The funniest thing they could do is turn it into a legit news site

I had a CRT as our family's main TV until 2017

Oh, it's obviously fucking stupid.

That's the point, it's petty as shit and would invalidate all of their "45/47" merch, in addition to making her the first woman president, there is no "logical" method to the madness , just shits and giggles

Calendar depends on it. Even in windows 11, mail and calendar accounts in settings don't function right if mail (& calendar) is removed

I still can't do half the stuff in the windows settings app that I could in the control panel, and every update removes an option in control panel without an adequate replacement.

Inb4 "use Linux" I DO but Nvidia and Wayland is still BORKED (even with v555) and when I'm done with work I just want to load up a game and not have to fuck with drivers and never actually play. Sue me.

Even Google products have a longer lifespan 😖

I've since moved on to Tidal. Bought it at $30 when root mods started to be developed, but never really went anywhere.

Can confirm they're real as well as the reaction

These answers don't use OpenAI technology. The yes and no snippets have existed long before their partnership, and have always sucked. If it's GPT, it'll show in a smaller chat window or a summary box that says it contains generated content. The box shown is just a section of a webpage, usually with yes and no taken out of context.

All of the above queries don't yield the same results anymore. I couldn't find an example of the snippet box on a different search, but I definitely saw one like a week ago.

This guy walked into a steel bar one time and has felt the need to clarify ever since

That's Louis Rossman, basically the head of the right to repair movement (nobody's really the head but for most intents and purposes it's this guy)

If you support the right to repair, or even if you don't, it wouldn't hurt to look into his stuff

Trust us we are. It's not like we can afford them anyway

Edit: Conclusion at the bottom

I just sent my ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 2 in for service the other day, it hasn't yet reached the depot but I'm worried after seeing reviews online about Lenovo's customer service. I know people are definitely more likely to write a review if they have a bad experience than a good one.

The repair is just for the TrackPoint, which hasn't been really up to the old ThinkPads I've had (T23, T43, T61, T410, T460) and had recently stopped going to the right entirely. TrackPoints are the only reason I still buy ThinkPads and not something like a framework (and I don't think I can go back to non 2-in-1 laptop after this last one)

I also took the NVMe drive out and swapped it with one that had a fresh install of windows 11 on it so that I could use my data while it was sent in. Will they refuse to work on it if they have a non oem drive inside?

AFTER REPAIR EDIT: Just got it back from the warranty center! Instead of replacing just the TrackPoint module, they replaced the whole top cover & TrackPad (I did mention that it was having similar issues to them). Came with the factory plastic on it. They didn't try to short-change me in any way, didn't try to argue that it was normal or that it was wear and tear or anything like that. It works better they day it was new, and all of the scuffs that I had on the corners are now gone (so is my intel sticker but I can live with that).

In regards to the SSD being out, they didn't say anything or refuse service because of it. I was up front that I had been inside the device before I had sent it in, so YMMV, but all in all 10/10 experience

How long do updates take? (programming.dev)

Started an update for a minor version and it's been like 20 minutes and I have no display out from the nas and I can't access it over the network. This is the first update I've done on the system how long does this usually take and when should I try rebooting it?
