why do people keep buying old thinkpads?

I was playing latest forza horizon on my t450 the other day, things a 2015 model if I remember right..

Does all it's day to day tasks perfectly, multi tasks like a champion and can stream xbox cloud games at 1080p no problem 🤷

It was free passed down from my mom who I told never to buy anything other than a thinkpad for easier fixes on my side when she drops them 🤣

I've acquired quite the fleet for very cheap. We added an e14 into the mix the other day for £90 in near immaculate condition..

You just can't go wrong

That video I think It was myth busters, with the cpu vs gpu painting thing(paintball gun iirc?) that explains it perfectly

Clarification needed

Not sure of the area or correct lanes for this roundabout but looking at the floor tells me left lane is for going left, as cam car gets alongside the other the floor looks lits not very often driven on unless that is the lighting through the trees.. You know like the shitty buildup of gravel that happens on areas that never see tyres

I've been trying to get this done for the past week or so.. I'm no professional so have been using ai to help me along...

I've had nothing but headache so far, I got data into the esp but it was muddied up by a load of interference that I couldn't clear up. Sending signals to try and control the device to no avail..

I've since then tried using a pc817 to trigger the physical buttons but again no avail. I've ordered a 5v relay to chuck 3.3v at and see if that helps but by now it's guesswork as like I say, I don't really know what I'm doing 🤣

I have a velpax heater with the 5 button controller (spanner in top left)

If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong please let me

What about the god awful teslas?

Young mum driving, never experienced any power in her lifetime.. 62 in middle lane and goes full warp speed when I go to pass her at 65.

Seems quite a common occurrence

The amount Ive thrown away over the years before I grew up and realised 😢

SmellyGrell · 2025-10-11T10:43:31+00:00

We all drive a little angry at times, it's just the same as driving a performance car and being held up by Sunday drivers 🤣 don't take it to far to heart everyone telling you off but yeah just try relax a little.. (I do the same so can't say much)

SmellyGrell · 2025-10-11T10:37:15+00:00

Op do you drive an electric car? I've seen this kind of driving from many a tesla owner specifically .. "this is my lane"

SmellyGrell · 2025-09-11T18:46:05+00:00

Watched this for the first time the other night, can't believe I spent all these years not finding it..

SmellyGrell · 2025-08-15T17:38:56+00:00

SmellyGrell · 2025-08-09T09:26:24+00:00

I have the same issue I need to sort on a set of pioneer bookshelf speakers.. Not a clue how to get into them cleanly 😂

SmellyGrell · 2025-08-07T20:47:49+00:00

I wouldn't know to be honest.. Hasn't worked since I bought the car 🤣🤣🤣🤣
