I’m thinking of picking up a used ThinkPad on eBay for cheap to serve as my daily driver. I’ll likely run LMDE, and primarily use it for web browsing, office programs, coding, and FreeCAD. Any recommendations on which model would best hit the sweet spot of capability vs price?
Could be. I do have some significant Thinkpad experience (going back to the IBM days) and I do know that they will not alter the model number regardless of what’s in the machine, but you can pull a build sheet from their website with the serial number. Do you know if your HPs could have had this happen? Was your distributor HP or elsewhere? (Not hating, just curious!)
Capacity loss over time is a decent idea. The 2nd Gen machine has an 11th Gen chip, vs 10th Gen in the Gen 1, and quiet possibly is able to burn more power quicker as well. Thinkpad power consumption is also definable in the BIOS or Vantage software for many of them, so those settings all could vary.
Normally I’d be happy to help troubleshoot this sort of thing but frankly I’m not sure OP was looking to chat.
It explicitly said you do not need a PSN account to play, in a number of places. Both on the game page, on the Sony FAQ page, and the Steam page too I believe.
It was bait and switch, which is why so many people are upset.
Not necessarily. But the way around it means way more dev time. I know Vivaldi and Brave have stated that they will make sure to defeat it. I assume the DuckDuckGo browser would as well but I’m not sure.
Don’t be like that, my comment was not a partisan one and I did not attack you. I would appreciate the same courtesy.
No one is perfect. I think this administration is doing decent. I’m independent, so I rarely fully agree with a party.
That said, my comment is more about the same criticism that I have of most of Washington… They’re way too old. There is no 80yo that’s still firing on all cylinders.
I have found that the news has done a decent job covering positives and negatives. Or at least I’m hearing about both.
I want him and others like him to stop trying to be president at 80.
I would also like him to speak in full sentences and stay awake at important outings.

I, am trying to understand if I have habits. My definition of a habit is: “Something that you do often and regularly, sometimes without knowing that you are doing it” from the Harvard Dictionary...
Ok well if you are neurodivergent, a couple things:
Autism self diagnosis is valid if you do your research. University of WA recently did a study that figured that out.
ADHD typically needs a diagnosis from a professional to be sure, but it’s not super hard to guess if you have it. Some symptoms of ADHD can be caused by other conditions (anxiety especially) so navigate that one with caution.
If you are neurodivergent, typically the answer is routines rather than habits. I find them much easier to implement. Just decide the task you want to make into a routine, decide the steps you want to do it in, and then decide to always do it that way, or at least until you want to optimize or tweak it. A simple routine I do is “keys, wallet, phone, ear buds” while tapping my pockets on the way out of the door.
In another comment you said you are egoist. Fair, but a lot of people with self worth issues cope by essentially talking themselves up (or tearing others down) internally. Can you elaborate on how you feel like you’re “a disgusting egoist”?
What is the best model of used ThinkPad to purchase?

Using gaming controllers for anything other than gaming ?
Wondering if anyone has experimented with using controllers (PS/xbox/other) to do anything other than gaming ?
I don't enjoy it when people compliment me. Why could it be?
Not to brag but I’m a pretty confident person in my social circle. I’m funny, make people laugh etc. etc....
