Conversely, I replaced the battery in a T740 last week for a client .

8 screws total, including keyboard, and battery (2, and not glued).

I wouldn’t give this one a 10/10, but 7-8/10, probably.

Nice to work with, captive screws all around the shell, so no lost screws, no bullshit “screws under rubber feet” like HP loves to do…

Only gripe is that the usb c is not on a daughterboard. Or power and ports for that matter.

I have a lower end, but capable gaming laptop. R7, 1Tb Nvme, 32Gb, RTX… It is easy to open, service, expandable, with space for a SATA 2.5, for example. Spill proof, lighted kbd, etc.

It’s kind of built like an old school ThinkPad. A tank.

And that’s why I’m getting rid of it.

The thing IS a tank.

I really use it as a laptop, I do onsite stuff, so I lug this thing around all day. Many use these as “transportable”. I don’t, I have a beefy workstation at home, so the laptop generally lives in its backpack.

So, for me, a professional grade, light but sturdy, and repairable machine is just what the doctor ordered.

If you need rugged, some gamer laptops are pretty tough and accessible, but you will pay the chunk tax.

If you REALLY want rugged, get a proper ruggedized laptop, and carry it around.

I’m all for the move, and I’m definitely a progressive, but I think it’d be good for people to understand that Sanchez is no Idealist. The man is a party rat, and all his moves are calculated to keep himself in power.

As I said, I agree with the move, but the motivation is not what people think it is.

I guess it’s the broken clock thing.

OK, some chorizo, but no ibérico

Plus the problem of having my data hosted, not just In another country, but In a different celestial body!

Nowhere did I claim anything democratic (even though I could). I claim that when a head of government really fucks up, Europeans sometimes rise up to the challenge. Brave Americans seem to have lost that capacity since the 1700’s. Also, that which you call servility, can be interpreted as “let the chest pounding gorilla pay for most of the expenses of our protection”. Trump wasn’t all that wrong about having European countries pay a bigger share, although for the US it was cost efficient to foot a larger part of the bill, to keep the first line of defense an ocean away.

But yeah, remove Turd. Then you will have earned the right to talk about others.

If you are american, and haven’t risen up in arms to topple the tyrant (despite that being one of the excuses for the 2nd) you have not earned the right to call Europe/Europeans anything. Let me remind you that in Europe, every so often, a president/premier is toppled by the people, through massive, constant movilization, general strikes, etc. Get your house in order. and then comment on others, if you wish.

I have been a Scout in 3 countries, 2 European and the US. This was in the 70s-80s. European and US were quite different, both gender segregated, but still followed basically the same values. Inclusivity was mild but present.

My kids are now staff at a group in Europe. The group is coed, and firmly inclusive. The government has no say, except in training of staff, which is mainly safety, and other practical matters when dealing with kids.

The idea of the government intruding into values (except for exclusive behavior) is so foreign that they would be hit with lawsuits immediately.

I’m running an AM4 Ryzen 9, with 64Gb of DDR4, and the thing cooks. AM4 is just great.

Yeah, Ive been working on engines (mostly my own, for fun) for decades, and I never knew about brake fluid and glass.

Move to Spain and settle in Germany or Finland?

Are you some sort of sadist?

Can it run Doom?

It is not. It says what I want to do, and where.

A car wash is a place where a car is washed by a machine, other people or yourself

I didn’t know that, and I have used liters of the stuff. Learn something every day.

Is it just Dot3? Dot4 is more common these days.

BTW, kids, we are talking about brake fluid, so don’t go spraying it on your camera lenses!

It’s Spain. She has all possible means at her disposal to treat her issues. You must be American to write this.

Fun fact. Air carbines, with a scope, can be very precise at short-dish range. Essentially a low powered .22, and fairly silent.

You should be careful to make sure you don’t hit glass, as it may shatter.

I wonder why in most jurisdictions there is no licensing needed?

Why shouldn’t dot3 mixed with paint? Just so I know why to avoid it.

Sugar cane house wants to have a word.

It’s well known that Taiwan has all strategic factories mined. If a single Chinese soldier steps on the island, anything industrial of value will be blown to bits. China is interested in the land.
