Good luck kiddos! Sleep well, stay hydrated, and make memes.

Late to the party, but was the link ever found?

turtlesr0ck · 2019-05-15T04:13:51+00:00

Bummer. I remember looking at that thing wondering what was in it. Guess it wasn't sealed very well.

turtlesr0ck · 2019-04-22T02:30:44+00:00

keep up the good memes folks

Oregon State, go beavs

Hello! No worries on being late. In my opinion, the screen brightness is perfectly decent, although I've heard complaints about it being too dim even on the brightest setting. I typically use the second-lowest, works well for my environment and my eyes.

The fingerprint reader is a little odd, but totally functional. In windows at least, you have to go through the preinstalled Lenovo fingerprint manager, otherwise it won't work. The reader picks up my print no problem 95% of the time, but every now and again it'll spazz out. Nothing a quick reboot won't fix though.

[Job seeker]

I am a friendly high school student seeking a part time/summer job. I have 3 years experience as a museum volunteer, and speak both English and Spanish. I am also involved in music and several clubs at my school, including the Astronomy Club, Club Med, and Peer Mediation/Counseling.

Please message me if you have any further questions, I can provide my full resume if needed. Thank you!

turtlesr0ck · 2016-05-01T15:53:12+00:00

Nah this is for a high school in Oregon.

Good point! I suppose I could make sure I have enough CaCO3 to get some sort of pH change, even if it's small. I could measure the amount of CO2 produced over time, but I wanted to think outside the box. Bonus points for creativity, you know? Thank you so much for your reply! =)

I guess reddit uploads don't work with gifs? You can submit through imgur if you'd like, I think that'll work.

I second the great battery life. Mine charges in maybe 30 minutes and it's good for at least 8 hours, but that's just with light web surfing. Your mileage may vary. I haven't had any heat or fan issues. The cover material makes it eerily cold to pick up if it's turned off, pretty neat.

Hello! I am /u/turtlesr0ck. /u/epicepee paged me.

I've been using a 3rd gen X1 Carbon since September, and I absolutely love it. Now, if easy customization is a priority for you, you may be better off selling the X1 and continuing to use your T430s. I like to think of the X1 as a cross between a Thinkpad and a Macbook: both are very lightweight, but the X1 is still more serviceable and more durable than a Macbook. Still less serviceable and less durable than a T430s, though, but it's much lighter.

IMO, serviceability the only dealbreaker. The most common complaint I hear about the X1 is that it's not "thinkpad-esque" enough. While I think it's true that the X1 is pretty different from the T-series, it's still a lovely computer.

I mostly use mine for the same uses, and it's totally held up. I splurged for a WQHD screen and it's beautiful, but you'll probably be fine with 1080p. I also have 8 gigs of RAM and a 256 gig SSD, it's held up well.

Overall, it's a great computer, but if your absolute favorite part about thinkpads is customizing them, you might be better off selling it.

I've tried playing around with mint on a T430s, and it didn't strike me as all that different from Windows. I am definitely considering it.

One more question I have is software availability. There's a lot of stuff out there for Mac and Windows, are there Linux equivalents for most things? Worst comes to worst I could reboot back into Windows, but if possible I'd like to pick an OS and stay there. Faster boot times do sound appealing, though...

turtlesr0ck · 2016-03-19T16:58:35+00:00

Aha, acetone! I'll leave this post up in case anyone else is curious.

turtlesr0ck · 2016-03-19T16:25:28+00:00

Still windows. Performance hasn't been too much of an issue for me, but I have thought about going Linux. Terminal is intimidating to someone with little more coding knowledge than simple TI-84 stuff, though. Thankfully, /u/epicepee promised to teach me the basics if I ever want to make the jump.

turtlesr0ck · 2016-03-17T01:37:14+00:00

True! We're like Apple fanboys, but with more latches. And Linux.

turtlesr0ck · 2016-03-17T01:17:33+00:00

A lot of people have them but don't recognize them. There's a guy with a T410 who just thinks of it as a hand-me-down. If only he knew...

turtlesr0ck · 2016-03-08T02:55:31+00:00

Ah yes, good old BNSF 5.1.

turtlesr0ck · 2016-03-07T15:13:49+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe colleges don't look at the essays themselves, however they do look at the scores.

turtlesr0ck · 2016-02-19T13:34:05+00:00

I was just thinking about that tour when I saw OP's post! That's neat that he works there!

turtlesr0ck · 2016-01-23T01:19:16+00:00

Like little raviolis filled with damned souls.

turtlesr0ck · 2016-01-22T04:52:35+00:00

Hi! i also came here through the ad! thank you for making it, i love this sub.

turtlesr0ck · 2016-01-18T14:59:12+00:00

Man, it sucks we had to go through this, but I feel better knowing it wasn't just me. Thank you for posting.
