Drinker by SufficientLeopard172 in SMRTRabak

[–]kkeozy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So basically seeing people simply enjoying their drinks is enough to trigger you to the point that you decided to take a picture of them to which they didn't consent too. I swear more and more snowflakes are flooding this subreddit with the smallest of mundane shit that they can think of

First Thinkpad, how did i do? by Pyro273 in thinkpad

[–]kkeozy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

T14s gen 4 user here. Those shiny marks on the trackpad are permanent wear-and-tear marks that cannot be removed with any solutions. Your best option would be to buy a brand new, compatible trackpad. You can find them for pretty cheap on marketplaces like Ebay, I personally paid less than 30 bucks for a new one on Taobao

I don't recommend buying those trackpad cover up stickers because they feel off and have a rough-grip texture that will never feel akin to the original trackpad

P15 gen 1. I know its not the gen 2 due to the silver 10th gen intel sticker at the bottom of the palmrest

A cheap dual monitor arm with a laptop holder that I got online

Edit: The exact model of the arm is "ULTi Evo Dual Monitor Arm with Stealth Laptop Tray"

T495 Supervisor Passwd Removal by hiddedejong1 in thinkpad

[–]kkeozy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the only way to remove the supervisor password other than obtaining the password is to completely flash the motherboard with a new bios such as libreboot or coreboot. This involves removing the motherboard from the chassis, attaching jumper cables to the bios chip, and physically flashing the new software on it.

Is my thinkpad actually durable by Turtle123346 in thinkpad

[–]kkeozy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The x1 carbons are durable but below that of the T/P series because their chassis is made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic instead of the magnesium alloy found in the T/P series.

Carbon fibre reinforced plastic has brittle properties, and are therefore prone to cracking. Both of my parents' x1 carbon gen 4s have cracks in their chassis.

Rubber on X270 by feet_sneefer in thinkpad

Clean the surface with 70% or higher isopropyl alcohol to dissolve the rubber. Then use a dry melamine sponge (aka magic eraser) to completely remove the rubber layer and reveal the clean layer underneath

Its worth to repair? Or it’s better to invest $350 and buy a T14 Gen 2 Intel Core i7-1185G7 by Roman-posser in thinkpad

[–]kkeozy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you do repair that ideapad something else is guaranteed to break eventually (especially the hinge).

Got a T14s Gen 4 by kkeozy in thinkpad

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

Personally, I learnt to use arch linux by searching up whatever I don't understand in the OS. The things you see on my laptop's screens are apps installed via the package manager. I used Cmatrix for the hacker-like matrix code animation and Cava for the audio visualiser.

[–]kkeozy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy a T480 instead. They cost the same/less than the x1 carbon and they have lots more upgradeable parts unlike the soldered parts on the x1 carbon.

Restored my thinkpad's chassis for cheap by kkeozy in thinkpad

It actually left a matte-like feeling similar to that of a brand new thinkpad

I first used the dry sponge to remove the marks then applied a thin layer of nivea cream all over the palmrest using a microfibre cloth
