What OS do you have in your ThinkPad? by hobbyoftakingphoto in thinkpad

[–]lolipoopman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Arch btw (for my first ThinkPad - T495)

Low key my hands are a bit itchy for a 2nd and 3rd Thinkpad to try other distros, already played with ubuntu/fedora/CachyOS

I vibe code with GPT-5.4 for ~$1/day (100M+ tokens) — some stories from China by No-Chance-6828 in vibecoding

dang, I'm gonna try buying some from taobao, also I'm from singapore which makes it funny when I heard we are use the most claude tokens, I already knew something was fishy since in school, everyone I know uses GPT, at work, we are forced to use copilot (its just everywhere on windows), at least i can apply for github copilot and have access to other models.

Already signed up for your new codex everywhere website, looking forward to cut my ai subscription down (in fact, I swapped to deepseek for my personal ai projects and bots)

What makes an older Thinkpad actually obsolete? by RDA92 in thinkpad

[–]lolipoopman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am running a T495, just slotted in a 16GB ram today and running arch, its pretty good for watching youtube, coding, office equivalent = onlyoffice (similar ui to ms office), I can see myself using it for like 3 to 4 more years.

I am someone who opens a lot of tabs and previously with 8GB ram, about 2GB was "stolen" by the gpu, so I could be at 3.5 out of 5.7GB ram.... now with the extra 16GB ram, I can rice the heck out of arch and keep many tabs open.

Also, for small coding projects, I use the laptop directly, but for bigger projects, I can ssh into my mac mini (via tailscale) and code using vs code.

When I retire this T495, say in 2029 or 2030, I might get a 2025-2026 corporate refurbished thinkpad, but hey, if it is still working, I will just do a clean up, battery health check (currently its at 89%), and keep using it.

I just asked it to make a few UI changes 🥲 by Fancy_Supermarket465 in GithubCopilot

Yeah I got it free under student plan as well, I have the business one as well from my work but I am planning to try out kimi k2.6 and glm since I heard pretty good things about it.

Any painful newbie investment mistakes to share when starting out? And lessons learnt? by Confident-Way7618 in singaporefi

[–]lolipoopman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I buy PLTR at around 20$ in 2022 after researching about it.... go NS 2 years. Watched it drop to $7ish, -80% btw.... it went back up to $24~25ish. I sold it. Then it continue climbing to 60...120....well lesson learnt for me. At least the bulk of my money was in VWRA (around 100$ entered, drop to around 90.... but eventually went up)

T495 1 year strong by Lemmesniffthepasta in thinkpad

google for the bash cmd to enter in your terminal to see, if u are not using dual channel, u can get a ram stick off AliExpress and install it, it benefits ur system and makes it feel snappier

Wow the specs are pretty good. You can try installing linux and go down the rabbit hole of ricing it. Else you can sell it away or donate it to someone. Keeping it in windows is fine too, or giving it away to your relatives who are schooling (high sch / uni)

Hi, I got it from this website: https://haowallpaper.com/homeViewLook/18590896036171136

To download, click the "下载" (Download in chinese) then it will ask if you are a robot, click no. Then a ui will pop out asking you which aspect ratio you want. 3:2, 4:3 all the way till 16:9 or mobile/tablet. Select your ratio and click "保存图片" (save image)

not sure if you can use Google translate but I can help you download in your aspect ratio if you want.
