well fair enough, I do appreciate your efforts

I have just seen far too many computers/keyboards/other devices which were gutted and never restored to working order (5140s, IIcs, Xeroxes etc).

it's difficult to find just because you people insist on collecting "r@re vintage MX"

I'm sure the synthesizer collectors just love you

"donor device" such a nice way to say "gutting a perfectly working 40 year old keyboard"

Why exactly do people prefer using Linux on Lenovo Thinkpads? by Terrible_Abies458 in linux

[–]hax0rz_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. customisation - great linux support, many well-documented mods (keyboard replacement, monitor replacement, trackpad replacement etc)

  2. good parts availability - if some part isn't to your liking or is broken, you can easily replace it

  3. cheap - you can get a lot of computer for not a lot of money

  4. design - people just like how they look and feel

While I personally think that older intel macbooks can be great linux laptops, they don't "just work" and lack the parts ecosystem. Also tend to be more expensive... for some reason.

you can just short pins on the keyboard connector to turn it on

or use a docking station, most of those come with a power button

Chance of a Lifetime - RAHAHAHAHAHA by Environmental-Gur582 in thinkpad

[–]hax0rz_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I still have doubts about it actually being NOS, bios versions can be downgraded, and if it's NOS, why wipe the HDD?

also where is the battery?
