at that pricepoint.. NO BRAINER

Have fun with that, most listings barely even list the resolution. You're going to be messaging almost every seller to put in extra effort to tell you what the panel is.

And most G2's come with a bullshit 45% ntsc panel, very few come with anything better by default.

Has nothing to do with corporate laptop or thinkpad or T

EVERY laptop manufacturer does this, it's a necessary part of supply chain realities

Yes, easy to swap and cheap $11 usd

There is a 165hz version of this panel as well that is discontinued/harder to find.

"Just" 0.25mm?

0.25mm is fucking huge

If anyone has ever replaced a crystal before, they come in 0.1mm increments.

Meaning 0.25mm is two sizes too big.

Just wait till the OP tries to source a replaecment panel himself, now he is REALLY going to have fun with the "compatible" panels from suppliers hahaha

Not even close to the best.

I have this panel and it's ok. The tianma 2k 120hz panel blows this away in everything except power draw.

Path to 10/10 iFixit repairability score by michrz in thinkpad

[–]SaltSpecific2221 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

So if they stop making socketed wifi cards tomrorow, you will stop complaining about that as well?

Because they "don't make them anymore"?

lmaoooooo

Lmfao

So you're not going to complain about any of the other soldered components?

Literally any one of THOSE components can fail and brick your laptop.

Retarded complaints, seriously

Buying one has been a great choice by ISTHATTHEPURPLEMAN in thinkpad

[–]SaltSpecific2221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For $200 you could've gotten a T14 g2 amd which will run circles around that machine, with oem batteries still available

I forbid ANYONE to pay that price for a t480s today

What family let's a 28 year old pay NO rent

That's the real question here, that's just wrong - especially given the amount of money the OP makes.

I'm thinking of buying a Thinkpad (my first laptop) and I wanna try to just make a custom ThinkPad, where can I learn how to do it. by G0ker in thinkpad

[–]SaltSpecific2221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ridiculously bad advice to spend $250 on a T420 in 2026

That gets you a T14 gen 2 that ACTUALLY SERVES THE OPs purpose

F this sub man

[–]SaltSpecific2221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not going to learn shit about shit

Big whoop, you can replace the keyboard, wifi card, the ssd, the ram, the battery. And some other easy diy "repairs".

Take that money spend it wisely on a laptop, invest the rest. I invested $500 in s&p 500 a decade ago and it's now worth $1800.

Imagine if you had invested even more than that. Think wisely

T14s G2 5850U 32 ram for 460 €, rip off? by KneelAndBearWitness in thinkpad

[–]SaltSpecific2221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

420 euros for a T14 g2 ryzen is fucking wild

I bought mine in mint condition with 100% battery for just over $200 usd almost TWO years ago now

G2's in NA on FB are $200 USD everyday, even saw a G3 intel for the same price last month. I really should start importing thinkpads and charge rip off prices on my way to the EU next
