Most Thinkpads have customer removable units: drives and keyboards. Generally, the batteries are not glued in. There are no security screws. Mine is a P15 Gen 2. Lenovo's repair videos: https://support.lenovo.com/us/...

Okay, I'm a bit slow on the draw.

AI has brought nothing good to the world.

I cannot believe that Microsoft is baffled why people HATE Windows 11, so much--or maybe it's just that people are HATING Microsoft.

Check it for yourself. Have 64GB of memory? Still Windows uses VM, and you pay for the SSD--all to make it seem less bloated.

We have already witness too much AI pollution and fact distortion in every type of humanity's information.

Let's see...Microware OS9 did real-time multitasked with 64k, and RT68 did it with a few thousand bytes on the MC6800. Ref: https://github.com/linuxha/RT6... and https://github.com/nitros9proj...

It reads like, "I think my office chair is sentient."

How much did Microsoft pay for a bit of product placement--that bit them in the...

I run Mint on all of my systems, 2 duel-boot Windows 11 from separate drives. I have some games; I should be more adventurous. I use Wine for Irfanview and 7Zip, and I am...getting used to it. Proton is supposed to be a good thing; I hope all the fixes are open.

I generally shut off shader cache's. I have a Samsung 840, that has been used for video editing. Oddly, it still works. Although shader caches are a pittance compared to video editing, every little bit wears SSD's out. BTW, the 4TB Samsung 990 Series NVMe I was looking at six months ago, went up from $385 to $621. In the end--even excessive logging wears SSD's, as a whole block is written for even a one byte update.

There is no reason why billionaires should have a separate lawset.

...although the drug by itself is useless; it needs people, too.

From the getgo, most of he sites you visit, you will be checked for AI--because AI has scraped everything from the internet, copyrights or not. Add to that problem. we are already seeing raising unemployment, oil-eating/planet-warming data centers, billionaires becoming even richer so they can meddle with you government--and for what?
