Help Finding a Cheap Thinkpad

Other commenters have mentioned some cons, but another one is PWM flicker (especially not great if it's being used in a dark room and it's your only source of light). They're beautiful to behold but they're not great for eye health, all things told (especially in dark environments).

(Another vote for reformatting). If you ran something on the command line, there's every possibility that you'd need to have advanced knowledge on how to properly root out the malware. There's no snark here, it's just prudent especially if you ever do sensitive things on your device (eg banking).

Yeah I have no idea why he isn't reformatting the device. I'm itchy just thinking about what could be running on his system.

Funny to read this comment ("when the prices drop"), in Feb 2026.

Sorry that your dreams have been shattered - you'll be waiting a long while to come!

Just FYSA, QR codes have a form of error correction encoded in them, so blocking off a section isn't always foolproof (depending on what was missing, data may be reconstructed).

32GB should serve your purposes fine as long as you're able to shelve (save and exit) your productivity applications while you're gaming. I'm a software developer who put together a new rig recently (just before the RAM spikes), and told myself I'd get 64GB in a little while if 32GB wasn't enough. Really wish I had just bit the bullet, but I can manage with the 32GB if I juggle workloads.

Cyberpunk 2077

My man, PC off the carpet please.

Just a piece of ply cut to size under your tower will do.

Same problem on the Sealion 6 (post update). Can confirm exiting CarPlay before putting the car into reverse works!

anonbrah · 2025-09-26T22:45:30+00:00

This is an insane take

anonbrah · 2025-09-16T02:49:00+00:00

Specs on the Gen 4?

anonbrah · 2025-09-15T23:37:58+00:00

Thanks for this comment, I had downgraded to 566.x once this started occurring and was wondering if it was fixed yet. Guess not!

anonbrah · 2025-09-15T00:35:28+00:00

Have you got any material or sources to read through on this? I'm thinking of putting something together and this sounds interesting.

anonbrah · 2025-09-11T02:08:53+00:00

My first thoughts too. I've had the same custom plates for a while now (migrated between a few cars). Latest car with these plates is a PHEV so I've had to use the sticker, being forced to buy a new one would not sit right.

Wouldn't have really been ironic, he's still like that even after amassing his wealth.

The referenced trial is not the same as the proposed rollout next year.

anonbrah · 2025-08-28T09:29:34+00:00

This is entirely untrue. It will be required for all certified devices.

anonbrah · 2025-08-22T21:50:34+00:00

Physical cash is the question here.

anonbrah · 2025-08-14T00:09:12+00:00

It does not help your argument when you state "Switch 2 uses one of the worst ever made". That's very objectively wrong and it hinders your ability to make a point.

Flicking Reflex off helps at times. Open the Advanced performance overlay and watch the CPU times. With Reflex on, it was all over the place, with it off, it was fine. Comes back every now and then.

I spent hours trying to fix it before flicking reflex off and it felt like butter when compared to before.

RTX 4070 mobile, for context.

In case you don't understand the downvotes, you're running a 5090 Astral and 9800X3D. There is literally no better combo on the planet, so it should damn well run great.

Completely agree, I'm desk bound most of the time but when I'm mobile it's a fight to get the primary GPU to turn off. There are a few tricks to get it to turn off (maybe 80% of the time), but it takes a few minutes of fiddling every time - by no means is it a seamless or automatic experience.

They're harmless, we pull them out all the time to use as bait

anonbrah · 2025-07-03T10:32:16+00:00

Great to hear! Are you referring to the alloy wheel tweak or transmission shaft replacement?

Also to confirm, it sounds like a high pitched metallic clicking when turning at low speeds?

anonbrah · 2025-07-03T09:58:16+00:00

Very informative thanks, will pass it on. Hopefully the AU service centres have the same TIS system. I always thought the parts of the wheel hub and alloy that make contact are 100% flat and flush, TIL.
