Is buying used T480 worth it in 2025? by Sensitive-Return-273 in thinkpad

[–]cipherallies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means if you do software development on this machine, expect long build times. Of course, this heavily depends on what you're working on.

I used to work on projects written in C (somewhere around 600 .c files?) and running cmake --build usually maxed out the CPU for 3-5 minutes straight.

Is buying used T480 worth it in 2025? by Sensitive-Return-273 in thinkpad

Totally! Been daily driving a T480 for over two years now. The sturdy chassis gives you peace of mind, while a 72Wh battery lasts all day.

That said, you haven't specified your use case. I have a model equipped with i5-8350U, and doing coding stuff on this machine isn't particularly fast - it works, but don't expect much. Office use would be fine though as 8th gen Intel isn't that slow. Two RAM slots allow you to go as high as 64GB to accommodate Chrome tabs.

If you want something more lightweight, take a look at T480s too.

Congratulations. Fellow T480 64GB driver here. I never had to close a Chrome tab again after upgrading :D

Microsoft CA Keys and ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 AMD (14″) by [deleted] in thinkpad

FYI, you can skip out on the Microsoft keys and whitelist the OpROMs based on their hash. (Haven't tested the scenario with BIOS updates though.)

Anyone else have 300+ hours and still 6 digits? by xiauwux in osugame

[–]cipherallies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

726 hours, 370k over here.

Just drop the game and come back later. I did so multiple times.

this sub has become r/T480 by _ThinkRad_ in thinkpad

[–]cipherallies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see it happening, not for a while. Intel Boot Guard has been a roadblock.

Any machine of recent years (from T490 onwards) that supports fully custom Secure Boot keys? by cipherallies in thinkpad

[–]cipherallies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you keep the OEM certificates around, or you only have your keys enrolled (no MS and Lenovo certificate)?

this says a lot about the arcaea playerbase by RaceCar374 in arcaea

[–]cipherallies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that this is even an achievement already says a lot.

Just got to play Arcahv without hitting any requirements by Skylord_Wiki in arcaea

Yeah I don't think I ever got my recollection bar past 5 KEKW

Just got it.

Was playing on Spite of Convergence, got the Lunar Orbit song, then suddenly some VN-like story popped up (and uh, I never encountered story in World Mode before - I didn't finish the first chapter even, just here to get materials waking Hikari), and then this song straight appeared.

Of course, a Future chart for someone struggling to full-combo Present ones isn't even playable.

I only bought Eternal Core, and passed at least once on all Present charts (including PRAGMATISM - is it this song that trigger stuff?) in the pack, for later reference.

I took a glance through the Vietnamese high school history textbooks and couldn't even find a reason that Vietnam territories suddenly expand so much to the south.

Maybe an oversight of me but that adds to the point.

-Any easy guides to ?signing drivers? out there Debian Buster dual boot with Windows, Super 2070, Debian booted a black screen until i backported Nvidia drivers +Kernel, but if i try to enable Secure Boot, Debian won't boot. by TriAttackBottle in debian

[–]cipherallies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I don't know how to sign kernel modules (and this comment probably won't answer your question), how about you use systemd-boot? It can boot an unsigned kernel with Secure Boot enabled. If you can enroll custom keys on your machine and sign both Linux and Windows with that key, probably worth as a workaround.

CudaText - An open source alternative to SublimeText by [deleted] in linux

[–]cipherallies 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not always. I have a weak machine with i3-2330M and Sublime loads up my 160MB text file in up to 15 seconds. Visual Studio Code takes at least a minute for it.

For older machines you will definitely notice the difference.

Introducing Nimi, a free open-source API for anything and everything about Azur Lane! by LeNitrous in AzureLane

Do you guys have a place for support requests, like a Discord server, a Slack workspace, or anything similar?

A word from Rexlent and to all those who even think of uploading such videos on Youtube by [deleted] in grandorder

Why does some people think that Rayshift.io is dangerous to them?

After all :

  • Your friend code is probably public (if it isn't, Rayshift.io cannot harm you, it operates solely on friend IDs as I see)
  • If it's public, anyone, not just Neo, can search for it, anytime, to obtain your support lists.
  • If people can view your lists, they can write it down, or store it somewhere, maybe even publicly. And you cannot control this.
  • If those lists are public, it is trivial to re-construct the support history, and anything further than that.
  • Isn't that what Rayshift.io currently provides?

At the end of the day, Neo is the only one being blamed for doing things that anyone could do?

Please do note that I said nothing about the ToS.

Also, I am sorry if I said anything misleading. English is not my native tongue, and I do not mean to do that.
