    Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead
  • Oh I see, so it only affects modded apks.... They probably want to crack down on all those slightly-shady "spotify premium free"-apks.

    What is your favourite animal?
  • There are many animals that are pretty cool; beavers, iguanas, capybaras, kanaroos, crows etc. I find it really hard to pick a favourite.

    I'd really like to have a pet iguana one day, though.

    The iPhone 16, new AirPods and other highlights from Apple's product showcase
  • I personally prefer the Pixel 9's pink; it's a bit more vibrant, at least on the pictures.

    Still no cool colours for the Pro models, though (apart from the Pixel 9 Pro's light pink)

  • It's nice that Apple for once introduced a nice feature for others to copy, the camera button. I loved those on my Lumia and Xperia phones.

    Everything else is just meh... the normal 16 comes in some cool colours at least

    'Closer than people think': Woolly mammoth 'de-extinction' is nearing reality — and we have no idea what happens next
  • We'd first have to undo all the damage we did to the rest of the Earth which, even if we wanted, we couldn't do.

    As far as I understand, the whole "de-extinction" thing is just a huge flex on our part.

    Microsoft's 'Recall' feature can't be uninstalled after all

    Dude, take a look at this Miata.

  • Me neither; there wasn't any offense intended with my post, sorry if you took it as such.

    I just like Miatas and I think that people who also like Miatas (should) treat them better than that.

  • Some time ago, I pulled this sticker off our old fridge before we got rid of it and put it onto my PC's side panel (don't ask me why, I guess I thought it looked cool). I don't exactly know where it came from or who put it there, although I suspect it was put there by a Australian relative that was visiting us a long time ago (the Murrumbidgee is a river in NSW, Australia).

    Does anyone know the artist or name of this if it even has one? There's no obvious signature that I can see.

    Feel free to remove if this isn't allowed.

    I just wanna get to know people and maybe make a few friends. I've tried a bunch of servers over the years, both general and specific ones but it never really worked out I guess? (I'm a pretty awkward person to talk to, maybe that's why^^)

    Saw a post like this on Reddit once and I thought some of the responses were quite interesting.

    I collect all sorts of stuff from vinyl records and vintage game consoles to Harley-Davidson dealer t-shirts.

    I'm curious about what some of you guys collect, the weirder the better :D

    Blu-Ray Drive in a T540P?

    I know they never were an option since the T400/T500 days and I've seen people flat out say that even if they fit, they won't work with the T440P/T540P.

    There are a bunch of different stores online selling the Hitachi LG BU20N as "for Lenovo T440P/T540P" and some also claim that the Matsushita UJ262 would work.

    Has anyone got a Blu-ray drive in their T440P/T540P or knows if it would work?

    Edit: Saw someone claim they got a Hitachi LG BU40N working in a T440P and since that's basically the same as the BU20N, with added UHD Blu-Ray support, that means the BU20N should work fine?

    Next time I see them being sold at a reasonable price I'll grab one and just try it out for myself.

    Edit 2: For anyone coming across this post in the future; I now have a HLDS BU20N (HP OEM) installed in my T540p and it plays back blu-ray discs without issue.

    Edit: Looks like you can opt-out of that "new look and feel" pretty easily under the appearance settings but still, whats with putting rounded corners everywhere?

    Edit 2: "Explore the web with a softer, more friendly aesthetic featuring rounded corners [..] Designed to complement your operating system, whether on Windows 11, MacOS, or Linux." The fuck does that mean? Windows 11 fair enough but most Linux distros don't look like that at all.

    T41 sticky lid

    A friend of mine gave a an old ThinkPad T41 and it's in great condition for one of these without any cracks in the chassis. There are a few marks on the display but it doesn't look like it's cracked (I don't have the right power supply to test it out).

    The biggest problem with it so far is that the rubberised finish on the lid has turned sticky. I tried to wipe it down with diluted isopropyl alcohol and while it looks pretty clean now it's still very sticky.

    Is there a way to fix the stickiness without full-on scraping the coating off?

    Got a T540p for free and upgraded it, just for the hell of it

    Got this T540p for free from work, it came with a dual-core i5-4200M, 8GB of RAM, the awful 1080p TN panel and the GT730M dGPU.

    Upgrades: New TrackPad (T450 Synaptics), i7-4700QM, 16 GB DDR3L RAM, AUO B156HAN01.2, and a good clean (yep, that's an upgrade in my books).

    The i7 runs quite well in there, I had some doubts about the thermal situation since it's a 47-watt chip in a dGPU model but so far it holds up pretty well with a -70mw undervolt and Arctic MX-4 thermal paste. Idle it gets up to around 45°C, under load I've never seen it get hotter than 75°C. In addition to Throttlestop, I'm using TPFC on the "smart" setting to keep the noisy Toshiba fan from ramping up and down every .2 seconds.

    The GT730M isn't good for much these days but it runs older games quite well. All in all, I ended up really liking this ThinkPad. It's very annoying to take apart, though.
