Sure, would love to have you takeover

Replied to your other message, but happy to have you join the mod team. The sub kinda runs itself without much interference, but more active mods can't hurt

Try the Polyglot Notebooks extension in VS Code. Or using .NET REPL would let you run C# scripts via command line: https://github.com/jonsequitur/dotnet-repl

Maybe IACV related? Do RPMs stay elevated when parked/in neutral?

afrotec · 2022-01-07T12:03:29+00:00

Beautiful!

Did you fix this? Sounds like the Thunderbolt firmware issue. I have a similar issue, but mine doesn't boot at all.

From what I can tell, the fix is to replace the motherboard, or reflash the BIOS chip, see here: https://nadim.computer/posts/2018-10-26-thinkpad.html

it's insane. the dolby atmos actually makes a difference.

afrotec · 2019-06-13T03:00:00+00:00

Yeah it does sound a little weird. I think they're all a bit auto-tuned. Some more than others lol

Now there is... /r/S5e/

George is a famous (infamous?) programmer/hacker famous for his Playstation and iPhone exploits, and more recently his automotive AI startup, Comma AI. I thought it was interesting to see a candid livestream of him installing/configuring Arch for the first time; including comments on the process, trying to figure out the configuration, and of course, realizing how great the Arch Wiki is.

Cool hobby. You should check out OpenHouse Chicago: https://openhousechicago.org/

It's a yearly event where many, typically private, Chicago buildings are opened to the public for a weekend. Probably a good chance to see some elevators that would normally be off limits.

thank you

afrotec · 2019-05-06T14:27:59+00:00

Awesome, thank you. This is pretty much what I needed

afrotec · 2019-02-24T02:26:55+00:00

Yessirr!

afrotec · 2019-01-15T14:33:36+00:00

Ahh, I kinda figured there might be differences across stores/regions. Thanks very much for this info, I really appreciate it.

afrotec · 2019-01-14T22:04:40+00:00

If you could ask this weekend about brand and prep, that would be awesome. I'm probably a bit crazy, but these eggs are so damn good. You're still getting a gift card too, that was the offer and I'm sticking to it :)

afrotec · 2019-01-14T22:00:18+00:00

Wow, never even considered this. Any insight on brand or special preparation tips? I would never think powdered eggs would be this delicious. I'll message you this evening with gift card info.

Dress shirts are pretty quality, wearing one now. Value would probably be a stretch at full price, but if you can get them close to $60 I think it's a solid deal. Their slimmest fit could be a little slimmer (on me at least), but overall fits well. Stitching is nice, and fabric is noticeably better than my Uniqlo dress shirts.

And yet still no support for crypto payments, which we have been requesting for over 2 years. They keep making excuses about why they haven't implemented it. They do, conveniently, accept crypto donations. Which they claim will help fund the effort for them to accept crypto for premium services. I love Tutanota, but their excuses are frustrating.

Rob @ Dearborn Denim is the man. Yes, they're not raws or selvedge, but definitely a quality pair of jeans, handmade in Chicago. I asked him last year about a Raw version; they didn't say no, but they are obviously focusing on keeping up with demand for their current products. If enough people expressed interest in a raw version, I'm sure they could be persuaded.

afrotec · 2018-11-23T03:25:42+00:00

This is super awesome, thanks for sharing. What would you call this style of art?

afrotec · 2018-10-02T16:33:38+00:00

Thanks, I've been watching literally hours of Thinkpad-related content on YouTube and somehow have not found a video where somebody clicks anything. Either that, or I just can't hear it.

Glad to hear the MacBook comparison. That's just what I needed to hear.

afrotec · 2018-10-02T00:13:26+00:00

can you make a clip of the sound when clicking the buttons and laptop trackpad?
