I’ve let it go about a dozen times now, still doesn’t take. Tried updating the system from desktop as well but no luck. I’d hate to factory reset it. I’ll sort it out and post back if I do. Thanks!

Anybody else have an issue installing this one where you go through the update process and are asked to reboot, but when you’re back in setting sit tells you the update is ready?

Fuck that guy though.

No, it’s fake. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pray-bow-golden-trump-statue/

The kind of people who would spend $1700 on something like this aren’t the kind of people to track down/install custom firmware.

Does it still have issues with the Office suite? Like Excel just flat out dropping the ribbon and window decorations?

Just came from seeing it, and while you’re absolutely right at least it’s well written and self aware of all that. Could only work with Deadpool.

That escalated quickly.

There are two Democrats inside me.

Maybe I could, but I’m not using it for gaming so battery life, portability, and fan noise don’t have to be sacrificed for a few more FPS when I wanna play something light on the road.

The Tim Taylor approach to hardware was great when I was a kid, less so in my 40s looking to do some moderate coding and radio projects on the road away from my massively overbuilt gaming rig I already own. This lil guy checks all those boxes. I was just wondering what specific hate there was on newer models.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I finally retired my old laptop for a ThinkPad X13 a few weeks ago and it’s been perfect for my use case. Build quality is solid, battery life is alright, it’s small and light, and everything worked out of the box with the preinstalled Ubuntu. After testing it all I slapped EndeavourOS in there and have had zero issues. Specs are solid and I got it for like $1200. Even the AMD integrated graphics are punching way above what I expected.

Just curious about what folks are complaining about with the newer Lenovo models.

Like a weirdo.

RJD2 is the shit honestly.

It’s the only real way to push back that other folks will notice if enough of us do it.

Last time I went through DC a few weeks ago they were using these. I saw a sign saying you’re welcome to opt out. Nobody even questioned what they were doing and were just going along. When it was my turn I politely said I’d rather not do the scan. Dude just glanced at my ID and waved me through. The next few folks behind me blinked and said they didn’t want the scan either. If enough people push back it can at least maybe slow down the normalization of constant surveillance.

Like when Khan moved in.

It really wouldn’t matter, he’d be a martyr for “the cause” and everyone riding his coattails would be foaming at the mouth to replace him as the figurehead with big Trump posters behind em for the rest of time.

I am Bills inflamed spleen.

It IS stealing our jobs!

I just hit 100°F on 405. Good times.

Unfortunately we’re pretty locked down, and it’s not a big enough deal to me to force the issue with our super cool InfoSec team.
