He only created it to block Congress from passing something more effective.

He certainly didn't do it out of concern for the environment.

And by 'detain', they mean arrest. And by 'jokes', they mean get your coat.

Good thing then that it's HOH

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Nah, that's just a red herring, and completely discredited. The real problem is hydrogen hydroxide. Everywhere that you see dihydrogen monoxide, there's also hydrogen hydroxide. That's the real danger.

(/S for people that don't know the different chemical names)

Thinkpads are extremely well documented. For how to repair/replace parts, you need the HMM. Just Google for "Thinkpad t14 Gen 1 HMM" and you should find the official PDF on their site. That will tell you, step by step, how to replace the keyboard.

As for the part itself, you can again check Lenovo's site for all compatible parts (FRUs) and find the item number and details. While I wouldn't recommend buying directly from them due to cost, this should give you the information needed to find it elsewhere. eBay has tons of Thinkpads being sold for parts, and many of these will be parted out. You should have no issues finding what you're looking for.

You are helping - they clearly need the additional training, and you're doing everything you can to supply that. Their job can't be relying on you.

They shouldn't (and almost certainly don't) have delegation authority.

For corporate bingo, the keywords are upskill, cross-training, and bus factor.

Don't show. Guide them to do it themselves. Never be the one to actually do it beyond the first time.

If they still refuse to learn, make them take notes. Make them read to you their notes from last time. Make them tell you what each step is and means.

Make asking you the hardest option for them to get what they want.

This seems perfectly reasonable. I'm sure the people wearing DARE shirts will take this seriously and help out.

They all have to work (at least to an extent) using only x1. It's part of the PCIe spec.

Missing pins are actually extremely common. If your board has a slot that's x16 (electrically x8), which is very common for a second video card, take a closer look. Half the pins in the slot aren't connected. It has the full slot to make you feel better about it, and it provides some mounting stability, but it's electrically the same as an x8 that's open.

Why would he care about the lawsuits? It won't ever come out of his pocket. It just becomes someone else's problem.

For anyone as confused as me, the "nails" are fingernails, not the construction part.

This can get a bit complicated with federation. This community is hosted on LW. I am accessing it via sopuli.xyz, and you via feddit.uk. All (presumably) have full bidirectional federation with each other.

When I hit send, this message will go to Sopuli's outbox, which will then sync to LW for this community. At that point, this post will live on LW's servers. Anyone accessing LW directly can see it, even if Sopuli were to go down. Later (probably less than a minute), LW will sync to Feddit.uk, at which point you will be able to see it.

Note that this is for text posts only. There have been some changes around images and video, both for bandwidth and liability reasons.
