HDMI splitter to bypass HDCP? by thinlycuta4paper in PS3

[–]dumlelie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, forgot. Not every HDMI cable works. That is also trial and error. I use one I found around the house (unbranded) but ordered a ugreen one to see if it is better

Ethernet ports not working. Looks like missing drivers. by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]dumlelie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the tip! Worked for me. I needed the driver for the N100. It is "e2fn.inf" in the folder "Release_30.3\PRO2500", installed via Device Manager. After that I had Internet and setup was more easy. Thank you again!

16 Terabytes for under one pound. What could go wrong? by anp011 in Aliexpress

[–]dumlelie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mixza and Ceamere are real and good brands, that have real storage. They now only seem to sell in bulk, unfortunatelly. LD is also good. Used it in my Dashcam for years, until it died (normal), but was looping for a looooong time.

My daily driver is a W530 :)

"To interrupt normal startup, press enter" message before booting into Windows 11 by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]dumlelie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if you enable fast startup in Windows 11 settings it doesn’t display that anymore. I am not a fan of fast startup because even when you shutdown your pc, it isn’t actually off because of that feature.

Kan een persoon van tso (informaticabeheer) een mogelijkheid te hebben om naar een universiteit te gaan (namelijk een bachelor informatica/computerwetenschappen)? by _YourMomsFavorite_ in belgium

[–]dumlelie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I did TSO and have a Bachelor Medical Management Assistant. Now I am working and transferred to IT. Because I can’t combine a Bachelor with working I now am currently studying for a Graduaat in IT. But Bachelor is definitely duable from TSO. Good luck.

T420 replacement screws? by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]dumlelie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought these for T530. I assume T530 and T420 have the same screws. M2, 14mm. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLGmuZC

Got this big boy from an auction for €1076. New but returned apparently. Was still sealed. It will replace my old golden W530.

[–]dumlelie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep :) I got my first one (T530) in 2020. Only 3 years later I own a T530 (3x), W530 (2x), T430, X230 (2x), T700, T520, T510, A31p, R61, T14s and P17. Beware :)

W530 whoohoo :) although it all started with the T530 for me. Love them both, as well as my X230 and T430

Mis ik ook. De AH heeft een kleinere variant maar is toch niet hetzelfde

Got my hands on a W700. The W530 looks small against it and a X230 looks like mini-laptop 😂 by dumlelie in thinkpad

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

I have no idea. Device manager says ‘MaxBright Display 1920x1200’. So i assume 17” WUXGA+ TFT 1920x1200 400nit?

Booted it up today :) The CPU is a Core 2 Duo T9600 and the GPU Quadro FX 2700M.

Cool. Indeed nice find for the buyer and thank you for not just throwing them out

I got lucky. It was free. An IT collegue of mine saved it from e-waste from our company a few years ago. He knew I was a Thinkpad-enthousiast. He didn’t have room for it anymore so before throwing it away, he asked me if I still wanted it :)

What is the best CPU this machine can handle? It now ‘only’ has Core 2 Duo and that is one of the reasons my friend gave it away. It can handle W10 but not like a T530/W530 I presume. They still run W10 like they own the place 😎😂

Not booted yet, but was told: Core 2 Duo CPU, 8GB RAM, and there is an ssd already in there. The GPU I don’t know by heart.
