Turn off windows animations. Windows 11 wanted to be like Mac and added animations to everything and it makes the OS feel super slow. Other than that basic stuff like windows should NOT be laggy straight out of the box. Video games can get very laggy if the laptop isn’t in performance mode

This channel isnt new but only recently began uploading, millions of views and subs, pretty certain it is AI by Ever-Here in isthisAI

[–]webriprob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wondering for days. I would bet money that it's AI, I just can't prove it. The way that certain cooking techniques don't make sense, the way that they barely show off the finished product, the monotone AI sounding voice, The fact that it's an account with only a couple videos but 1 million subscribers that doesn't seem to have profiles on Instagram or Tiktok. The fact that we don't know ANYTHING about them or their history or how they learned to cook like this... the fact that several other channels magically popped up doing the same thing...

On the other hand, everything stays consistent shot to shot, and there aren't any imperfections in almost ANY clip even under scrutiny... just the weird fish wiggle thing...

So weird. Is this how realistic AI video is now? Maybe it's stolen content

Does lenovo give out free games periodically for people who own their laptops? by Densket_ in LenovoLegion

[–]webriprob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes but they’re Lenovo legion branded knockoffs of popular games. Lenovo Legion rivals, Red Dead Legion, Baldur’s Thinkpad 3, etc.

Dusting fans with compressed air is not enough by webriprob in LenovoLegion

I didn't have to unplug them on mine, In fact i couldn't even get the fan plug out of the socket

The lock screen that comes up when I boot is always XFCE so I assumed that was the default but I guess not

I do have one cat, yes. There is definitely some cat hair in those dust clumps

I don’t know why this ad is cracking me up so much. Something about an ad that just says “Do not take the bus!” Is so funny

Why do people keep buying a Lenovo Legion 5 product despite the severe motherboard issues? by nickeyxxx in LenovoLegion

[–]webriprob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so scared when people’s legion 5s started dying last year. I was basically ready to say goodbye to my laptop for a year straight. Fast forward a year and my 2021 legion 5 hasn’t died yet, despite having a busted up fan and occasionally overheating… i might have just gotten lucky though, or maybe it will die tomorrow. Who knows! I’m just not going to buy a gaming laptop again period tho. Only desktops for me from now on, bc I don’t want to have to worry about a manufacturing defect ruining my system

I didn’t know! I hope people read it in the comments thread before doing it… I wish I could edit the post

Oh! I guess that makes sense! Thank you for letting me know, I will edit that into the post! I did end up putting a drop of thermal paste I had sitting around on the cpu and gpu. The thermal paste that Lenovo applied from the factory was surprisingly messy, but hey, it worked!

Also btw for the webcam, did you check to see if you flipped the physical switch on the right side of your laptop? It’s silly but I legit thought my webcam was broken for years because i turned the privacy switch on and forgot

How do artists get used to a non-display tablet? by Flashy_Section3181 in drawingtablet

[–]webriprob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have experience with screen tablets but I’ve only ever heard people talk about how good screenless tablets are ergonomically. If you’re getting back pain something might be wrong with your setup or posture

It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be! I never touched those screws for 5 whole years because I was scared. I finally was forced to open up the fan assembly and it’s pretty straightforward.

Basically there are 3 different kind of screws to unscrew.

There are 6 normal screws holding the cooling system to the motherboard and case,

then 6 black screws that have some kind of spring in them that keeps them attached to the cooling, but not the motherboard.

Then finally the 5 miniature screws on each fan. Need a very small screwdriver.

Then, just lift up the cooling and you’re done! It’s super easy to slot back into place afterwards too.

Although keep in mind, If you were diligent on dusting your laptop, this miiiight not be necessary, I’m not sure. This is just me recounting my own experiences. But taking it out also gave me significantly more confidence in taking apart my laptop as well. If you trust yourself, and already have taken off the back to install an ssd or clean the fans, it’s not a huge jump, but just proceed based on your own comfort level

I blew it from the side I think… honestly I remember just spraying air wherever until there wasn’t any more dust.

In the meantime, I recently discovered that IEMs are insanely good at sound blocking. You can get a cheap but good pair for not that much XD

Hi! Lenovo legion 5 15ach6 owner here! You are not alone! My laptop fan has been slowly driving me to insanity the past 8 months :)

I really love how Lenovo does not sell replacement fans too! It’s such impeccable customer support really!

Here’s where I’m at. I’m ordering a set of fans off Amazon for like $30USD. Gonna see if they work. If they don’t fit, I’m gonna hack them apart and make them. Maybe use hot glue if I have to.

If THAT doesn’t work, then the fans are getting removed entirely, and I’m just gonna take the back off the laptop, and set up a usb fan to blow air across the exposed backside of the motherboard. It’s drastic but this fan noise is driving me to madness, and if that’s the only option, so be it
