I wonder how much Arch-derivative distros like Manjaro or EndeavourOS will benefit from this, aside from Proton improvements.

Do people still trust ASUS enough to give them over a grand for a mainboard? I know I don't.

It's kinda embarrassing really. At this point he's just throwing stuff at his followers, hoping that something sticks

You can't tell me that's not part of the business model...

as well as a fee of €95 ($105) for 24 months of access

Ah, there it is. The death subscription.

That can be changed in the settings

Oof, that sounds really bad... I haven't had any issues with it so far in the ~3 years I've been using it (I had it on my old T430s for the longest time); don't even know how I first found out about it, I think it got a lot of coverage when it first came out.

I'm not trying to discredit your comment, far from it, neither am I really recommending Manjaro; I know that there are better alternatives but I'm a lazy bum, so I just installed the first distro that came to mind (kinda embarrassing considering how meticulously I planed every other aspect of my switch-over to Linux). Thanks for your comment, though.

Do you have any tips for me as far as staying on Manjaro is concerned?

I switched to using Manjaro full time recently

One of the n-words, it's most likely the one you're thinking of.

I'd love to try this but the link to the guide on how to set it up in Virtualbox is borked :/

It says that the Virtualbox image is currently not working anyway.

Looks more helpful than no manual at all to me. Making the actual replacement parts available for anyone is another thing, though...

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^^)

Their best album IMO

 

When switching into video mode from photo mode or vice versa the main lens' OIS kinda jolts it around which makes a rather loud click.

I'm on Android 14 and the latest Google Camera update.

Probably my favourite album cover, really sets the mood for the music as well

 

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

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.
