A little goblin with cat ears. Choosing names based on possible cat puns.
Mostly rambling about my current interests (generally shortlived) or projects (generally unfinished). Strong interest in infosec & privacy but nothing interesting to say.

Trying to revive one of my old laptops because I got nothing better to do.
Of course it's a Thinkpad, X230 to be precise. I used this one ... for roughly the second half of my university time and, if memory serves, likely the computer I have disassembled/reassembled the most & spent the most time doing stupid linux & software stuff.

Lets see how this goes...

@Rodsterlings_cig User-replaceable batteries no longer being common (both for laptops and smartphones) is such a loss & it makes me quite sad, both because it just means people are not able to do their own part replacements and because you could just bring a spare battery & quickly swap them over. :blobfoxsad:

@spaceraser Surprisingly the chassis is fine on this one even though it has taken quite some abuse... . Just ignore the green tape that is definitely not holding the two screen chassis parts together.
Good luck with the Dell!

    @GossiTheDog Looking at the "fixed" update instructions for non-English systems my guess is they hardcoded the name of Network Service SP instead of using the SID or something, forgetting the name gets localized... :blobfox0_0:

    Hey , is there anyone present with the knowledge and/or the tools to debug the disfunctional power-in usb-c socket on my Thinkpad T480s? That would be super awesome! It's okay if you can't solve it but I am more of a software person and would love a more expert opinion. Please retoot!

    @maralorn may potentially be worth checking at the hardware village, at least re: tools?

    @stfn Normally, no. But this compilation keeps running out of memory, so I keep adding more. I have given up on this now though & doing this on a proper server instead of my laptop.

    Wait, svgs are just xml? :blobfoxhyper:

    @joel No, it actually helps me here. Just needed to flip something, easy enough to do if I can just use a scale(-1,1) transformation on the svg object.

    I should not be trusted with hardware! Didn't break anything this time (cough bent CPU pins) but dropped the motherboard w/ CPU & cooler and now got a nice little cut along the thumb from catching it :blobfox0_0:

    A device stops working for unknown reasons?
    Disassemble it & have a look - now it doesn't work for known reasons (I broke something during disassembly).
